The willow tree behind the Labs after the big snow storm Friday night. Jonna pointed it out and I thought it looked completely cool.

Explaining Source Control
Photo by rbieber
So many things can have to be changed when switching hosting providers that sometimes code branching is the best answer (DUH). Here’s my feeble attempt at trying to explain the process during one such move. This actually went on for months, with me merging privately and creating builds for testing.
This was the final branching plan, once I knew everything would merge properly and I was asked to get everyone comfortable.
This is from sometime around 2002.

This was posted on Kelsi’s Flickr site. I thought it was funny. Pictured is me, my grandmother, and Kelsi (the little one).

Kelsi and I are both Pete and Pete fans and wound up getting each other Season 2.
Tonight was our Christmas night with Kelsi. Jonna and I got her the same thing she wound up getting me — The Adventures of Pete & Pete – Season 2. This show absolutely rocks.
2005 Highlights – The Year in Review
With December starting and knowing its just going to fly by before I know it, I’ve started going through the photo album and picking the pictures that I think are the highlights for me for 2005. Its been a really great year, with the following events being the definite high points:
- Another year with my beautiful wife and watching Kelsi, Jake, and Andy continue to grow and mature (as much as teenagers do that anyway). No one is luckier than I am to have these four people in my life.
- Watching Andy in his first season in football.
- Watching Kelsi in her first year in Marching Band as a freshman in high school.
- All of those “Thumbs Up” pictures.
- Meeting Steve Vai at the Chicago show in April [ pictures ]. Its completely cool to meet one of your heroes and find that he is as cool and down to earth as you always thought he would be.
- Visiting Randy Rhoads grave site [ pictures ]. This has been a goal I’ve had since Junior year in high school. This was great – and thanks Tom for going along!
- 2005 also marked my introduction to the iPod and podcasting (thanks Jonna).
- Ribfest 2005. ‘Nuff said!
- My exposure to Beatallica at Summerfest, which I really enjoyed (what I saw of it anyway) and provided the material for my first podcast.
- Jonna and I hanging out with Sue and Ryan at JellyRolls at the Disney Boardwalk. That was a hell of a fun time.
- Seeing a Tux-O-Lantern for the first time in my life. Way cool.
- Finally, another album release by Steve Vai
These are just a few of the highlights. 2005 has been a great year. I’m looking forward to what 2006 has in store for us.

Sure Sign of Winter

When you leave your coffee cup in the car , pull it out the next morning to empty (and wash) it — and it looks like this — you know winter is here.

‘Elmo’ and ‘Bert’. My machine is on my desk to the right of these (named ‘Grover’). I went through a phase where all machines were named after Sesame Street characters. I stopped just before having to use Snuffleupagus.
Going through old pictures I found this one of the old ‘labs’ back when we lived in a house that had no space for a lab.
Ahhh the good ol’ pre-DSL days. These are two linux boxes, one of which was on a 56K modem that autodialed my mindspring account if someone on the network requested something outside the network.
Older Pictures

This was on a trip to Springfield when we were young. Left to right, my brother Ed, myself (with a brand new canteen), and our father.
I found a bunch of older pictures that I had either taken with an earlier digital camera or scanned in like the one above. I’ve added some of them to the photo album and I’ll be adding more as I go through them.
It’s so cool sometimes to look back at these!
