1. Work/Programming HA! We had a meeting with the vendor (the one who said our code was making their code run slow) and I told them I was having trouble reproducing the issue. If I can’t reproduce the problem I can’t fix it. They hemmed and they hawed.. and then finally they admitted that they can’t reproduce the problem either.…

1. Work/Programming About a month ago in a meeting a vendor said that their code was running slowly because our code had some kind of issue and was loading their code slowly. Since wasn’t aware of their code running slow.. and I don’t make it a habit to yell at vendors in meetings I didn’t contradict them and instead said…

1. Work/Programming I’m starting to get into a groove on my current work project. Granted its the same evolving project that I’ve worked on for the last few years.. but it’s complex DOM manipulating javascript.. and I think I’m actually starting to understand what I’m doing (instead of doing it and poking the DOM to see if ti works). It’s…

1. Work/Programming Is it bad that I still really like my job? I mean it’s not like I’m saying “No, don’t give me time off for the Holiday”.. but all things considered.. it’s not a bad thing to go back to after the holiday. My last day of work was 12/20. I won’t be back in the office until 1/3.…

1. Work/Programming The big huge giant project I’ve been working on for most of the year is going to get done launching next week. Busy busy busy. There’s another big huge giant project looming over me.. but I don’t start on that until Monday. So in the meantime I’m tying up loose ends on the previous big huge giant project…
Our Story So Far
This is that post. You know the one. The one where the blogger comes back and sheepishly admit that they haven’t blogged for a while and then fervently promises to do better. Yeah.. that one. Anyway. It’s September, nearly October and my year in weight loss is not going as smoothly as I’d like. I haven’t ballooned up to 400…
July Goals and Progress
I know, it’s the 18th of July and I’m just now posting the June recap. Sorry, I’m busy busy busy. 2011 Goals: Sew one new thing a month – June totally rocked. I’ve been buzzing right through my Pennsic sewing list. Let’s see. I finished a brown tunic, two pairs of braies and 3 coifs. Read a book a month…
June Goals and Progress
Man! Is it just me or did May just -fly- by? Ok.. On to the monthly check in. 2011 Goals: Sew one new thing a month – I finished exactly one thing. My blue dress. It totally rocks. Read a book a month – I finished “Medieval clothing and textiles – 4” I’m really looking forward to trying to make…

1. Work/Programming I am having -so- much fun! I know I’m not supposed to say that about “work” but I am. I finally have a development environment all setup and working for a project that I helped develop 10 years ago. On this project usually getting a dev env setup takes 2-3 weeks (I’ve done it a few times in…
May Goals and Progress
2011 Goals: Sew one new thing a month – I’ve totally rebounded after last month’s stunning failure at this goal. This month I completed a multitude of projects. I finished a rust-brown hood for me, I finally put the finishing touches on F’s new olive green fighting tunic. I finished off Her Highness of the Mists Purple tunic, my green…
