10+ YEARS
Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

So much for zoom
My laptop is out of town, so I figured this would be a good time to send my phone (T68i) off and get the firmware updated. The reason I wanted
the update was to get a zoom feature on my Communicam. I documented the painful process a while back, and have been
putting it off ever since.
I called up tech support to make the request - and was disappointed to find out that they don't do requests, only repairs. This means no zoom for me, unless something actually breaks on the phone and I really need something to be fixed. The internet and information flow being the way it is though, I'm willing to bet that the firmware upgrade is out there (and downloadable), now I just need to find it!
Pssssstttt - have a hard time reading this site? Here's some homegrown zoom for ya.
The Galapagos Islands
A Fraternity brother and good friend of mine is sailing the south seas with his family right now. Today, he sent some pictures of the their stop in the Galapagos Islands. These pictures are awesome - made me sad to be at work today - and I thought I'd share the love...

I was able to quickly (think batch mode) resize these images using the image resizer I found at www.imageresizer.com.
Tivo and a DVD Burner?
Like James, there's probably a Tivo Series 2 in my future. However, we've also looked at buying a DVD Recorder. So my question is: Is there a DVD Recorder that is Tivo-enabled? It'd be awesome if there were - two birds with one stone.
What do you want to be doing a year from today?
One year from today (April 25th, 2004), what do you want to be doing. I don't care if it's career or life related, I'm just curious. Why? Because I think it's important to set goals and realize what you were thinking last year. So here's mine:
- I'd like to teach at least one technical training course in a classroom environment. I loved doing this for Sun.
- I'd like to get my Java 1.4 Certification and possibly one more, don't know which one yet, something that'll inspire and challenge me to learn something new.
- Be a good husband for my (possibly) pregnant wife.
- Spending LOTS of time with Abbie and Julie - hopefully only working 40 hours/week at a higher paying job.
- Attempt to figure out what I want to do for the next 5 years. Do I really want to be a code monkey for the rest of my life - or get into management?
- Read Abbie at least one book from the Chronicles of Narnia.
- Sell our house and move into a new one in either Colorado, Florida or California (in order of personal preference). Julie's preference is Florida, Colorado or California (her sister lives in San Diego).
Matrix on IMAX
This is huge (via Erik)! The second Matrix movie sequel is to open on giant Imax film screens in the US at the same time as standard cinemas. Fricken SWEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!! I'm so pumped to see this movie - and now it's going to be shown on IMAX?!! Man that's cool! I'm going to have to motivate a skip work day so a bunch of us can get together and see it when no else is there.
Snow in Denver
Glad I'm not riding to work today!
Later: Yeah - that's snow! We only got a little bit in Denver last night, but Loveland Ski Area got 25 inches in the last 24 hours! Wow!! Oh yeah, that's my wireless internet antenna on our roof.
Wanna hear about the stupid move I did yesterday? Sure you do ... come on... OK, so I signed up (and paid) for the Rocky Mountain Software Symposium next month. Julie has been planning a trip to Florida in May for the past few weeks. She bought her plane ticket a couple weeks ago, but never bought mine because our internet service stopped working in the middle of her 2nd transaction. So she waited until yesterday, found a good price, and called me to ask if she could buy my tickets. She bought them, I approved it at work, and all is peachy keen. Right? Wrong - I received an e-mail from from Jay Zimmerman last night (via a mailing list I'm subscribed to), and doh! - Julie bought tickets leaving the Thursday before the conference. So I had to call and change my flight and pay the $100 change fee. Damn - hope the conference is worth it - there goes my early bird discount rate!
