Repairs

We’ve been working on fixing up our new house. Little things here and there, and bigger things in between. Windows, doors, and furniture are just some of the things we need to take care of. This is taking a lot of time, but this semester is light with school work, and I am just finishing […]

Windows

We are getting new windows tomorrow. They are state of the art, double-hung, argon-filled, low-E, environmentally friendly windows–with lasers on their heads. Although the price is somewhat high, our old windows are in incredible disrepair. I avoid opening them at all costs, as there is no guarantee I can get them to go back down. […]

Evening in the Office

This evening, I returned home and straight back into the office. We are slowly putting together our home office, full of all the amenities that two workaholic yuppies could desire. We both have plenty of desk space and we plan on decorating to reinforce the particular gung ho which has facilitated successful careers. The walls […]

In the crawl space, I found two mouse carcasses which have now been neatly disposed of. In the garage, somehow a frog had entered and startled me! Later, Lisa […]

Tutorials

I’ve been running through tutorials recently. Django earlier in the week and now Google Apps (Java). This particular post was helpful in fixing a problem I was having in Eclipse compiling a JSP page. //groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/f6052ac60cff68ac/d84b7a9e1f504953?q=Error+running+javac.exe+compiler#d84b7a9e1f504953

Six-sigma Greenbelt

I received a six-sigma greenbelt via a project management class this summer. Among other things, we had to develop control charts for various processes and learn about how to diagnose processes that were out of control.

New House

We just settled on a new house and have been in the process of cleaning and doing repairs. Firstly, I want to acknowledge my darling wife, Lisa, for being the point-person for much of the home-buying process. Also, she’s done the majority of the cleaning–she’s an incredible wife and partner!Anyway, we installed a new mailbox […]

Sicbo Facebook Application

This is a Facebook application I wrote after the Thirteen application. It improves upon the first Facebook App with a new architecture. Animation uses the Facebook Animation library, and rendering is done via Smarty PHP Template engine. Lots of work went into the architecture, and there is even a localization scheme built in.
