  • So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

    I've been a software developer for almost 7 years now. To say I've had a good run at it would be an understatement (both financially and via life satisfaction)...I have no college degree, and learned most of my trade both on the job and in my spare time. Computers are one of the few fields where you can rise quickly through pure hard work and dedication without the requirement of a degree. With the proliferation of online communities and blogging, getting networked in to make even more of...

  • Valve's Orange Box -- A Great Way to Spend Less Time With Friends and Family

    First off, add me as friend over on Steam Community! If the little things in life like spending quality time with family, friends, pets, etc are important to you then I would highly recommend not purchasing the latest offering from Valve Software: The Orange Box . The majority of my weekend has been spent playing a smattering of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. Of the 3, I've spent most of the time playing Portal which from a purely gameplay point of view is one of the more...

  • Switching From Microsoft To Logitech Input Devices

    I've been a longtime user and fan of Microsoft input devices (keyboard/mouse)...pretty much ever since I made the move from Mac to Windows 9 years ago. That era is coming to an end as I'm transitioning over to Logitech hardware in my home office. Whereas Microsoft is all business with a touch of flash and a lot of comfort, Logitech is more about expanded functionality with a lot of flair. In the workplace, I'm sticking with the Microsoft Natural line of products since I do about 10x as...

  • Well That Turned Out To Be A Nightmare

    Twenty days since my last post...in the 3+ years I've been running this blog I don't think I've ever gone that long. Hopefully the two of you that read this site haven't jumped ship quite yet. Regardless... The job that I was so incredibly stoked about turned out to be quite the nightmare, and thus my brief tenure there has ended. Long story short, I was actively seeking other employment opportunities, they found out (I wasn't exactly trying to be stealthy) and weren't too happy about it so we mutually...

  • Scam Update -- Final Chapter (And Other Stuff)

    One of those sleepless nights, and I realized I never did really sew up what happened with all the scam BS that happened a few months ago. In short, nothing really happened. My bank A) transferred most of the funds I had lost into my savings account and B) allowed me to cash it all out. I appreciate the donations that came in (which in hindsite I realize was a pretty tacky thing to ask for, but hey...desperate times call for desperate measures) and have paid most of them back. Outstanding invoices...
