So I’ve been exercising pretty consistently since I returned from Japan almost 2 months ago. I passed my first 6 week series last week, and I’m getting decent results. I still need to burn a bunch of pounds via cardio, but the muscle toning/building part of the workout is going as good as I expected [...]
Thursday 8 February 2007.
Today was a pretty good day. I’m fully adjusted to the time zone now – it took about 2 full days to get on track.
Work went well and one of our client’s employees invited us to go to lunch at the Guinness Storehouse Restaurant. This was a nice treat.
It [...]

So, I woke up at 7:15 this morning, 10 hours after going to bed and I could have still slept another 2 or 3 hours. Oh well. I had to get up to go to the client site. Myself, Jeff, Chris and Julio and one more engineer, Allan, will be consulting [...]
Monday 5 February (Atlanta) to Tuesday 6 February (Dublin) 2007.
I’ve recently flown out to Dublin, Ireland on a 6 week consulting engagement. And since I’ve never been to Ireland and would like to recall the trip later on, I think a daily blog entry or two would help me do that.
Let me first [...]
UPDATE: This Java class was updated on February 1st, 2008 to account for domain literals and quoted strings such as “John Smith” <john.smith@somewhere.com>. It is now effectively the only complete and semantically correct email validator for Java.

In my opinion, scientific measurements should be represented via unmovable, logical, and absolutely atomic units that would be the same at all locations in the universe (at least given our current understanding of the universe).
I think its absolutely ludicrous that the most advanced scientific experiments and quantum theory today have data sets that are [...]
Ok, I had a hell of a time trying to get this figured out. It seems like my Ingres 2006 install environment did not match the documentation on the ingres website, which looks to be docos for the older r3 product. This seriously sucked. C’mon guys – get the docos right.
Anway, here’s what I [...]
I’m so amazingly fortunate that I’ve had the opportunity to travel out of this country a few times. To experience other cultures first hand is just a great life experience, and I can say that it definitely changed my life. I’m far more interested in international affairs and cultures than I would ever be if [...]
I think this is absolutely freaking hilarious. A friend pointed me to a traceroute to the PirateBay.org – which shows an awesome host name for their domain. I’ve included the traceroute below for your viewing pleasure. But if you need a little background first:
For those of you who don’t know, the PirateBay.org makes .torrent [...]
Ok, I suck.
I knew I would go for a period of time when I didn’t post anything on this blog. Sometimes I get really bad about those things. Its been 2 months for God’s sake! No excuse…
Oh well, I’m back, and I’ll be posting shortly. For the 1 or 2 people who actually [...]
