Friday Five – Batrachomyomachy

1. Work/Programming “Let me ‘splain.. no .. is too long.. let me summarize”.. this week I took things that had gotten out of sync and made them be back in sync again. It’s boring to explain.. but honestly this is the kind of thing I like to do.. well ok.. no.. not really like.. but if it isn’t done it…

Friday Five – Loopy if I say so myself

1. Work/Programming Busy busy busy at work. Yesterday I had lunch with my boss’s boss (who works out of the Florida office) and a bunch of the other San Francisco group that report up to her. One of the guys complained about how busy we are. I shushed him and reminded him that it’s better to be busy than not…

I’m heads down working on the next version. Currently it has 3 features and I’ve finished work on one of them. Luckily the one that’s finished is the hard…

Last Injection Weight (LIW): 287.0 Today’s Weight: 285.5 Today’s change: -0.0 Net change: -1.5 VLCD day 26. Stubborn.

Friday Five – The calm before the wars

1. Work/Programming My pet project is officially in QA. Now the waiting begins. In a meeting yesterday someone wanted to use my pet project in a way that it wasn’t meant to be used. They didn’t really like the answer of “it wasn’t scoped to be used like that.. and won’t work like that without an update”. They can not…

R1P2D24 – Birthday

Last Injection Weight (LIW): 287.0 Today’s Weight: 285.5 Today’s change: -1.5 Net change: -1.5 VLCD day 24. See what I mean.. if I were sticking strictly to protocol.. then I’m pretty sure tomorrow I’d have to overeat to stay withing 2 lbs of last injection weight.. and that just feels silly. So I’m not going to do it. (Fearghus did…
