Unusual day at work today. It was one person’s last day, and two others are revealed to be leaving by the end of the month. It’s weird to see people leave who have been with the company longer than I have. It’ll change the work dynamic, definitely, but the upside is, I get a bigger… Continue reading Transitions

Sugar High Friday
Sugar High Friday was an event that I single-handedly started when I was working for Dakotah Direct in Spokane, Washington. Here’s the gist of it (hearts and arteries, beware): Some arbitrary Friday, maybe one Friday a month, there is a suggestion and a mutual consensus to have the Event. There is no overt advertising, simply… Continue reading Sugar High Friday
From the Trenches
My day at work was certainly a tech support nightmare. Get this: as soon as I walk in, I’m told the server is down. Thinking (hoping) they meant the connection to the internet is down, I clarified the issue. Nope. The server. Damn. This is the main file/print server that everyone in the office uses… Continue reading From the Trenches
I’m Back!
This past month since I last posted has been a very transitional one. I quit my job with Alpine, and I’m taking on a new one in September. I’ve got slightly less than three weeks off as of now. Of course, that means I’ve had to change servers; I no longer have the convenient access… Continue reading I’m Back!
Fine Grind
Still around. Had a nice, four-day holiday weekend, and now I really don’t want to go back to work Monday morning. It’s odd; I love working with the Internet, and developing in PHP, and the cool technologies, and being hands-on in all aspects of a web site from domain name registration and server management to… Continue reading Fine Grind
Friday
Ah, Friday. A fine end to a skewed week. We finally got a decent connection to the Internet at work, after three weeks in the new office in Bend. The DSL connection provided by Oregon Trail Internet just didn’t work out— the connection kept getting dropped, and when it was active, bandwidth would fluctuate wildly.… Continue reading Friday
New Office!
We’ve been spending the last week or so at work packing up the old office in Sisters (Oregon) and moving into Bend, so things have been thrown into chaotic disarray while we unpack, build out, and get used to our new office space. My commute has been cut from 25 miles (one way) to 5… Continue reading New Office!
Nuts
It’s been one of those days at work which is just driving me nuts because pretty much all I’m doing is fixing old problems rather than getting current and new things done. No progress has been made. It’s those mindless, repetitive things that you have to do over and over again to fix them, and… Continue reading Nuts
