Simpsons-O-Rama Published March 3, 2003

Tonight was one of those nights when you see a show you like and
you immediately think “What the hell did I just watch?”
Those are the words I said to my wife after the credits ran on tonight’s
show.

A Sad Day Published February 27, 2003

By now, most people worldwide are aware that Mr. Rogers has passed away from stomach cancer. It makes me feel kinda old. I don’t even know why I started watching him, but I know I enjoyed it for some reason. It was a good show that will probably live on forever in reruns. There’s not too many shows like it now, and I wonder if there ever will be. Kids don’t seem to want to sit still for that.

Interesting Week Published February 24, 2003

This has definitely been an interesting week. I’ve been working for several days with a portal system, for both work and my own personal use. I’ve been experimenting with a program called ASP-Nuke which is a free GPL project that has some interesting features, including a very nice skinnable interface. It’s got some issues though, and that’s where most of my time has been going. I’ve rewritten a lot of the code for the database access routines, but I hope to have it completed very soon.

The Budget Sucks Published February 19, 2003

I watched the Governer’s address tonight… it talks of sweeping job cuts and spending cuts. I agree with most of it, but I may lose part of (or all of) my job in the process. That really hurts because I just got this job and I really like it. Here’s the budget recommendation for the UW-System.in PDF format.

Mixed Feelings Published February 16, 2003

My replacement Palm m515 is okay, but not as great as all of the reviews I’ve seen. I like the fact that I can turn the backlight off and still see the color screen in the daylight, but I don’t like the fact that the colors are not as bright as the IIIc that I had. This one is considerably faster, but the screen seems more faded than my old one.

Trading In Published February 15, 2003

I’m packing up my Palm IIIc that I’ve had for two years. I love it… it’s been a great tool for me and I will miss it. But it’s dying… it won’t charge up anymore and so it’s time to take it in and use my service plan that I bought for it. Hopefully the one I get to replace it with will be cool… I’m looking at the m515… it’s the same value as my IIIc and it looks like it’s awesome.
