Vic sent me this review of some new board games. They all look like a blast! I’ll have to buy some of these soon for another game night. Or perhaps I might get one for Christmas. *cough* (Ok, I never was too good at subtlety!)

Well, we got iced in yesterday and today. Woohoo! So I got to sit around in my jammies and code. At least, that was the plan. But of course they continue to over-analyze this release and nitpick it to death. I don’t honestly care at this point what they do with it, as long […]

We have had so much trouble getting this build approved for production. It’s a lot of changes, but it really should have gone smoother. We have a test team that that tests it early before the main test team hits it, and they missed several obvious items. My dev team missed them too, and the […]

We put all the decorations on the tree, and it looks great. This being the largest tree we’ve ever had, I’m surprised we had enough. Even managed to get a little bit of Christmas shopping in this evening. So, all in all I feel like we’re catching up on the ol’ Christmas to do list. […]

Not much happening lately. Been very busy at work. We’re in a conference room nailing out a key piece of code and I just haven’t had a minute to post. I dragged out the Christmas decorations last night, I guess it’s finally that time of year! We found a tree farm that has larger trees […]
