Wired News: PCs Are Incorrect on TV Is Hollywood trying to say that good guys use Macs and bad guys use PC’s? I guess that would make me half good and half bad.

I watched Olympic Curling tonight for about three hours on CNBC. It’s actually quite like the Italian sport of Bocce, but on ice and with brooms. I enjoyed the chess match like atmosphere as teams plotted their strategies. So I guess I’ll have to make fun of some other Olympic sport now. Maybe pairs figure skating….
O’Reilly Network: Why Use a Command Line Instead of Windows?. I’ve actually been asked this question a lot when proclaiming my enthusiasm for the new Mac OS and it’s command line interface. If you are curious about this particular subject, this article is a well written explanation of the reasoning and usefullness of the Command Line Interface. Not sure how I missed it when it was first posted back in November.
LaunchBar for Mac OS X. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but if you are using Mac OS X, you must check this utility out.

I guess I’m not getting what the fuss is all about with this CSS versus tables thing. I have three or four tables at my house that work fine. In fact, I’m typing on one of those tables now. Why would I replace them with some CSS thing? Can I put my coffee on it?

I Heart New York: X Icons has Mac OS X Radiohead icons.
Long day here at the Bump Clubhouse. I decided to finally install the Sonnet Technologies ZIF/G4 upgrade card in my Blue and White tower that I am using as my home fileserver/home Apache server. I bought the card open boxed about two months ago, but hadn’t the time or the inclination to install until today. It was such a good deal that I couldn’t pass it up. Well, lo and behold, I took the card out of the box and it isn’t a ZIF G4 at all, but a PCI G3, someone had pulled the ole switcheroo on Microcenter. I took it up there, and they let me return it after all. Even though I bought it in November. Good story of customer service and a big up to Marchand and Jim over at the Marrietta store for taking care of me. So now I have a much faster server. Yay.

I’m still looking for work. If you have an opportunity, or know someone who does, I build great Web apps using Cold Fusion, PHP, and all sorts of databases. I have good, Fortune 500 client experience, and can do client interaction as well as development. I’ve been a developer for several years, and have also managed a department of developers. In addition to full time work, I’m interested in either contract or project work. Oh, I’m based in Atlanta so, unless I can telecommute, the job would have to be here. If you know of anything, please email me.
