Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong? That’s going to be in my head all night… Happy Friday! I worked from home today which means that this afternoon I worked from the patio chair in the back…

Friday 5: Minding your Peeves and Qs
Happy Friday! You’re reading the blog of the only person in South Jersey who is thrilled that it’s been in the high 80s the last few days. I’ve been in shorts and tank tops, drinking Sam Adams Summer Ale, and…
Travel: Austin, Texas!
Remember the Big!Work!Project! that consumed an entire year-and-a-half of my life? (You: YES KIM YOU WON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.) It was a large-scale software implementation at our organization – it’s a brand new system that lets us take better…
Currently: crazy-ass western robot edition
Watching: Westworld. I didn’t see season 1 but read the recaps. As a long-time player of MMORPGs, I appreciate the game references and the min/maxxing effort of the Man in Black. Digging: through dirt, still pulling dandelions. Next year I…

Oh crap you guys. I’m attending a software user conference in Austin, TX this week and I completely neglected the blog. And now it’s Show Us Your Books day and I can’t NOT do it. I have a streak going….
Ollie, snoozed
Ollie, the elder member of our Snore of Spaniels, demonstrates why I call the group a Snore. He’s here in WM’s chair, completely oblivious to me bumping around trying to clean things up. Sometimes he sleeps so deeply I have…
Written after kissing the cable to my house
Back online again! It turns out the problem I thought was solved here wasn’t solved, and our Comcast (I will never get used to “Xfinity”) service plonked yesterday morning, just as I was hooking up my laptop for my weekly…
