Browsing Posts in Lansa

I had an interview yesterday for a 6 month contract. I really liked the facility and the work environment seemed very clean and nice. The people I interviewed with were very nice. The only problem I have with it, is the length of the contract. My biggest worry is about not being extended. Both of [...]

Week in review

No comments

We got back from our trip to mass. on Tuesday. The trip was like our normal trips, some fighting, some fun, more uncomfortable than anything really. We had Aaron’s birthday party on sunday, in mass. He had a lot of fun and got quite a few gifts. We had to mail ourselves a box full [...]

Resignation

No comments

Today, I resigned from my current company. I’ve known this day was coming for about 26 days now. The decision to leave my current position was one of the easiest I’ve had to make in my young career. I did learn a lot from my time here and have worked with two of the finest [...]

My son, the baker

No comments

If that isn’t the cutest picture of a kid in a green baker’s suit, then you know some really cute kids! I’m also considering a new position! This means major changes for the family I think. After speaking with the recruiter, this sounds like a great opportunity. Meri and I will have to talk about [...]

Insomnia

No comments

Meri and I were in bed, getting ready to fall asleep and then she started talking about work and how she didn’t want to go back tomorrow. That got me talking (and thinking) about my job.

New projects

No comments

Long time no post!

I just registered a new domain, LansaDocs.com. I registered it because the current Lansa documentation is somewhat lacking and needs some tender loving care that only the users (developers) of Lansa can provide. I have installed a Wiki (MediaWiki to be exact) so that the users can modify or add notes as they see fit. [...]

Orlando news for me!

No comments

Let me just say start out and say that I have not abandoned the blogging that I grew to like a lot during my significant downtime while I worked at Terminix. I have just been really busy; between work and WoW and house searching and then more work…plus I had a lot of work to [...]

I just wrote an “auto complete” script in Lansa utilizing the Yahoo UI which passes back data from the DB2 database as a JSON string! I told you I would go on to be the Lansa programming ninja I’ve always aspired to be!

First weekend in Orlando

No comments

So this is my first weekend in Orlando and what am I doing? Am I out drinking and partying and acting like a bachelor? Nope! I’m here at 9:30 pm on a Friday night writing a blog post on my new work laptop while I take a breather setting it all up and installing my [...]
