Weekly Link Roundup 2009-02-11

Sitting at Schlotsky’s enjoying free Wifi; Isabel’s in ballet, Grace is in swimming, and my lovely wife is at home slaving away on her doctoral dissertation.  Me?  I’m wishing I had a netbook instead of this big ol’ clunky laptop from work.  I’m hoping that when they replace this thing sometime in the next year, [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2009-02-04

Wow, busy week this week. How I Get By Without Sysadmin:  Jeremiah Peschka has a great article on tuning queries from a developer’s perspective.  I’ve been a big advocate of some of his methods for a while now, and it’s nice to see other people come to some of the same conclusions that I have. [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2009-01-28

Stuff I’ve been reading: Lots and lots of stuff on the digital tv transition:  This is fascinating to me; it’s a perfect example of the stupidity of federal government.  They sold the bandwidth, so everyone needs to upgrade.  They set a date.  We have a change in exeuctive administration (but not in legislative), and suddenly [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2009-01-21

Stuff I’ve been reading: Causing a stir in Tok Alaska: I first started reading this blog after reading about the -78 degree weather in Alaska on the Drudge Report. The writer is quite talented, and it’s a lot of fun to read. Wordle:  Technically, this ain’t reading.  I found out about Wordle from Brent’s blog, [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2008-12-31

Happy New Year! Another short list this week; I had shoulder surgery yesterday (bone spur near my rotator cuff), so I’m just now coherent. Hydrocodone is potent stuff. I’m hoping that next week will get things back to normal. Eyespi20: I always enjoy it when someone comments on my site, because it gives me the [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2008-12-24

As promised during my last roundup, I’m going to start doing these on Wednesday’s.  And since Christmas is tomorrow, the season is on my mind: 10 things for non-coders to do with free software over Christmas: Interesting list of stuff to do; I particularly like the final point (even though it’s tough for me to [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2008-12-21

I’m going to have to start posting these on Wednesdays; trying to post them at the end of the week just causes too much stress. It seems like time just flies on Fridays, and the weekend is wrapped up with house stuff (I finally got Christmas lights up, BTW). Anyway, here’s the links of interest [...]

Weekly Link Roundup 2008-12-13

OK, I realize this post is late, but my site has been having all sorts of issues (excuses, excuses, I know).  For some reason, this post didn’t get released on schedule.  DevGuru’s CSS2 Manual: I’ve been spending a lot of time tweaking the site this week, so I’ve been hanging out here a lot.  It’s [...]

Weekly Link RoundUp 2008-12-05

Not a lot of time spent reading this week; it’s Nutcracker week (my daughter dances in the ballet), and my schedule has been nuts.  On top of that, my wife’s birthday was this week, I blew up my site, and my parents are in town.  However, what I have read is worth sharing: Brent Ozar has [...]
