A Few Random Thoughts on a Friday
Well here I am again not blogging for a while. I had a couple posts that were coming along but they’re taking too long.
Here are a few thoughts:
- Wasn’t Python 3000 supposed to come out in October? Looks like they released another release candidate yesterday and moved it to December. Looking forward to porting our application at Bravadosoft over to the new version.
- As I’ve written before I really like Microsoft’s LINQtoSQL stuff, but then found out that they will probably be deprecating it in favor of their absurd Enterprise Frameworks business. Argh. ANOTHER good reason for using open source software.
- Which leads us to SubSonic, which I’ll probably use if I (have to) do another .NET project.
- Beautiful fall colors in East Cobb (Marietta) Georgia this year. I had thought the drought was supposed to hurt the leaves, but it’s great!
- Working at home and occasionally traveling to a very cool place beats just about any other form of work environment. I had it back in 2003-2004 with trips to Santa Monica once a month or so, and now I go to an undisclosed location once every few weeks. I’d rather be at home ALL the time, but that’s probably not as reasonable.

Every time I start blogging I always say to myself, “Self, let’s put out at least one post per week. That’s easy! One post per week, oh, and make it interesting and thought provoking. And funny.” Well, that usually doesn’t work. Something always comes up to push blogging down, even though it’s fun. So I figured I’d simply write a single post to cover the past three months, talk a bit about this and that. And no pressure to be funny, or even interesting for that matter. Let’s begin with my weight lifting. Read more Read more from the Uncategorized category.

FAIL. But first, a quick video of success! Let me get this out of the way first. After many hours spent feverishly coding, testing, coding, testing, submitting trial builds, etc, I left a debugging flag in my code and submitted it. This particular gem instructed my program to quit after 1 run. The trials go 5 runs. My program won’t make it that far, and so I will be disqualified. For all that is holy in this world why did I do that?! Read more from the OCaml, Python, Uncategorized category.

A notable first blog still exists, but that’s from a different life. Or hell, at least it seems that way. I was a consultant and then Managing Partner at a local Atlanta consulting firm named Intellinet, we’d just had child #1 (Anderson), and I was generally a pretty interesting guy. I’m much more interesting now. I’ve since started a software company with a couple of guys, added another child (Katherine), aged gracefully into my mid-thirties, and rediscovered my passion for software, programming, and (wait for it) all things Apple. Thanks for reading, and let’s see if I can write some interesting content. Read more from the Uncategorized category.
