Now to crunch the numbers for 2009…
Commute:

2009 By The Numbers
Happy Festivus
As everyone knows, today is Fetivus. So happy Festivus.
For those who need some background, they can read my previous post from 2006.
Hopefully we can get bug 394616 fixed so Firefox doesn’t mark Festivus as a misspelled word. It’s getting annoying (I know I can add the word, but I periodically clean things up [...]
Catching Up
5 business days off (plus almost 2 weekends surrounding it) results in well over 1,000 emails (after sorting spam) and a few thousand items in my RSS reader.
3 power hours of working at it, and I’m down to < 250 email and only about 1,500 items in my RSS reader. Should be able to [...]
5 Years
Despite this year actually knowing it was coming, it still sounds strange that I’ve had this site up and running for 5 years now. That’s a half decade. In all honesty when I started I didn’t expect it to last too long. I’ve had the domain for nearly 10 years.
From Then To [...]
The Sound… Of Silence
I’m semi-quiet lately. A cold last week kicked my butt for pretty much the entire week. That’s always fun.
I’m also working on some changes to this blog. It’s been a long time since that’s happened. Hopefully I’ll have it out of dev and running by the end of the month. [...]
Broken
That sprained wrist… turns out it’s broken. So now (again) 100% one handed typing for the moment.
Speaking of broken… Bug 389131 could use a hand (pun intended). Same for 389128. Anyone want to assist? Both have patches, may need tweaks/cleanup still. I just can’t manage extra coding until I [...]
The Silence
It’s a bit quiet around here for the past week because I sprained my wrist pretty bad. As a result I have been avoiding typing more than I already do at work. I am slowly resuming and getting back to normal as it allows. Been down this road before. Not as [...]
St. Maarten Airport Fun
A week ago I came back from St. Maarten, an island known for it’s weather and beaches. There are a few ways to tell a good beach from a great one:
Clean beaches.
Evidence that topless tanning is allowed.
Signs like the one to the left warning you of death by heavy metal.
A beach with an active [...]
Back
I was away last week… 3700+ emails (thankfully mostly spam) to process.
Have some video and photo goodness to get up here at some point, but that won’t happen until this weekend at the earliest since I’ve got some catching up to do. I suspect I won’t be blogging much this week as I do [...]
Wet
Damn you wet weather. Closing roads and making things a mess. 8 inches of rain in Central Park. The irony will be drought restrictions being posted later this summer.
