Two extremes of blogging

Uncategorized / Oscar M. / August 12, 2008

I find the time to write about the econmics behind my thrilling ISP/TV swtich and Patty writes a touching post about what it was like to meet Nicholas. Can you guess which one of us was described as emotional as a robot in college? Shouldn’t be too hard a task. Patty, your post deserves a

Maybe a merger would do them some good…

Uncategorized / Oscar M. / August 8, 2008

I was a big fan of Satellite TV going back to grad school. Back then, you could get a decent channel package for around $30/month, easily beating the price of cable.

Though of the day: email spam filters

Uncategorized / Oscar M. / August 4, 2008

Dear Mail Server Admins, I hardly ever check the spam folder you gave me, what makes you think I’m going to read a daily quarantine message for false positives?  E-mail is broken, but I don’t know of any way to really fix it. Thank You.

I didn’t miss the boat on Dr. Horrible, I just haven’t gotten around to blogging about it. If you missed it when it was free, you can get all 3 episodes on iTunes for just 4 dollars. You can’t beat that deal for your entertainment dollar. I highly recommend it, if you like any combination

Finding some late night coding time.

Programming / Oscar M. / July 25, 2008

Nicholas has started sleeping through the night, as of last week, and while it hasn’t been every single night yet, its happened more often than not. I’m glad for Staci, since she’s not a night owl like me, staying up past 10 or 10:30 was harder on her. This also means I’ve found some time
