Another Spring, Another Garden

The snow peas are coming in fine ... ... although that might be a bit of a misnomer. It was nearly 80 yesterday. Fortunately the humidity didn't match. We could still get a late cold snap, and even snow. But I really want to get more things started. Potatoes should do okay regardless: That looks boring now, but soon, soon. As the potatoes come up, I'll sweep the earth in from the sides and mound over the potatoes, which should increase yield. And there at the bottom left, you can see my snow/frost preventer. In years past, I've started from…

Team Project DONE; Now, Lasers!

I've been working like mad on a team project for my CMIS330 class, it's due tonight, and happily, I think it's done!

It makes me want to build robots with Laser Eyes (thanks to JoCo) and loose them upon the world. * * * Our condolences to the familes, friends and units of these fallen warriors: Staff Sgt. Jesse J. Grindey, 30, of Hazel Green, Wis., died March 12, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. Spc. Daquane D.

In my introduction conference entry for my CMIS class, I said I hate school group projects. At work it's fine, people are motivated and interested - the mission gets accomplished.

I posted up template documents, did my part quickly, completely, and early to provide exemplar material to make it easy for my teammates to follow the template ... and we needed everyone to the the first part done by last night. Of the other three folks, only one had anything done. Me == Sad. I've finished…

That's MY spot!

I worked until about 2330 last night, remotely to the office. When I came to bed, there was Lexi, in my spot. You might say that she was keeping it warm, but frankly, she was resentful about having to move. Nice picture for the circumstances, too: A 6-watt night-light provided enough ambient light for the sensor in the D5100. I'm rather impressed.
