  • The most frustraing game

    Played a round of golf yesterday with two customers and another UGSer as part of a scramble at the Innovation Leadership summit.  It was the first game I have been able to play this year, so I didn’t play that well.  In the end I think we used 5 or 6 of my shots and…

  • Heaven is RSS Syncronization

    I admit it: I am an RSS junkie.  I can think of no better way to kill 5 minutes or an hours than catching up on my feeds.  I started out with a number of different client side readers until eventually settling on Feed Demon last fall.  I used it happily for a few months…

  • OK, all together now

    Well the migration seems to be complete. I have all of my old blog posts moved over and more importantly all of my customizations and plugins. It was a little harder than I thought, but not impossible. Ended up having to re-post the few entries I made before I got access to the MySQL database…
