Pics
Well later tonight I probably will be posting pictures of my trip to Findlay OH. I did not take as many pictures as I though I would, but I did take a few. It is a beautiful place. I would like to head up there some time again (soon)
Hotels and Travel
OK so I get up to the hotel, and they can not find my reservation!! So I give the guy at the check in place (mind you they do not have a check in desk, but a drive up window) The conformation number with that he is able to find the reservation. Apparently the computer[…]
Sweet
I just got word from my contact in Aptima that she feels that they are set with the demo. OK now I just have to worry about how the demo goes, I am not going to have to put any all nighters for this demo. So I am going to have less stress about it[…]
Demos
Well there is apparently another demo of Vista coming up on the 5th of next month, and Aptima NEEDS a stable version by this Friday. I just hate demos, but OK. I am doing a bunch of bug tracking and making sure things are right and the way they should be, I am still working[…]
Credit cards, ug
Ok so apparently discover card does not think one should be able to use their card after 10 at night. Last night I made some purchases on my discover card after 10. I am gearing up for my trip; I had to get some stuff, the basic for a road trip like an atlas. So[…]
Songs, ham radio, and other stuff
So I will be going for a 4 to 5 hour drive this Friday (and again the return trip on Sunday) and now I just have to build a good music list from my iTunes collection. I should be able to make some list that is long enough to get thought the whole trip, (the[…]
No Biking Today
It rained all day today, and I did not get to go biking I was going to go biking with my pastor, but the rain ruined the plans, oh well “the best laid plans of mice and men.” We are hoping for maybe tomorrow after church.
Trish
Well I been talking with Trish a lot lately and I am thinking this Friday I might after work drive out to Ohio to finally meet her in person and spend the weekend in Findlay. She had said that there is also a festival going on this coming weekend. So well there will be things[…]
No Biking tonight
I did not get to do much biking tonight, I did not see the broken glass on the path, well I hit it and my back tire went out, so I walked back to get my car put the bike on the bike rack and went down to the bike shop to get a new[…]
Biking for the weekend
So now I am off work for the weekend, and it is the first weekend after a demo. I will be doing some major biking this weekend. I should be heading out soon, as soon as the last of my biking pictures are uploaded to the server, so I can add them to the photo[…]
The net now and days
It is nice now that one can get all kinds of PHP programs for ones site, and all one has to worry about is providing content. I have just added a photo section to my web site (www.mikeoconnor.net/Photos) and I don’t have to worry about how to get the format now, all I have to[…]
Day after the Demo
Ok so this is the day after the demo, I am still wanting to hear from my boss who it went. I destroyed my sleep schedule during the demo, but I have put it back on track, I am surprised I did it in one night, I sleep straight though the night, and still got[…]
Not really a blog but.
While surfing around today I found this http://www.georgewbush.com/blog/ , OK. It is just a press release forum, not really a blog, but still a good read.
Random stuff
Ok, so now I am at the office, going to go get some food with a friend (yes at 1:05 am in the morning) but my boss has to demo the program I am working on tomorrow. So I have a list of stuff she wants done, but I have mailed her with some questions[…]
Java How I hate it
Well the demo for vista is tomorrow, and there was a feature my boss asked to be put in, so I spend a few hours working in java to get it done. It now works. But since it was java, it took me longer then if it was C++ or C for me to work[…]
