MyProgs.net

Posted in Link at 3:01 am

I’ve been wanting to do something like this for awhile, but never had the time…now someone has gone through the effort and they just need users to populate the system.

MyProgs.net is a tagging system for your favorite programs. See what others use for their image viewer, or sound editor.

GTD

Does anyone out there use David Allen’s Getting Things Done productivity techniques?

Has it worked for you and if not, why?
What does work?

I was curious enough to get the book and put it into my “queue” but I’m curious about the results for others.

Firefox has reached a 10 percent market share. You can read the story here. Now if we can just get the Brits onboard…

Take that Microsoft!

Web technologies

Posted in Computer at 3:38 am

I am completely enamoured by several web technologies right now…

XML is still on the radar
AJAX is hot lately
Ruby and specifically the Rails framework is also very hot
PHP5 will always be a favorite with me

What are you guys working with? And if you want some book recommendations for the above, let me know.

World Series comments

Posted in Sports at 3:33 am

Wow! What a great WS to watch. Incredible games. Some would argue that a few breaks here and there and the Astros could have swept the White Sox. Hell if it weren’t for Mr. Lidge that really could have happened! What’s going through that dude’s head right about now? I feel sorry for him.

Baseball, I will miss you old friend! So until pitchers and catchers report in February, I bid you adieu.

Now let’s see what kind of deals happen in the off season!!

MLB Playoffs

Posted in Sports at 1:35 pm

The MLB Playoffs are upon us…my thoughts:

– Boston sucks
– Yankees are overpaid, but played well to get in
– Houston : where would they be without Yankee bailers (Clemens, Pettitte)
– Atlanta: amazing accomplishment winning your division yet again…now do something in the playoffs
– San Diego: no chance
– St. Louis: solid from top to bottom
– Chicago White Sox: could be their year
– LA Angels: steady and a scary team to face in the first round.

I should know better…

Posted in News at 8:22 pm

Well, the whole site got deleted. The hosting company lost a raid array, but I should have known better and done better backups.

Please be patient as I piece things back together…

Today I feel old…

Posted in Personal at 4:19 pm

Today my oldest daughter started pre-school! Talk about mixed emotions! Fear, Happiness, Anxiety, Reluctance, on and on. She seems to have had a great first day, which is great, but if she had said “Mommy, Daddy, I don’t want to EVER grow up” well, that would have been fine too!
