We're back!
Tuesday, August 30, 2005 4:50 AM
Well it looks like the upgrade is done. I've used this blogging engine before so I'm sort of used to it. It's pretty much the same as what we use at blogs.msdn.com and my Computer Science Teacher blog. The rest of theSpoke is pretty new to me. I played

Internet Everywhere
Friday, August 26, 2005 6:39 PM
I am in Physical Therapy right now. Really. As I type this there is some gadget taped to my knee sending electricity though it. There are several access points in the building and at least two are wide open. So rather than reading 6 month old magazines

Up and out
Tuesday, August 23, 2005 5:46 PM
I had an early flight this morning. The flight left a couple of hours before I usually get out of bed. So naturally I wanted to stay in bed as long as possible. I set the alarm clock for 15 minutes before I wanted to leave. My wife expressed surprise.

Coding for Fun
Sunday, August 21, 2005 6:08 PM
I haven't written much code for the fun of it in quite a while. I’ve missed it. So this afternoon when my son told me that his computer was having problems I had an excuse to do so and I jumped at it. We had a little poker tournament tonight. Just a friendly

Rants
Wednesday, August 17, 2005 8:08 PM
I've been ranting away today. I don't know if it is because I am feeling better or if it is because I didn't blog much for a few days or if I'm just an old grump. The action is at my other blogs.

Keeping it light
Monday, August 15, 2005 3:17 PM
Some Microsoft employees showed up at an Open Source event dressed as Darth Vader and a pair of Imperial StormTroopers. I can't say that I'm surprised. Working for Microsoft pretty much means that you learn to expect attacks on the company and even

More bloggers fired
Sunday, August 14, 2005 10:45 PM
Interesting article. Apparently employees made nasty comments about other employees online. They also talked about messing with their organizations service plan. The company was not amused. You probably don't want to insult people online. Or in person

QOTD
Saturday, August 13, 2005 6:17 PM
What a great question of the day. There are some really creative ideas in the code expressing how people feel. I used for (;;); which is your basic tight infinite loop. That's just because my mind seems to be racing today. It's spinning but I don't seem

Update
Friday, August 12, 2005 5:14 PM
My operation went well. For some reason I'm not in any pain. I thought maybe the pain meds they used for the operation were just lasting a long time but it's been over 24 hours. Apparently this happens in rare cases. I am not complaining. Nor am I counting

Time to go shopping
Wednesday, August 10, 2005 6:30 PM
I have a lot of shirts with the Microsoft logo on them. Lots! And I am not talking about t-shirts (although I do have a bunch of MSFT t-shirts as well) but really nice button down shirts. But today I went into my closet to look for a nice shirt without

Sleepy
Sunday, August 07, 2005 4:42 PM
I am getting old. (Or maybe I've gotten there already.) I got home around 2AM after being away all last week. Up early (early for me) everyday and staying up late every night. And believe it or not all I want to do is sleep today. The time zone change

My son called me first thing this morning on his way into work. I'm in Seattle, three timezones away. He didn't really expect to get me and was planning on leaving voice mail. But I heard the phone and got to talk to him. He was calling to wish me

Power or comfort?
Tuesday, August 02, 2005 7:35 PM
I am at a huge Microsoft training event this week. Something like 5000 technical Microsoft people from around the world are at the Washington State Convention Center. AS you might expect this means a lot of people with laptops. There are wireless hot

Travel Changes
Monday, August 01, 2005 3:07 PM
I’m regularly amazed at the changes in air travel from when I was a child. When I was a child flying in an airplane was a big deal. Many of my friends went well into adulthood without ever taking a trip by air. When you thought about traveling somewhere

Seattle Fun
Monday, August 01, 2005 1:12 AM
I am in Seattle this week. I may be too busy to blog. We'll have to see. :-) I took the bus from the airport to downtown Seattle. A taxi would have been about $20 more ($22 v. $1.25) and would not have gotten me hear much sooner. That's hardly worth the
