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.

Life is interesting. Work is shaping up to be pretty cool. I have a new project to work on and a new methodology to approach. I’m going to be writing ASP pages that will connect to our mainframe terminal screen programs and allow web users to query data from our mainframe. It’s going to be a lot of fun to create new interfaces for these applications, and I’m very excited to get to do some designing again.

Lazy weekend Published February 10, 2003

What a weekend. I spent the whole weekend with my wife and daughter. My wife got sick on Saturday so she came home from work. We all sat around all day and watched TV. I took my daughter out in the snow and we had a snow fight. She wanted to stay out longer, but she was complaining that her face hurt so we went in. Sure enough, she was all red-in-the-face from the wind, even though she was bundled up prety good.

Hot Snot! Published February 5, 2003

Today was an interesting day. We had a consultant come in and go over this technology that allows us to use ASP to connect to our Unisys mainframe via COM objects. Blah blah blah. It’s neat to me because we don’t have to rewrite all of the mainframe programs. I still have to say that the best part of my job is being able to go in and make a difference.
