On my own

Yup, the wife is off for a long weekend before starting her new job, so I’ll be home alone this weekend. And, of course, we all know what that means. Playing with Techie stuff! First on the agenda will probably be upgrading Firefox now that version 1.01 has been released.

Other than that, I have some plans to dig into SQL Server a bit, and maybe catch up on some blog reading and podcast listening. Oh and I still have plenty of those Drakes cakes to eat, too. 😉

Monday for me has been rather uneventful. Staff Meeting this morning didn’t even ruin my mood for the day like it has consistently the last few times we’ve had…

    The site’s been unreachable all morning. I heard through the grapevine that it’s because the servers are all being moved over to the as yet un-named merge partner’s company. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that this will be worth the wait, in terms of improved reliability and service. We shall see. Hopefully I’ll be…

    If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?” Or, as I tell coworkers when I come across one, “I don’t know why it works, I’m not even sure why those two things are related, but it works,…
