Performance Reviews

by @ Thursday, November 17th, 2005. Filed under general

It is performance review time. I hate this time. I mean I like the idea of getting a possible amazing raise, but hate the documentation of things to prove I deserve one. What do I put? I am not the type to track every accomplishment through the year, I just bust my butt doing whatever […]

Backyard

by @ Thursday, November 17th, 2005. Filed under house stuff

And here is the view of the house after its facelift from the backyard. Yeah, not much you can see from there. I love my backyard. The pile of concrete blocks is rearranged when I need a fire pit. Upright they are easier to mow around. Oh yeah, note I added a new category for […]

Are you rebuilding your house?

by @ Thursday, November 17th, 2005. Filed under house stuff

After some of the previous blog entries and comments I have also gotten some offline comments basically saying “Are you rebuilding your house?”. Well kind of, yeah, I have been. I will try to post some pics occasionally of some of the work. One of the larger transformations occurred when I had the peak of […]

PSS Frustration

by @ Saturday, November 12th, 2005. Filed under rants

Dana Epp has a blog that I like to follow, today she had a post on PSS frustration. PSS is Premier Support Services also sometimes known as Premium Support Services. This isn’t free support. You pay dearly for it. Her issue is that she had a problem and worked with PSS for 4 days prior […]

Poor republicans…

http://www.detnews.com/2005/schools/0511/11/A04-379018.htm “So the residents of Dover on Tuesday ousted all eight school board members running for re-election who had put their town in a global spotlight — and their school district on trial — for being the first in the nation to introduce intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in science class. In swept […]

Oh one more quick item on Borland Builder versus VS2005

by @ Friday, November 11th, 2005. Filed under general

I forgot to mention in my previous post on Visual Studio 2005 versus Borland Builder the .NET stuff in case for some reason I wanted to use .NET. Borland Builder 2006 will do .NET. It will compile C++, Delphi, and C#. Unfortunately it initially will only handle framework 1.1. Obviously they couldn’t build a product […]

Visual Studio 2005, close but no cigar. Back to Borland.

by @ Friday, November 11th, 2005. Filed under tech

Well I have been playing with Visual Studio 2005 since about 6PM and it is now about 2AM. That doesn’t include installation, I built a fresh 2003 SP1 Server yesterday and also loaded all of the VS stuff. That took several hours as well, I built VS from DVD. Overall the feel reminded me of […]

ClientTest Updated – V01.01.00

by @ Wednesday, November 9th, 2005. Filed under updates

I have updated ClientTest, it is one of the lesser known tools but has still had several thousand downloads. The update was for a single request I have gotten for it, to allow someone to cut and paste from the data window. That was like a 15 minute update and testing cycle so I did […]
