Let’s try this again. A subject for another blog, I’ve been asked to help a local small retailer join the eCommerce revolution. The owner has finally decided that he needs to be online or he faces obsolecense. I’m not a heavy web or software developer, so I was looking around for off-the-shelf (off-the-net?) open source…
I’ve just gotten about half way through a blog post about some (at least to me) cool drupal work I was doing. I wanted to check and make sure that I used the proper Textile formatting on a piece of the blog, so I dropped down to the “[ inline:xx ] tags” link to check,…
I was speaking with an (older) acquiantance last night and he was complaining about people who get in their car and immediately get on their cell phone (or “mobile”, for most of those outside the US). Which reminded me of how lazy and spoiled we’ve gotten. Do you remember when we had corded phones in…
Today is the first anniversary/birthday of “OpenSolaris”:http://opensolaris.org/os, the open source code base of the Solaris Operating system. Happy anniversary/birthday! Recently, there were nominations accepted for OpenSolaris contributor awards. As I read over the nominations, I initially felt that they were similar to other OSS contributions; they were heavily weighted towards people who did code putbacks,…
I just saw the “announcement”:http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=8933&tstart=0 my second OpenSolaris bugfix was accepted and integrated. This one is a little more substantial than the first, fixing a memory access error that didn’t check to make sure the memory location existed first. I don’t know… maybe I’ll go back to being a software developer one of these days….
Well, today made it official. I have in my possession my Bachelor of Science and Master Degrees in Business Administration. It’s been a long seventeen years since I graduated high school and started on my advanced education, especially the first three and last four (considering I didn’t do anything about schooling for the middle ten)….
I’ve always hated the “For Dummies” and “Complete Idiots Guide To” series. Maybe its just me, but I have a real problem with a book that starts out by insulting me. I wouldn’t mind seeing a series named “For the Uninformed”, at least that isn’t denegrating me. I saw to me the ultimate in these…
Thanks to Jim Grizansio, the OpenSolaris Community Manager from Sun, my blog is now appearing on “OpenSolaris Blogs”:http://opensolaris.org/os/blogs/ and Jim’s “Bloglines”:http://www.bloglines.com/public/jimgris site. Ok, I’m strange, I find this to be extremely exiting.
I’ll be presenting today at the “Central Ohio Linux User Group”:http://www.colug.net/. My topics today will be OpenSolaris and LOPSA. COLUG, although billed as a Linux User Group, is really focused on all Open Standards technologies. Anyone from Central Ohio, come on out. Also, if you’re within a couple of hours drive of Columbus, or if…
I’ve spent the last four years working on classes to complete my BSBA and my MBA, and I just realized exactly how much time it had taken. My classes are winding down; last night I turned in my last paper, and next Wednesday is the last night of class. I’ve been feeling a bit melancholy…
