    About Me, Personal / Relationships

    By George [here] to post seven facts about me. I am the product of miscegenation. I read when I eat alone. There are 455 contacts in my instant messenger. Three of my four grandparents died before the age of 55. My height is 191.5 cm. No one else has my name in Google. (First entry…

    Is it user error when the “user” is a techie? Is it user error when the “user” is an admin? Shouldn’t it be admin error, if the admin is deploying the application? Is it user error when the “user” is a developer? So deep… Deep in Java. Another brown something.

    You’d think a city would make life hell on venue owners and fine advertisers for making them spend thousands of employee man hours cleaning up advertisements pasted onto walls of buildings, benches, etc. Punishment is only effective with the subject notices and can tie back to the cause-effect relationship.

    Right v wrong. White v black. 0 v 1. With all that I am, I am a maybe. Decision-Making: When up against a deadline, I’ll make a quick judgment and run with it. When I have time, I will mull over the possibilities infintitum. Why make a decision when no one wants a decision yet?…

    Blackboard Vista, Work

    I’ve been asked for a cookbook of SQL to deal with issues in [WebCT / Blackboard] Vista. This seems like a daunting task. Organizationally, I guess I lean towards “everything is miscellaneous”.
