Back from Vacation

By barneyb on August 12, 2007

As you may have surmised, I've been on vacation, and a glorious vacation it was. As always with the Boisverts, good food was plentiful. Even with a significantly more active lifestyle than my usual state of existence, I'm sure I gained weight. But as nice as it is, it's always nice to [...]

My New New Bike

By barneyb on July 16, 2007

This weekend I picked up my new new bike, a Fuji Cross Comp.  The other bike just wasn't stiff enough.  To be fair, it was a huge frame and designed for comfort not rigidity.  This one, however, is like a friggin' rock.  I can't bend it at all, no matter how hard I crank on [...]

Public SVN Access

By barneyb on July 11, 2007

To this point I've kept all my personal projects in a private SVN repository, but Joe wanted access to the source of my bicycle dashboard, so I opened it up to anonymous read access at https://ssl.barneyb.com/svn/barneyb/bicycle_dashboard/.  I'll probably end up opening a few other projects as well (like my award winning schema tool, which has [...]

Golf

By barneyb on July 10, 2007

I went golfing this morning with Joshua (a blogless coworker) at the Lake Oswego City Course.  It's an 18-hole par-3 course, and pretty nice.  Holes were from 75 to 180 yards, averaging around 150, and I played pretty well.  Handful of pars, a couple double bogies, and the rest bogies.  I figure if I play [...]

Fun with Flash on Linux

By barneyb on July 2, 2007

So I got home this evening and wanted to record my commute with my new logger app, and guess what, it crashes Firefox. Roughly one-in-four loads of the app are successful, other attempts cause a segfault as the player tries to load the SWF. It seems to work better in SeaMonkey, but still [...]

Bicycle Goodies (i.e. Info Porn)

By barneyb on July 2, 2007

While on my seemingly endless airplane rides, I finished up a first draft of my bicycle reporting app, and made it available at the seemingly random address of http://www.barneyb.com/bicycle/.  ; )  Yes, it's Flex, and yes, I chose that platform of my own volition.  It's still a little rough around the edges, but it's all [...]

I Went Wii!

By barneyb on July 2, 2007

Much to Heather's delight, I returned home from CFUNITED this weekend with a Wii for her to play with.  And much to my delight, I cracked open Zelda:Twilight Princess again for the first time in a few months.  Can't play the GameCube version with the Wii controller (have to use the GameCube controller), but other [...]

Calling all Gaget (Specifically GPS) Geeks

By barneyb on June 25, 2007

I'm trying to find a GPS unit for myself, and am struggling. I figured since my blog has a fairly technical audience of varied backgrounds, there's probably a bunch of people out there reading who might offer some insight. Here are the specifics of what I'm looking for, in decreasing order of [...]

My New Bike

By barneyb on June 22, 2007

Got my new bike yesterday and rode it to work this morning.  Whee!  Definitely needs some tuning (seat height, handlebar placement, dérailleur tension, etc.), but it's quite nice.  Integrated shifting alone is huge.  I'll get a pic some time and post it, but for now, it's all for me.  ;)

i'm gonna go wii

By barneyb on June 20, 2007

News came back last night, my schema management tool won the Wii and CFUNITED ticket in the Open Source CF contest. After holding my wii in for the past few weeks, it'll be nice to finally let it out.
