June 27th, 2009

Transcode video.  Wow!  I’m transcoding my raw DVD rip collection so that I have a mirrored copy that can play on my Xbox 360.

Code is Poetry

June 18th, 2009

I recently ordered a new mug from zazzle.com.  “Code is poetry,” it says on one side, with my favorite programming language, C♯, on the other.  Code really is poetry, and now let me relate a memory that I thought of on my drive home from work today.  (Sorry in advance.  This post doesn’t have very much focus.)

Windows Home Server (NEED MOAR DATA!)

June 9th, 2009

I’m really behind on posts.  I couple weeks ago I built a new i7 computer, leaving my old (ha!) Core 2 Quad computer lonely and unusable.  To remedy this sad situation, I bought a 1 terabyte hard drive and a copy of Windows Home Server to convert my trusty ol’ compy into a happy new home server.  I’m not going to go too deep into the project in this post, but rather I am simply going to  post this picture:

Lotsa windows (100) on my new compy

May 31st, 2009

I thought I would test out my new i7 computer, so I opened up 100 programs (which includes a virtual machine running XP) and tiled the windows with Switcher.  There are 50 programs on each monitor, vuala!

Roomie Mobile Demo

May 25th, 2009

Since school is out and work hasn’t started yet, I have finally been able to catch up on some coding.  I know it’s geeky, but it’s fun!  Today I made some updates to Roomie, adding variables and functions to RoomieScript, the scripting language that the Roomie desktop application interprets.  Since I got a smart phone I have become in mobile development.  Today I took an hour or so to develop a mobile version of the Roomie website.  (Right now both websites are technically open to the public, but without the desktop application, which I have yet to release, the websites are useless to outsiders.)
