doink   (it's one of those things about nothing) homus || backlog || elsewhere || huh?   Tuesday, October 31, 2000 as my job is now focused on developing open source software, many of the blurbs i post here will be related to that arena. with that in mind, here we go: a great article explaining that open source development projects still need management, requirements, design, and all that other un-fun stuff. many in the open source community try to argue against these items. they're essential on projects of any size (lines of code or team size). (9:51:46 AM) Monday, October 30, 2000 bah humbug to halloween. no costumes for me, thanks. (10:31:35 PM) Thursday, October 26, 2000 power outage at the office this morning. i guess there was a big underground explosion. unfortunately, the only report i can find doesn't have any pictures. (1:15:00 PM) Wednesday, October 25, 2000 ivan and i decided at the last minute to pick up some overpriced tickets to see pearl jam tonight at the greek. glad we did. it was a cool show. gotta love the big band/small venue thing. tough to top the show i saw in hawaii, though... (12:52:57 AM) Monday, October 23, 2000 been crazy busy the past few days as i've taken over product management responsibilities at work. it ain't easy being the hub of frantic activity. of course, i've known that for a long time; working the register at mcdonald's was never a picnic, either. (11:22:47 PM) apparently, the yankees got my message about the dogs. they didn't play the song once. i have a bad feeling that the courier might not have made it to the mets' organization in time. i guess we'll find out tomorrow... (11:20:57 PM) Monday, October 16, 2000 ok, i admit it! i let the goddamn dogs out. now can you please stop playing that song every 5 minutes at every sporting event? (9:53:07 PM) it was shopping spree weekend in my world. i finally got around to buying a dining table and chairs to fill the void that was my dining room. and in more exciting news, i bought a new cell phone. (2:10:02 PM) overheard on my clock radio alarm, at 7:14 am today: "I mean, how many people really get turned into brain-sucking zombies? It..." and then i hit the snooze bar. (2:05:52 PM) Tuesday, October 10, 2000 this chart makes me sad. i still hold all my options from my 2 years there. oops. (2:04:40 PM) Wednesday, October 04, 2000 pioneers take the arrows, settlers take the land. (9:40:21 PM) Tuesday, October 03, 2000 a splash of reality amidst the hype: vc money isn't for everybody.
