    Available for Microsoft Solutions Architecture

    The last few months have really taught me a lot about what I don't want . For instance, writing and running Ad-Hoc SQL queries at the whim of the business is probably not the best use of my talent. In addition, people that just haven't caught up to what ORMs offer (Gosh, even Microsoft has two free ones...

    Alienware Repave Clean Image Install List

    I already did my " Inessential List of Tools " back some time ago but yesterday, in the attempted install of the new VS2008 SP1 , I found that the so-called Hotfix Cleanup Utility would not work for me. Nothing was really working to remove the Beta 1 bits including manual registry methods,...

    Looking for New Opportunities

    Neudesic is an amazing place to work, and I have learned a lot there as well as had a blast during the last year. While continuing a relationship with Neudesic (I still believe in Neuron as an SOA Enabler ), I am committed to reduce my substantial travel. I am very much open to new work in the South...

    In Rainbows

    I pre-ordered Radiohead's In Rainbows weeks ago and got the download last week. I am listening to it right now and it is excellent. I've heard all the songs on tapes from their tour of 2006 but it's great to have them out. It sure is good to have the guitars back too!!...

    45

    Yes Sir, I'm officially old today as I am 45 today on my birthday. Steve (should have got that iPhone!) and Jon came over from work for the cookout yesterday. I think Angus, who we thought was a bull dog, but maybe we bought a pig instead, seemed to have the best time as he eating consisted of at least...

    Lynyrd Skynyrd in Atlantic City

    Sue and I finally made it over to Atlantic City (which is only about 40 minutes away) to see Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Borgata Event Center . I was skeptical as the real Lynyrd Skynyrd of my fan time in 1970-78 was so potent. Not only did this version rock they blew the doors off the place! There were huge...
