Back online in time for the holiday season, I guess.
I guess I should wish everybody out there a happy Thanksgiving that celebrates it.
I haven't been around much lately, certainly not as much as I would like to be. Things have been difficult lately, to say the least.
Around this time of year things go completely berserk at my dayjob. For a while I was pulling 14 hour days, capped off with feverishly working three days straight on one of the biggest projects of my career, which not only wound up going off without more than the expected number of hitches but has garnered quite a few kudos from …

Still here. Just offline.
I'm still here - haven't forgotten this blog. In the rush to get a bunch of stuff done at work with some alacrity, I seem to have run myself into the ground. More specifically, I seem to be an alpha tester for this year's version of the flu and I've spent the past couple of days sweating, throwing up, and sleeping. There was also a late-night trip to the ER somewhere in there. Oh, and let's not forget the lucid fever dreams - they're quite entertaining when you have control over them. Somewhere in the Dreaming I made the aquaintenance of a …

Don't worry, I'm still alive.
A friendly heads-up for my regular readers - I'm still alive and kicking. Not necessarily doing well, mind you - I've been sick twice in the last month (sick enough that I didn't have it in me to write anything, let alone study or do more than scan my e-mail for anything important happening and then go right back to bed), and I've been undergoing some fairly painful dental procedures at least once a month for the past few months, which takes a lot out of me. Additionally, I'm still studying for a couple of certifications for work, which is basically about …

Here we go again, chapter 2.
This is a follow-up to the tale of woe that is my last trip to the dentist after a diagnosis of an abscessed molar on the bottom left. I kept the following bits under wraps mostly for the past week or so, save to a small number of people, and then I'll wrap things up with the events of today. To save your stomachs and appetites, the rest of the this post is under the cut. If you read the known side effects of the antibiotic clindamycin carefully you will note the following: Chills, confusion, diarrhea with blood in it …

Here we go again.
For reasons I'll go into in a bit, this post didn't start off auspiciously. Just as I was about to put fingers to keyboard extenuating circumstances prevented the composition of text...
Long time readers of this blog are no doubt aware of two things: That I haven't posted much here in past weeks and my long and sordid history of dental problems. As it turns out, the two things are more related than it would otherwise seem.
I haven't had it in me for the past few weeks to sit down and write anything substantial, the queue of notes on …

Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
On the road for work seems to have laid me low.
Sick. Dealing with stuff at home that requires contractors.
Too many essays to write here, not enough time to write them. Maybe I should start jotting notes in between studying and sleeping.Read more...

It's three days until Christmas.
My shopping isn't done yet. I have the first cold of the year, which is manifesting as a near-constant sneezing fit and feels like I've been awake for four days straight (when, in point of fact, I've been sleeping 10-14 hours a day).

I can't think of a suitably funny or ironic title for this post.
I've been struggling to come up with a suitable title for this post but I gave up on the effort in favor of writing about what's actually been going on in my life lately. First, the good stuff, and then I'll follow up with everything else.
Last month we launched the new Project Byzantium website. It took us a while to get it together - we tried a couple of CMSes before we found one which struck a good balance between ease of use, usability, and plain old "it does what we need." I wish that it had been a smoother …Read more...

Quickie: not a real post.
Still alive.
Very busy at work and at home.
Just getting over being sick, but unfortunately Lyssa's caught it and is fighting it off.
Behind on, well, everything, from watching Sir Derek Jacobi reading parts of Shakespeare's The Tempest with operatic interludes sung by a countertenor to going camping with some close friends.
Was shocked and amazed by Snoop Dogg doing filk last night.
Silliness and madness abound in equal proportion.
Oh, and I have a backlog of pictures to post and things to write about. I'm going to try to clear half of those things this week, if I …Read more...
