  • Nokia and Qt, I Choose You!

    Since I commented on this post about MeeGo here, I really should explain. I went to a Wavefront/Nokia seminar about Nokia’s Qt and Ovi store on Friday.  Partially out of curiosity, partially to network and partially to perhaps win a brand new spanking N8.  Not that I want to hand in my N900, but I…

  • The Day After

    Today marks the first day of my 26th year of existence.  So far I feel quite pleased.  I have some progress in my various goals.  I go out more often.  I talk to more people.  I have found a few girls who have taken some sort of an interest in me.  Life goes on without…

Companies get in trouble when they try to apply…

  • Last Work Night Week

    Yay!!! My last week of nights begins today. Wow this summer did go by fairly fast. And unproductively (on the part of my pet projects). But that is about to change. As for house work today: washed dishes, dug a frozen dinner out of the freezer, and cut the hedge (really proud of that last…
