Strains & Pains
Jan 29th
Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups are proving to be a pain in the ass. Every time I try to put them into my daily routine, I only seem to injure my elbows. On the bright side, I dished out almost 35 sit-ups last night, and I pulled out another 30 this morning, 10 push-ups last night and 15 today. [...]
2010-01-27: Workout
Jan 28th
Exercise today didn’t go exactly as planned. I’m balking at the sprinting and I’m not exactly quite sure how to motivate myself. I had originally thought that game time should be considered, however, my gaming has been virtually eliminated and replaced by my tinkering with C++ coding. How exactly do I “moderate” this when it’s [...]
Life Rebooted
Jan 26th
May 18th, 2010 is the new date set for my ship out to Basic Combat Training. My contract has been renegotiated and I will be moving on to my chosen career path.

The Struggle Persists
Jan 18th

Jan 15th

It seems like yesterday I was dinking around with Windows 3.11 for Workgroups and coping with the headache that was the config.sys and autoexec.bat files that were necessary to load the correct drivers for the CD-Rom drive, [...]

Problem: After updating both the browser and the CMS software, it appears that adding a new post or editing an existing post causes the browser to reload. The result of this reload is a bar of web form buttons akin to those used when viewing [...]
The Start of a New Year
Jan 5th
It’s already day 5 of 2010. This weekend sort of blew past me and Monday continued to be intense with my continued conditioning, tae bo, and my weekly geeky ritual. So what’s now Tuesday has been spent vibrating at the speed of life … fueled by caffeine. About two weeks ago I stopped drinking soda and [...]
