  • Word Press Test Post

    OK, trying out some new blogging software here. Honestly, I’ve been a bit trapped by CoreBlog. It was nice because of it’s integration with Zope, but it was pretty hard to keep up to dat and there didn’t seem to be a very large community out there. I gave it one good last try with…

  • Change of scenery

    Well, if you’re just coming to my homepage, you may not notice much difference, but for the few long time users, you will notice right away that I’ve changed the order of things a bit around here.  I finally decided to take to plunge and switch my blog site to be the main page and…

  • Vacation – Day 3: Hello Mickey!

  • Team dynamics

    OK third time I’m trying to get this post done.  Not sure what keeps happening, but for some reason when I try to post, the main body blanks out.  Anyway, here is a slightly abbreviated version of what I wrote the first two times: I spent the last few days in some senior management meetings…

  • Getting things done…literally!

    My work life feels like it finally is coming into balance.  I still have alot of things to get done, but I have better visibility and control over what they are.  A new guy started on my team this past week and that has helped.  Although he’s still coming up to speed, just knowing that…
