There are days when I am nearly overwhelmed by the beauty around me.
Today is one of those days. The front range is so beautiful today I
just had to share it even though my camera phone really does not do it justice.
I took this picture on my commute to work this morning. I have […]
Colorado Startups has created an events calendar.
As you
might have guessed, there are lots of interesting events happening in
the Denver-Boulder area but finding out about them is sometimes a
little difficult. Having someone find and aggregate that information
into a single calendar is immensely helpful.
They are using Google Calendar as the host of the information which
means that […]
It is autumn in Denver. As I look out my office window I see
mountains with snow on them behind the foothills bathed in the
particular golden light of autumn. It is a gorgeous view. I love
this time of year.
I have seriously considered taking up smoking again since fall
arrived. There are very few […]
I have been using
Markdown to
write my blog posts for quite some time now and I really like it. I
was a little surprised how much I liked it when I first switched
because before I had been writing in HTML which works well. But it
really is easier to focus on the content when you don’t […]
I just completed my transition back to a Linux workstation1. My distro is
Ubuntu, of course. I first tried Ubuntu about
eight months ago, at my previous job, and was impressed so I stuck
with it. On a side note, I am quite pleased to see how Ubuntu
is
getting
noticed
recently.
Every time I install Ubuntu it blows me […]
I have started roller-blading again after a two plus year absence. I
had forgotten how much fun it is. I managed to escape the office for
a while today and go blading on the Boulder Creek Path. Blading is
like biking in the sense that you don’t really forget how to do it.
So even with […]
I am not going to be able to attend RailsConf this year. That means I have one RailsConf ticket I would like to sell at face value ($400 US). I also have a conference rate ($100/night) hotel reservation for June 22-26 at the Wyndham O’Hare that I will transfer to whomever buys the […]
A few months ago Mr O’Grady mused about coffee shops being good
places to
work.BTW
Stephen, when is the next Denver Tech
Meetup? In that post he
mentioned that he really liked the idea that while working in a public
space you might run into other technically inclined people from the
area. That idea had not occured to me before but […]
I am just finishing my first day here at WebRoot. It has been an interesting day. I have learned a little of how things work here and meet some great people. You know, the usual first day sort of stuff. I cannot wait to do some real work.
For the first time […]
Today is my last day at CFP Board. That means that this is my last
day working with RoR professionally, for a
while at least, and that makes me a little sad.
RoR is a sweet piece of work. It is a platform on which a developer
can be enormously productive. For example, I fixed three […]
