		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just had a sudden realization. All those years in school looking at the other students thinking why can&#8217;t they be smarter and just get the math, science, or whatever &#8211; I was wrong. They weren&#8217;t the slow ones because they were learning exactly the lesson the curriculum was designed to teach them. I was [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m declaring my storage problems to be resolved. Though I&#8217;m sure this will come up again. I have to believe at this point I will not encounter the issue for several more years. I now have about 5 TB of free storage across several systems, with another 1.5 TB drive ready to act as either [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The introduction of catalogs of patterns has been a great advancement to software engineering. These collections of common solutions to common design problems are an excellent way to pass knowledge of the software engineering craft from one practitioner to another. I am happy to have several great texts from this category taking up valuable shelf [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few of my favorite software engineering related books I&#8217;ve read in the last year. To make this list the book had to be something I read in 2009, and it had to be interesting, useful, or just plain insanely great at totally changing my perspective on something.

Most of these tools have been around for a while, and I didn&#8217;t necessarily just start using them this year. These are all things I just found to be very useful throughout the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Seth Godin wrote this ingenious analysis of market changes titled &#8220;It&#8217;s not the rats you need to worry about&#8220;. It got me to thinking about how I prefer CDs over downloaded music. Primarily I have this preference based on the quality of the content. I&#8217;d prefer not to have more physical media taking up space [...]

We were informed that there is no budget for conferences this year so SOL on the professional development plans. There was also an open question about if we [...]

I&#8217;m not sure exactly what happened since my typical method of carrying out updates is to click whatever needs clicked then move back to working on whatever other system is available. I do know that I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I managed to resolve my television issue. After a little search last Sunday my wife and I both preferred the look of plasma. I was a little concerned about burn-in but apparently technology has progressed to the point of this being a non-issue, or at least it&#8217;s about the same as old style televisions (see [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve adopted a solution to my storage problems. Basically, I&#8217;ve decided on the Drobo solution. If you recall from last time, I was leaning heavily toward an OpenSolaris solution using ZFS. I still think ZFS is ultimately the way to go because it&#8217;s cool software design, but I&#8217;m not convinced of running an entire system [...]
