Identi.ca Updates for 2009-08-06
Hmm… I guess I’ll stick around for a bit. I think I prefer microblogging to updating my Facebook status anyways. # Woe is he, who must use Oracle and JDBC. # Before ye cry, to the dba do fly, and get ye some grant access! # Refactor time! Home time! Packaging time! # Powered by…

A Return to Normality
Today marks the first day of getting back to my old schedule and routine. The transition turned out smoother than I imagined. Hopefully, no new quirk will appear and I get back to working on all my overdue tasks. As things stand: Writing the first part of the first chapter in the novel. Had tweak…

Clubbing In the Courthouse – Part 1
Today I had to go to a summons. I’m grateful for living in a country with a “fair” judicial system, and I’m not going to try to avoid my “civic” “obligations”.

Reaching for the Stars
I’ve always dreamed of going to space. I remember watching space shuttle launches and the Astronomer series on TV, when I was much younger.

Stop Signs
Some food for thought: Libertarians and stop signs. It may seem trivial and buffoonish to even discuss this matter. But is it? Read and make your own opinions. And remember: Real knowledge is gained by questioning everything, even the seemingly banal.

A Tiny Update
It is Friday. Feeling tired from the irregular sleep cycles of this past week. I didn’t move forward as fast I wanted to this week. I’ve felt distracted, tired and could not focus. Still the minutae of this week didn’t tie me down. Thanks to a friend my Polish writing improved in leaps and bounds…

Realizations
This week I realized: How little I really know about the important stuff: like faith. There are so many knowledge to be gained in fields related to this. (Thanks Marika for pointing that out to me with your questions.) Hold on and act upon your ideals. You can not please everyone. But you will please…

Tieing Loose Ends Together
Its been another busy day. I’m wishing it was more productive in terms of work. But I did arrange and find out all the information I needed to find out. I wrote some e-mails, learned about EJBs, and a few other odds and ends here and there. I guess it one of those days to…
