So this year I'm going to be 38, which means that I've been collecting tattoos for 20 years. The biggest "rush" of ink has been in the last 5-6 years as I've actually been able to afford it, whereas before it was getting a piece done whenever I could spare …

I've been collecting tattoos for 20 years. In that time, Angela has never gotten a tattoo. Her sisters and her brother all have, but she was the last of the great holdouts. I'm pleased to announce that as of January 29th, that is no longer the case! Angela has lost …

The last 6-8 months have been pretty hectic for me, both at work and with other "real life" stuff and I've noticed, as a result, that my email handling has really suffered. I can't even say it's begun to suffer because it's entirely snowballed to the point where my inbox …

Being sick this Christmas season with a cold and a middle ear infection caused me to spend more time than I normally would have on Twitter and Facebook because it was a complete time-killer and I didn't have energy for anything productive. In fact, my one goal for this week …

God bless the faithful!

Probably most people who use git know about patch management and whatnot, so I'm writing this largely for myself as I keep forgetting (mostly because I don't have to do it very often).

Some code that I'm working on has a development branch which I'm working on while other fixes …

Actually, it's not much of an adventure so much as a reminder. I'm used to doing software RAID on Linux with mdadm and am fully comfortable with the commandline tools -- in fact, I prefer them to any GUI tools that may or may not be out there (for example, if …
