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.

I'm outta here!

VacationI leave for the airport in less than 5 hours. First I'm off to New York for my Grandpa Joe's funeral, then I fly back to Denver on Sunday and hop on a plane on Monday for vacation in Florida. I'm kindof disappointed my laptop didn't make it back from Apple in time for this trip, but it's probably a blessing more than anything.

Not having a laptop, my productivity addiction will go unsatisfied (but my stress level will subside) and I'll likely feel out of touch with Java and technology when I return. However, I hope that I turn into my old self on this trip - whom I affectionately refer to as Montana Matt. An easy-going, low-stress guy who doesn't care about much outside of family, friends and having a good time. I'd like to smile a lot, quite worrying about work, and forget about all the open source projects that need releases. I plan on laughing a lot, sleeping in every day, and tipping back a few pints with family and friends. I probably won't be reading any blogs, but I do plan on doing a little mophoto-ing.

See you in a couple of weeks - normal operations will likely resume around the end of the month.

Open Source Testing

We all know how much open source Java tools have helped us - how about open source testing tools? Opensourcetesting.org looks to be a great site for saving some cizash for your QA department (or for you when you're wearing that hat).

Opensourcetesting.org aims to boost the profile of open-source testing tools within the testing industry and give you easy access to open source testing tools from one central location. As you'll see from the tools on offer, there are some very usable, sophisticated and stable open source testing tools out there.

[Montana] Great Photo

One of my favorite digital photographs

This picture was taken in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana on August 6, 2000 by a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks, Alaska by the name of John McColgan with a digital camera. Since he was working while he took the picture, he cannot sell or profit from it so he should at least be recognized as the photographer of this once in a lifetime shot.
