Vibe – Side Angle Originally uploaded by ScaleOvenStove. Well, I traded in my Truck (99 Chevy Silverado) and picked up a 2006 Pontiac Vibe. It is very roomy and I really like it. 35 mpg doesnt hurt either. The one thing I wish it had though was a aux jack so I could hook up [...]

Well, now that I am semi-moved into Richmond, after a debacle of trying to move in during River Lakes days, since my house is like right on the parade route..but that is a different story…I stumbled up DigElogROCORI, a digital vlog of Rockville, Cold Spring, Richmond.

Agile 2006 – Google Night Originally uploaded by ScaleOvenStove. Glimpse of Google Night at Agile 2006. Google threw a huge bash, and all I got was a lousy tee shirt. But it was still cool. Thought maybe there would be more Google stuff, or a presentation, but they just put on the party.

I attended the Agile 2006 conference this year, and it was a good conference. Information overload, as usual. I still need to go through all my notes and powerpoint slides and make heads or tails of alot of things. Two of the most intriguing speakers were Scott Ambler who talked about Database Refactorying and Agile [...]

This is why I love computing, you learn something new all the time. WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line tool) is something I have never even heard of until yesterday. It always seems when I am looking for a solution I find something in the blogosphere around the same time, but this is crazy. With this [...]

Well, since I didnt want to page the IT Department, instead, I just wrote a program to handle my problem. Code around IT I always say. .NET 2.0, created a small program to watch keyboard strokes, and if NumLock is on, put a systray icon down there, lime green with a big N. Set it [...]
