Aren't you supposed to get your MCSD before your MVP? Well, I finally finished all the tests for the MCSD.NET and I am happy to have that behind me.
After spending most of the last two days with food poisoning, my tip of the day is to avoid Room Temperature Sushi...
Sure, I'd hoped to be quoted someday about Longhorn, Avalon, WinFS or something interesting...not this...not even sure why I posted anything...
As anyone who's read my book or articles can usually determine, I am a fan of the Atlanta Braves. I am very excited about yesterday's news of the signing of Tim Hudson to a long term deal. This is the best signing since Greg Maddux in '92. Why? Look at these stats:
Career Record: 92/39 (.702)
Career ERA: 3.30
Career K's/9: 6.52
Career Record when his team scores five or more runs: 72W/2L (.973)
This is an excellent list. I only currently do one of them, but have done a number of them. I think they missed the
SCA though!
To whomever designed the kidney, I have a bone to pick with you. I've spent two of the past four nights in the Hospital dealing with kidney stones. Nasty thing is that the pain medication that usually dulls it well enough has done nothing with these new nasty sized pearls. Now that they know what they are made up (mostly calcium), I have to change the whole way I eat, or more appropriately, drink. I've been told to give up all milk products, colas and tea. I guess I have to drink water...
Well, enough of my griping.
So it's Christmas day and I received a RoboSapien from my brother. It takes me back to my first 'Programmable' toy back in the eighties. Much more limited than the RoboSapien, the Big Trak was a tank that you could specify it to move forward, back, turn left and right, and fire a fake laser:
In constrast, the RoboSapien has a much larger bank of operations, but still a pretty limited amount of task space. What I do like about the RoboSapien is the sound and touch sensors. This allows you to determine what to do during collision with objects or even let you create a robot watch dog. I can't wait to finally get home to Atlanta to see how the cats like it ;)
Elf on the TV, apple pies in the oven, ham on the table and I am blogging. I must be nuts. Of course I am at my mother's house and anything to get me out from in the middle of my vaguely crazy family. Its wonderful to be home, but I am constantly reminded of why I left my hometown to begin with.
I hope everyone out there is having a happy holidays, whether it is Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice or just December.
After a harrowing couple of weeks we're finally here. We got into town on Friday, two trips to the airport, three cats, one fiance...check. Much to my dismay, the apartment we had gotten was nothing like the model. Frankly, it was a dump. What to do?
After a tough nights sleep, I got up determined to find a real place to live, even if I had to break the lease. Luckily we found a wonderful place only a few minutes away. Re-packing the cats was a chore, but we're now at our new place and finally relaxing for the first time in weeks.
If only we had our furniture...
