The best-laid plans are in my other pants
Before you read this entry, please be aware that it might rub you the wrong way. (That’s okay with me if it’s okay with you. I don’t expect that everyone will share my perspective.) There’s always the one guy who has to be the party pooper, and I guess it’s my turn. Ever since hearing…
Or at least as they are currently implemented. (Rambling rant alert!) Almost every IM client on the planet has the concept of a group. You create a group, give it a name, and populate it with your contacts. At first glance, this is useful. Having used IM clients since the latter years of AIM’s domination,…
I need to get into the habit of blogging more often. I haven’t even been twittering much lately… You’ve probably noticed the visual update to my blog by now. I got tired of the default WordPress theme. I had to tweak this one a bit to get it to behave the way I want, but…
There have been many good changes in my life recently. It’s been almost three months since I graduated college, and nearly two since I got married. Well, now I have another for the list. For two years I’ve been working at Ontario Systems as an intern. The first year and a half were a lot…
When this is posted, my wedding ceremony will be underway. It’s been a long wait but it was so worth it. Today I am marrying Deanne, the love of my life. We started dating about two and a half years ago. I can’t say it’s always been an easy road, but it’s been a good…

Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. “It is still in dispute whether wars between neighbors occur mainly because they…
I will be graduating in two weeks from Anderson University with a B.A. in Computer Science and Mathematics. I’m actively looking for employment in the Anderson/Muncie/Indianapolis, Indiana area. I’ve had several prospects for some months but nothing has come through yet. If you know of any opportunities, or are looking for a dedicated coder familiar…
I’ve been up to a lot of little things recently but haven’t undertaken any projects big enough to warrant a whole fancy blog post. I figured I might as well summarize what I’ve been up to. I’m doing a project at school that improves the experience of on-campus tutors and their clients. They’d been using…
I got the replacement for my defective laptop display on Saturday and got around to installing it last night. So far everything looks good. There are no defective pixels as far as I can tell and, as a bonus, it’s a matte display instead of the glossy one that came with my laptop. Woot!
It’s that time of the year again… when I get to relax after completing finals. It looks like I’m going to pass everything too, which is a pretty big deal since I literally cannot fail any class I’m enrolled in and still graduate in May. So now that I have some time to myself, here’s…
