For those of you not familiar with my resume, let me sum it up for you: I've been designing, developing, deploying and supporting software for 13 years. I've seen my fair share of failures but on the flip side, I've also seen more than my fair share of

| Code Monkey Mid-Life Crisis | 2023/3/12 2:42 PM |
Compared to most coders I work with, I've been coding a long time. Specifically since my father and uncle gifted me and my siblings an Apple II in 1985 when I was six years old. We also received a book called "Computer Fun" which attempted to

| Dead but not dying, Gone but not leaving. | 2006/9/23 1:36 AM |
That title pretty much sums up the state of my website, does it not? I still keep an eye on it and obviously I have secured some form of hosting for it since moving into my first home, though I have yet to actually do anything with it. I guess it takes

Subject: In regards to your "Computer Hacking" story
To whom it does concern,
To start I would like to say: I've been a fan of PBS for years and for the most part I appreciate the dedication and the impartiality of the PBS News Hour staff. In

| Developer Brethren, its Time to Embrace Boring! | 2023/6/22 4:18 PM |
So this morning I was listening to one of the Linux related podcasts, Coder Radio and the hosts read feedback from a listener who claimed that he was "bored" with PHP and ready to try something else. Now to be fair, in this particular case, the

| Developing Custom Software is Probably a Bad Idea | 2023/6/28 5:39 AM |
This post is the culmination of years of accumulated professional frustration. It will not be well received by some. That's okay. If you make it to the 25 year point of your dev career and you spent most of that time writing custom software for clients

| Development Teams: Help or Hindrance? | 2018/6/22 4:05 PM |
This week I've decided to tackle a topic which has been in the back burner of my mind for awhile: Whether or not development teams are a help or a hindrance. Why now? I was asked some questions which revolved around this as part of a job interview I had

| Ding Dong: The Internet is Dead | 2020/6/24 7:53 PM |
In today's world with everything either burning or smoldering, it can be distressing to wake up each day and face the latest developments. Everything that is happening now is happening because, like the Empires of yesteryear, systems rise and they fall.

| Dual Xeon Goodness | 2003/2/18 11:08 AM |
Well after months of planning and years of dreaming it has finally happened... I have built the dream machine. It cost $3000+ dollars but it is finally here. Yes it is an SMP box and as you may have guessed based on the title - it uses Xeon processors.

| Dumb Homes For the Win | 2018/6/2 4:01 PM |
This morning a young man knocked on my door with the goal of selling me on a Vivint Smart Home System. Needless to say that if you know me at all, you know I put the kibosh on that in a hurry. My opposition to this idea springs from more than my fear of

| Echo Chamber Exodus: Bye Bye Bluesky | 2023/7/23 4:32 PM |
As regular readers know, I have long questioned the value of social media and I have struggled with the question of how involved I should be with it. This morning I decided to quit Bluesky permanently because the bulk of the community there seems hellben

Alright - I've finally begun to undertake the "enormous" task of changing my email address from darkgamorck@home.com to jaylittle@jaylittle.com

| Ethical Quandary: Is it ever responsible to irresponsibly disclose? | 2018/2/8 12:35 AM |
Today's post is going to examine an ethical grey area that I currently find to be very relevant. Is it ever okay to ignore responsible disclosure standards for security related issues? Spoiler alert: I'm going to argue that there are cases in which ignor

Yesterday at work I was finishing off an extremely productive week. After spending the previous week on a spike, everything was really starting to come together for the feature I'm building. It was a good day. But then during a team demo somebody made

| Feline Diabetes for one please. Ching! Ching! | 2003/6/26 7:19 AM |

| Fun, Franchises and ReMastered Classic Games | 2021/10/6 2:35 PM |
So long time readers will remember that about four years back, I posted a diatribe entitled "Repeat after me: Games are supposed to be fun" that basically railed against the realization that a lot of the new games floating around weren't actuall

| Gaming | 2008/1/6 9:15 PM |
So of course I'm still gaming. Pretty decently too. Over the last year I managed to snag a Wii. The Wii is a pretty cool piece of equipment. However my mainline gaming interest has stayed with RPG gaming. Over the course of the last year I've played

| GE and Pentium 4s | 2001/10/5 1:17 AM |
Yeppo - everything with GE worked out fine. My contract has been renewed (with the other Agency) and things are looking good in that respect.
