Even on my own in the office above my garage I can decorate, right? ;) Published with BlogMailr

So, this weekend I did nothing of interest to geeks. No Community Server tag on this post. Instead, it was all about me and my garage. First, Tara and I sheetrocked the lower 4 feet of the walls (the hardest 4 feet of course with all the outlets in it).

New house, new routines. It's strange how blogging has suffered from me moving 3 weeks ago. I have 660 unread blog posts right now as I find that reading them has become a lower priority. As has writing them. I used to want to blog every day, but

My home office: Brad Feld 's home office: We both have 3 screens, but I think he might just have taken it up a notch. Brad also talks about taking his wife out for lunch once a month, and giving gifts. This time I win; Tara and I have recurring appointments

I played with Flickr a long time ago, but never really used it until last night/this morning. I've been doing another round of building/testing the Community Server MSI in the last 24 hours and building/uninstalling takes a while. I've been using those

Our house appraiser recommended I get in a roofing company to check the roof. In turn the roofing company recommended that I claim for wind/hail damage on my house insurance after finding some damage up there. So a roofing inspector turns up at my house

Some very interesting articles came onto my screen over the last few days: Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far For card-carrying Geeks only, this article is worth reading on two counts: 1. because Mark is damn impressive and 2. Sony

IPIX is really impressive. If you've ever spent 10 minutes looking at houses online you'll probably have seen one - they usually call them virtual tours, and they allow you to rotate around the room with your mouse. You can see our house using this technology

Hugh is always talking about global microbrands - so here's a new one for you. My House. It went on the market on Friday and within a few days was on the Coldwell Banker website - with a ridiculously long and horrible URL. So I bought www.255ChaffinRoad.com

Driveway, Painting, Carpets - sounds like a simple list of things that our realtor wants us to fix, doesn't it? It's simple from the point of view that for the most part we're just opening our check books and paying for the jobs to be done (although Tara

I'd like to see how people work. Individual offices with doors & windows? Cubicles? Work from home by the pool? I see Scott's got a new chair, but he hasn't blogged about it yet. *Poke* Here's my home office, with the three screens that I think everyone

Ok, so I'm back to blogging. Slight bump in the road successfully negotiated. One interesting thing to come out of it is that we're probably going to move house. Probably . We're in one of the most expensive parts of Atlanta; probably the most desirable

Snippet-of-the-day #2 I find this surprising. A huge 30 foot branch snapped on a tree in our yard a few weeks ago, but remained attached. I decided to pull it off using our Expedition , but I needed a seriously beefy towrope. So I went to Home Depot (spot

Talking of lawns yesterday and how much I loved our front yard, Seth talks about " the wasteful green expanse in front of your house ". Apparently we only have them to demonstrate wastefulness to our neighbors!

The perfect end to a perfect day. I built a new deck this weekend, then cut the grass (my "me" time where I can just sit on the tractor and ponder life for a couple of hours), then sat on the edge of the pool and dangled my feet in with Jesse. I have
