24" Monitor

So, Dell has new, cheaper 24" widescreen monitors.

$400 is tempting, all that extra workspace. If only I hadn't already spent all my extra money on an iphone :)

Not Another Teen Movie

This is not a cheer-ocracy, I am the cheer-tator, I will make the cheer-cisions around here, and I will deal with the cheer-onsequences.

Microsoft Ruby .NET

Microsoft is creating a Ruby implementation for .NET -- I'm sure they will call it something ridiculous like Microsoft Ruby .NET Enterprise Extended Edition 2008. And charge a kajillion dollars for it. Awesome. Or that other thing, not awesome.

Catching up on email and the like right now, thinking of going and grabbing a coffee...

Spooky spooky, hope someone else shows up sooon.

Back to the working world...

God damn do I have a lot to do this week. All my wonderful plans for trying out some of the new tools and techniques I learned over the weekend have suddenly been crushed by an onslaught of overdue work. Overall it really sucks that I've gotten involved in a ton of small websites, it really kills me to have to do tech support for them - death by a thousand underpaid cuts. Only big projects, with actual budgets and contracts from now on. I swear.

I am looking forward to going to Roswell tomorrow, I finally have an idea of how to create a test harness for my order management system so that I can make changes without causing regression and breakage. It's been sucky to work without the testing tools that I've grown so dependent on. Testing is so awesome, such a confident way to move forward. You end up testing everything anyway, so to do it in an organized fashion actually takes less time then manually verifying that nothing breaks after each change.

Super Happy Weekend

We're on our way back home from my Programming Conference, and it was so awesome, I'm just blown away by all the smart people. The sessions were so good, and I'm sad I had to miss out on some of the ones that I couldn't make because of choosing other talks. I won't bore with the details (I do that enough already), but I can't wait for next year!
