Joel on Software: the book! the interview! the dessert topping! A few weeks ago I got an email from the people doing promotions of Joel Spolsky‘s new book — they wanted to send me a free copy since I’ve linked to Joel so many times over the years. Hey, I like free stuff. I suppose this is what’s called a “review copy.” Well, I’m happy...

Stew song on Everwood tonight! So yesterday Leah and I went and saw Stew at the Adams Ave Street Fair as promised. He was wonderful as always. He also mentiond a little fun fact about having a song on TV tomorrow — which is to say today. So here’s the 411, direct from the Stew camp: last time we had...

Panorama City Is The Place To Be And I Say That Unironically So today is coming to a close. Started out with a trip to the dump! Then a drive up to see a football game featuring two of Leah’s kids. Then lunch at the Cheesecake Factory (Cobb Salad). We then saw Mr. 3000 (not bad) and made our way home. Herculean driving of the 170 miles...

C++ Tutorial I came across this C++ Tutorial. I’ll be reading it. It’s nowhere near as useful as Roedy Green‘s Java pages, but it’ll do in a pinch. More work done, another week nearly over. I need to take a couch to the dump and go to work!

Stream-of-consciousness Everything’s a bit blurry. But we have new couches as of Tuesday. Leah made Adas Polo Rice the other day. That was great. Classes going well. The rat-a-tat Spanish teacher is still rat-a-tat. Killing ’em in C++ class. Technical writing is good. Enjoying my work (it’s painless and simple) and my freelance too. And Stew...

Anniversary. It was 2 years ago today that I met Leah. I was pretty giddy. She’s wonderful and I love her. She’s not feeling well right now. I hope she gets well soon. We’re gonna get married, but we don’t know when. We’re real interesting. And yes, I’ve been quiet lately here on the blog. Well,...
