Congradumalations the pAper chAse on your new rekid deal with KILL ROCKSTARS. Dont get big heads, we've all seen you in skirts!

Thank you IntelliJ, you keep developing in Java fun, I only wish you were built on top of eclipse. All you JavaOne'rs out there grab your free copy and be happy. (Ooooh, shining happy people just came on the radio. Dirk-duh Dirk-duh Dir Dir)

Sometimes I wish everyone I worked with was like me, then I think about that and I'm horrified by the reality of what that would truly be like. Thank god for diversity! Part of life is cleaning up other peoples messes, but understanding that doesn't make it any better. Not to harp too much on myself but I love my wife. No matter how bad a day, week, month, or year can be she's always there, and always makes me happy. I can only hope to do as much for her. To life, music, art, development; in otherwords everything.

I keep thinking, blogger.com/blogspot really needs some kind of stats. Spent most of this week babysitting a dog and pondering the effects of concurrency. Speaking of concurrence, I love you Doug Lea. You're my hero of the week.

Finally best .net book ever, Essential .Net volume 1, worth its weight in shredded, refined, bleached, and processed trees.

Discovered that people actually read this, and in surprisingly large number?! If you've read any posts on here (especially Sunday, June 06, 2004) you now know that I have neither tact, nor spelling ability, nor apparently any knowledge of proper grammar.

ISCAlert go grab this. Akamai's DNS DOS is still showing its effects even after the DOS stopped. *Sigh* time to prod some pointy hairs and make sure I get a refund... isc.sans.org is your friend

Which is better, Berkeley DB Java Edition, Concurrent HashMap, or PERST. Game on!

So I'm in Alpharetta GA this weekend attempting to make my body as sore as possible. Haven't heard from either my office or the people watching my house. These are good things. Its a nice feeling when your not working 36 hours a day trying to put out fires. Not much on the opensource front lately, I promise to post some information soon about what I'm currently working on. I will give you the name, Storm***** in memory of the storms that knocked out power and caused general havoc for a week in Big D little a, little l, little l, little a, and little s. Sometimes I wish Dallas had to s's. Dallass seems more appropriate depending on what mood I'm in...
