All’s Quiet

September 12, 2008 in Daily Life | 2 comments

I’ve been a little quiet on the blog front for the last month or so, mainly because I’ve been pouring most of my waking hours on a system that is scheduled to see the light of day next month. It’s sort of a “showcase/teaching” piece, which is why I’ve been cramming tons of technology bits into what is, frankly, a really simple system. It’s simplicity is intentional, and deceptively so.

I had lots of fun working with .Net, AJAX, JQuery, Subversion, Trac, etc. Loads and loads of frustrating fun… all for the sake of saying, “This is so cool.”

The first build is just out the door for testing and I’m already scheming of a way to incorporate another cool bit of tech. This is so cool.

No, I wasn’t born shooting perfect code from my finger tips. It does get a little better after Year Seven though…

It Ain’t Summer

Summer Flip-Flops

… until the flip-flops come out to play. I’m even thinking about making ice-cream just because it’s summer and there’s nothing like digging into a bowl of ice-cream on a hot afternoon. Hmm…

Even with a little over 4 months left for me here in Bhutan, this is my fourth season here since arriving at the tail-end of Autumn last year. To sum up the four seasons:

Autumn - Pretty blue skies!
Winter - Snow!
Spring - … When?
Summer - Re-introduced toes to sun. And rain.
