Thumbnail image for Some small wins..

So I’ve been trying to have some wins in life.. and in the last weeks, I’ve managed to make a few, albeit small ones. I figured I’d post these publicly so all my friends, enemies, and random haters on the ‘net can mock me mercilessly if necessary. ;)

Site updates; switched themes to Headway, then Thesis

November 18, 2009

As I’m sure my regular readers have noticed (and as I mentioned here), my site has undergone a redesign. Instead of having my articles sections managed via a custom (and ancient) php mini-framework that I wrote many years ago, I’ve imported everything into WordPress. This means that people can now leave comments on all pages, [...]

how does amazon do it?

August 29, 2008

I recently needed a new UPS, and liked the price/performance of the CyberPower OR2200LCDRM2U. I was just about to go ahead and order it from NewEgg (link), but happened to swing over to Amazon (link) first. NewEgg had the UPS listed for $399.99; at the time I ordered, Amazon was selling it for $356.19. So, [...]

nate + drywall == mistake

January 28, 2008

So.
I was hanging some speakers in our living room.
And managed to punch a hole in the wall. [I was pounding in an anchor, and the wall gave way. Sigh.]
This weekend I decided to patch said hole.
I learned some things about myself and drywall patching:
1) If the piece is just a little bit too big, [...]

yeah.. i’m a little busy.

October 17, 2006

OK, like most fledgling bloggers out on the ‘net, I’m becoming an utter failure when it comes to updating this bad boy on a regular basis. Sorry ’bout that. Just a few random notes:

I’m extremely busy. Work. Work. Work.
I’m now the official NBC Sports sysadmin at my company. That means work. Lots of it.. sometimes.
We’re [...]

Narnia rules!

December 10, 2005

Just got back from the new Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe movie. Man, that movie rules! I just read the book (well, all of them) a couple weeks ago (gotta re-read the books before seeing the movies, you know), and the movie is darn close to the book. I can only think [...]

my very own blog!

September 16, 2005

Well, what can I say, my new co-workers are finally kind-a-sorta rubbing off on my.. I’ve started one of these silly blog things. It’ll be interesting to see how interested I stay in this – care to place any bets? In any case, this is going to get “the green light” on my main page [...]
