So far I’m enjoying the new job. I certainly have my work cut out for me. I was looking for apartments up north so I could cut out the 30 minute commute and ran across the place that’s literally across the street from the office. Looks pretty spiffy, has granite countertops, so I’ll have to […]

I have returned from my whistlestop visit of the east coast. On the EWR->AUS flight there were three ultra hot, size-2 girls.

The other day we noticed our lights at the office flicker and the facilities people at the datacenter logged a brief voltage sag. It turns out there was a guy in east Austin who broke into an Austin Energy substation to steal copper wiring. Several articles report he got into live conductors, was hit with […]

In a fit of boredom I cleaned off my desk in my bedroom and migrated the Mac from the kitchen counter to it. While I’m still sitting here squandering life away, it feels a lot more productive. I think this is because this is how I started off spending my 20s, sitting at a desk […]

I finally did it, I turned in my resignation today. It’s been a hard decision to make, I hope I’m doing the right thing. I’m giving up on over three years of familiarity and going to somewhere new to do different things. I vowed a couple months ago this would be my last year there, […]
