It’s that special day that only comes around once a year.
Wishing you all a merry Festivus, this holiday season.
There are a lot of applications that I really love — I can’t live without them and they make my life so much more enjoyable. One of these is Beyond Compare from Scooter Software. It was recommended to me by a colleague whom I deeply respect, and life hasn’t been the same since the day [...]
ViewCVS, a web application for browsing CVS and Subversion source code control repositories, has become ViewVC — the name change VC = Version Control is fitting, since ViewCVS (the beta version, at least) has supported Subversion for quite a while.

I found a cool article called Enterprise blogs: Business boost or timewaster? that takes a look at the present and future of blogging in the workplace (there’s really no past, since this is a very new phenomenon). It is interesting to think about the ideas presented in the article, with respect to the National Instruments [...]
Well, Saturday is the big day — I’m getting married to the best woman in the whole world, and I am very excited about it. All of our friends and family are coming into town which will be wonderful. And best of all, it will be the end of pre-wedding stress! Granted, I haven’t really [...]
