Gladinet and Google Docs for offsite backup (2 months out)

For the past 6 months, I’ve been researching secure storage options. My first thoughts turned to a NAS device. However, adding one of those puppies meant that I’d need to manage it. Extra bonus, if something happened to my house (theft, power spike, fire, flood, famine, stay puff marshmellow man attacks, etc) I’d most likely [...]

Happy Baby

My son loves to smile. Earlier today we were explaining how much we love him (this much) and as you can see – he really enjoyed it. Sometimes, all you need is a smile from a wee one to be truly happy

Goodbye Professor

I found out today, 4 years after the fact, that my master’s adviser, Prof. Schmoltze, died. I can’t even begin to fathom this. He wasn’t old by any stretch, and his spirit was, well, younger than mine. In fact, I don’t think I would have completed my grad work without him. Prof Schmoltze was always [...]

Another Baby Photo

We were in CT and our friends have a lovely daughter. I have 2 more photo shoots to work on and some more thoughts on CMMI and Agile to get together. I must admit, I’ve spent these past few days, between jobs, enjoying the outdoors. Now that this is coming to a close, I’ll be [...]

Another photo of Kai

Why yes, I’ve been wrapping up one job and preparing to move to another – and that is why I haven’t had time to make many substantial posts of late. However, I’m hoping some photos help make my limited management/engineering blogging a little easier.

Kai on a Swing

My son is a great model, I’m going to try to post a few more photos of him here as time goes by. I can almost hear him say: Mother, you shall regret putting me into this infernal contraption. Oh yes, you will pay …

Bellydancer gallery now up

I finally filled out all the side galleries. I’ll be adding some older work as time goes by (and some newer work too!). For now, if you like bellydancing, or bellydancers – you should click on the gallery. Or the image below.

A few more gallery updates

The weather here in Boston has been lovely. The nights have been peaceful and it seems it was time to further get the photo gallery links up and running again! There are 3 new galleries on line, none of which is complete. More will be added as time moves along. For now, Travel, People and [...]

Added Events and Circuses page

Finally getting around to uploading images into the new format. Page two, is up! Click on the events page to see.

Ecosystem Architect: What is it and why do you care?

Architecting software applications or, these days, software ecosystems, is reminding me more and more of traditional building architecture  and, especially, urban planning. I shouldn’t be surprised since the notion of a software design pattern was lifted from Christopher Alexander (if you haven’t read his trilogy on design, you should. It’s quite an informative read). But [...]
