MuddyHorse Farm & Tech

I was humbled this past week.  I went to an interview at a game company.  But I didn’t have my most valuable asset.

Of course, the $170/month internet doesn’t work. Turns out, Verizon claimed near 100% V-Cast (EVDO Rev.A) coverage of Sainte Genevieve county. They’re lying. While we were able to get a signal, we could never acquire a digital signal.

I just imported a bunch of my posts from theconans.com so as to preserve them here.  Some of them are nice, like favorite sci-fi books.  Scroll back a bit and check it out.

I’m so excited. UPS says my Internet will arrive in a truck on Monday. It’s already at Nashville!

My daughter asked me last night:
Daddy, what if the whole world was clay except for chain saws?

I finally got the bulk of our photos tagged and uploaded to Muddyhorse Photos.  Enjoy!  Note:  the tag plugin for Gallery is a bit rough, but that’s what we have for now.

Overall, a pretty good conference.  Here’s a quick summary of Dr. Dobbs Architecture & Design World 2008.

I plan on doing a write-up of the major points about the conference.  Here are some upcoming topics:

The conference as a whole, with travel and accommodations.
UI Design
Professional Development Practices

On the whole, it was a good experience.  I’d love to have as good a time at the next conference.

I took my first two bus rides today after class.  Aside from inserting my pass right, and figuring out how to get off the bus, it wasn’t too bad.  We went to Chinatown, and ate at Saint’s Alp Tea House, as recommended by dear friend Anna.  Very Tasty!

We made it safely to Chicago today.  We’re up on the 29th floor!  Pretty nice.  Thanks to Jim, Stacy, and everyone else who helped in the process of making Pat survive the big city!  By the way, no internet access in room?  What is that about?
