It’s been a bit of a slog lately so I’ve failed to report on the last two beers to hit the fridge. Black Squirrel The Squirrel is the first repeat brew we’ve tried. The first batch was quickly consumed and highly regarded. The second time around things are equally good. I did cut down on…
It’s not religion, but it is close. My attachment to vi has only grown since I first really gave it a shot little over two years ago. Getting vi keybindings in a Java editor pushed me to finally scrap Eclipse in favor of NetBeans. At work I’m a little more heavily tied down in terms…
I’m getting daily emails from MLB reminding me that I can vote for the MLB All Stars. We’re not even 9% of the way through the season and yet I’m supposed to be voting on the best players? At least let them finish the first month before unleashing the haranguing. Familiar refrain: I love baseball.…

This will probably make Jim mad but I want to personalize each brew a little more. Anyway, so far I’ve come up with this:…
Oh my! So here’s my fun, work-related rant of the day. So nearly three years ago I was tasked with solving the problem of how we could install the same application on a windows box multiple times in such a way that we could isolate customer data. In short, each customer gets its own installation…
