Updates on My Projects

Friday, August 28th, 2009

It’s been a bit since I talked about the various things that I’m doing, so I thought I’d give some updates. It’s been a very busy couple of months since I got to Indy (though I’ve still managed to find time to waste on a replay of Fallout 3!).

User Accounts Nuked

Monday, August 24th, 2009

In the Goblet of Fire, JK Rowling really begins to embrace the darker tone that she first begins to explore in the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the result is a book that I found more engrossing than any of the [...]

One Month in Indianapolis

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Well, we’ve been in Indianapolis for a month now, and what a month it’s been … Let’s do a list of highs and lows, shall we?
Cool

Broad Ripple is an awesome neighborhood with lots of quality restaurants and bars within an easy walk.
We love our house, even tho the air conditioner occasionally pours water all over [...]
