I just returned from the Orlando Perl Workshop. The conference was on the smallish side but I enjoyed the day of talks. My two went well and I got to spend some time with friends that I’d either never physically met or that I hadn’t seen in quite a while.
The highlight of the [...]

Jackson tagged me with a “7 things about yourself” meme. I made the mistake of scanning feeds right before bed and now I feel compelled to satisfy my obligation before bed, so here goes.
I’m a closet designer and typography nut. I spent 2 hours “hacking” tonight on Fibonacci sequences, leading and rhythmic padding. [...]

Today was my last day at magazines.com. I started there 4 years ago as a Senior Developer and today I left my role of Development Manager to begin a new gig at Infinity Interactive. I’m pretty sure that I’ll write more about this after I get started tomorrow.
I’ve been hacking on Clicker a [...]

My day to day responsibilities have changed pretty drastically in the last two years. I’ve gone from being the sole developer on a small, focused project to a manager over a department that is creating some some fairly large projects.
On second thought, it’s not so different. The challenges of the projects are the [...]

Friday night I released new version of my 2 Perl modules. I followed that up with more hacking over the last few days. Eventually I’ll release a new version of Clicker with some new features, but I got perturbed at it today and played the Xbox.
Speaking of XBox, Connect360 kicks ass. Reminds [...]

There’s a saying that’s floated around at my last two jobs. It was started by my one-time boss and continued by my current one. Difficult or irritating problems are often introducted by saying this:
I have an opportunity for you…
The idea, of course, is to frame a problem in it’s rosiest light. It’s become [...]

Highlights: Avoided a root canal.
At what do we labor?
Seriously. Is it fleeting feelings? Some type of legacy?
Honestly, I’m not really sure what the hell I’m after. I don’t think about it very often.
But wait. Maybe I have inklings of an idea. I want to enrich the life of another. [...]

emusic is all that iTunes isn’t. I can’t find good documentation but it looks like the label is getting a good share. Since they are indie I’m assuming the artist is getting taken care of. No DRM for me. Steve could learn something.
Having many projects cooking at once is something I’m [...]

Outkast reference for the win.
I copped a Mac Mini over the weekend and have been slaving away to teach it how to pluck choice tidbits from the intarwebs to amuse me when I’m at home. This quest has been fruitful. Battlestar Galactica, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and Heroes are currently migrating [...]
