Doctor Appointment

No comments

Meri had another doctors appointment this morning.  She got to hear the heartbeat again.  It was a bit faster than Aaron’s was when Meri was pregnant with him. We are going to have an ultra-sound on Monday, the 22nd.  We will be able to find out the sex of the baby.  The 22nd is supposed [...]

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. Then I started bitching…and bitching and bitching and bitching. So now, about 2 hours later (yeah, we go to [...]

I’m utterly disgusted by how my shop deploys software!  We (frequently) have a need to do a rush job on a project, be it an update or completely new functionality that a customer “needs…like yesterday”. Short version of this bitchy-rant is every software shop needs QA!  If you don’t care to read the rest, thanks [...]

New projects

No comments

Long time no post! Well things have been busy here at work!  The LANSA projects are wrapping up for me: the version 2 of the Gradebook, written in LANSA with heavy use of AJAX (and JavaScript) and CSS, has been handed off to the consultants we have been using since the project began; I re-wrote [...]

Lots of stuff!

I started on this post a few days ago so here goes my attempt to finish it… We finally closed on our house in Memphis and 3 days (yes…3 days) later, the buyers mortgage company finally cut the check and we got paid so yay for that. We also closed on our house here in [...]

Yay, someone sent us a contract on our house! They are offering $235k, which is only $4,900 less than we are asking. Ok, enough good news, now for the bad. They have a house to sell…a house that was just put on the market yesterday (1/5/07). This is the third time this couple has looked [...]

It’s official…

No comments

Today is our third anniversary. It doesn’t seem like we’ve been married that long. Aaron still seems new to me too. Maybe it’s being away from them for so long that makes me feel like it’s all still so fresh. I am going home Saturday morning (Nov. 11th) and I’ll be with my family until [...]

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!

Ok, so I was just screwing around online since I’m all alone and nobody is around and saw this GREAT NEWS! (end sarcasm) The day is upon us, IE 7 is going to be released, sometime this month. Well ain’t that just the grandest thing you’ve heard in a long ass time. As I have [...]
