Mondays on Tuesdays

July 15, 2008, 5:00 pm

Today really felt like Monday. Oh well. Anyway, during the lunch break I spotted a pretty cool video from Radiohead I thought I'd share. You can view it by clicking here... or you can click this really long link if your into clicking longer links and stuff.

Also I really need to code up something to interface with the tumblr API because importing my blog posts by RSS is just lazy on my part.

Those That Shall Not Be Named

So just as I was going to surprise Roche with the fact that I'd grabbed the domain name thosethatshallnotbenamed.com I found out that corporate was censoring us from ever again discussing those glorious specimens of the road. Thanks Clear Channel.

It is a complete outrage... but are so are lots of things which are far worse. Anyway, we may not be able to mention them on dc101.com or on-air but that doesn't stop this post from becoming a tribute. "Those That Shall Not Be Named" you will always remain in our hearts, our minds and our internet browsers.

Yeah, Yeah

Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been working on a new site. This one is going to take a bit longer than my usual projects. I'm building everything from scratch from the login system to user authentication.

Once it is up and running and it has passed some minor bug testing as well as XSS and other vunerability tests I'll let you all have a crack at it!

Friday!

Wait. It is Thursday... (it feels like Friday) but as you all know it is the 4th.. wait I mean the 3rd. Tomorrow is the 4th and that means we all get to light off fireworks, eat lots of food and pay respects to the good ol' US of A. Happy 4th!

Got a sweet new place outside of D.C. in Crystal City recently. I can't move in just yet... it'll be a few weeks but I can't wait. No more 2 1/2 hour commutes as I'll be able to hop on the Metro and take it right to work. Well almost. I still have to walk from the Metro to the office... but you know what I meant. Right?

So this post is to partially test audio and also a little plug...

So this post is to partially test audio and also a little plug for a new Podcast I've been working on with Travis Bagwell. If you like the audio you just heard make sure you check it out!

I've just switched the FeedBurner feed to point to the new XML file where my posts will be coming from. What does this mean for you? Nothing. But I thought I'd let you all know.

You can still expect technology laden posts, code snippets and random insights. Thanks for sticking with me!

Almost Done!

The new site is almost done. Few minor additions and it'll be good to go.

So I got a free pair of tickets from work to see DMB at Nissan Pavilion. Pretty excited. This will be my first time seeing them live! Now all I have to do is decide who to take.

Zektek is back!

I took the site down for awhile. Why? I didn't feel like managing it... but it is back! This time Zektek is powered by tumblr. Which means I don't have to worry about managing a CMS or dealing with patch after patch with popular blogging platforms like WordPress.
