An exhaustive search is currently underway to find a more beautiful baby girl, but nothing is turning up. http://www.mando.org/archives/2006/01/04/welcome-to-earth-maia/ It’s been a while since I’ve been up this late hacking for fun. I’ve done it for pay, but not just “for fun”. Granted, I’m one of the fortunate few that loves what he does, so even when it’s not “fun”, it’s still fun. I probably should have apologized ... http://www.mando.org/archives/2005/02/18/stop-hackertime/ I swear, this shouldn’t be this hard. We need a very simple project management tool for keeping track of our team’s resources. That’s it. Here’s the XP story for what I’d like to do with it: I’d like to log in to the web app and, at a glance, ... http://www.mando.org/archives/2005/02/17/project-management/ Testing some syntax hilighting: Edit: Yeah, so that didn’t work out so well.

I didn’t know what he used to ... http://www.mando.org/archives/2005/02/04/testing/ Seriously, tho. I just stumbled across ExtremePerl.org, a book about Extreme Programming and Perl. I’m not saying I’m drinking the XP kool-aid or anything, but there are a lot of really good ideas in the XP ideology, and you’d be remiss to dismiss them outright. Of course, this only ... http://www.mando.org/archives/2005/02/03/perl-2-the-xtreme/ We have a programming position open for the right person. Requirements: Must know Perl and in particular, OO Perl. You should know how to create a Perl module and use it in a non-sucky way. I don’t mean that you need to be able to map-grep-sort your way through solutions ... http://www.mando.org/archives/2005/01/18/were-hiring/ Here’s Aiden getting ready for his Aunt Cindy’s wedding: http://www.mando.org/archives/2005/01/07/more-pictures/ Grace and mercy in picture format.
