Nothing to report today….pretty much just put up with the heat. It smacks you in the face like a heat bat. For real.

After this weekend’s epic amount of demolition and destruction of the bathroom, my body didn’t want to do any more work. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking down to when the twins arrive…which means I don’t get to have a complete day off from work….something has to be done, even if it’s a small effort. Today, [ Read More ]
Today I continued the demolition of the master bathroom. I eventually removed 3 walls….but not before it took it’s toll on my hands, arms, back, legs, face, toes, and pretty much every other muscle/bone in my body. If you didn’t know, concrete is heavy. And each wall had about 1.5 inches of concrete behind it, [ Read More ]
Today was UEFA Champions League day, and what a glorious day it turned out to be. Barcelona versus Manchester United….both with 3 champions league titles already, trying to get their 4th. But first, I made some awesome pancakes with fruit for breakfast. Gaze on them with wonderment: After that, I did a little cleanup, and [ Read More ]
I hate being self-aware sometimes. In this case, I really hate being future-self-aware. I was doing some development today that required a pretty simple (in concept) piece of code to prevent people from submitting invalid data. Basically I needed to prevent people from submitting a string of text that had anything except letters, numbers, underscores, [ Read More ]
I guess it’s summer now, whether I like it or not, whether the calendar says it is or not…it’s hot, and for me, that means summer. I walked across campus today for something, or maybe it was down the street…i don’t remember…probably due to heat exhaustion. And it gets better…..This isn’t the hottest that it’s [ Read More ]
Today I gave a quick 45 minute presentation to a few people at NC State about the service I developed called “Go Links.” It’s a link shortening/redirection service that can help with marketing, publications, cost-savings and a few other things. The presentation is here if you’re interested: http://go.ncsu.edu/oit-lunch-learn-golinks.
Tonight I headed out to pick up some Chinese food for dinner (Orange Chicken, Mandarin Chicken, Fried Rice, Cream Cheese Rangoons FTW!)…but when i pulled up to the speaker, it had an error across the screen: “Windows CE…..” I couldn’t believe that there were still devices running Windows CE. I remember it from before I [ Read More ]
Today I got a whole lot of stuff done at work, but it was one of those days where you get to the end and feel like you didn’t even make a dent in your to-do list. So…I got home, and wanted to just dissolve into my pillow, but then I realized that we needed [ Read More ]
Today I woke up, tired, sore, but motivated to get started on the master bathroom. We have needed to fix it since we moved in, and today was the day to get started. I did the easy pieces first…taking off the shower door, removing all the unnecessary hardware from the room. Then I got started [ Read More ]
