Ahhh rest no, not REST but PTO

Friday, April 18 2008 - 0 comments

I am taking a couple days of much needed PTO and the funny thing is I have so much personal stuff to catch up that it will hardly feel like rest. But it will be rest for the brain anyway at least for a couple days.

I don't have many photos up yet but I will be adding some soon, oh and btw did I mention it's using my flickr account....

Retired Apache for Blackberry Pearl

Monday, March 03 2008 - - 2 comments

I have had this awesome older apache (Verizon XV6700) for some time now and it has been great. Mostly due to the fact that there are hacks/ports to Windows Mobile 6 which normally only runs on the latest models, but this fact is also what finally starting to wear on me. I would spend a considerable amount of time keeping it working properly, which in the beginning didn't seem like much but now I felt it was getting out of hand. After careful shopping, comparison, reading reviews and not to mention factoring in the financial aspect I decided on the Blackberry Pearl 8130. It has the new 2 megapixel...

One Year Anniversary Telligent FTE

Monday, March 03 2008 - - 4 comments

I can't believe a year has flown by already, wow! February 28th was my 1yr anniversary working full time at Telligent , as many of you may know I started out as a contractor for the first 6 months so I have been on the team for a year and a half now. It's been really busy but really exciting and I have seen many changes some good and some not so good, well mostly good. We are growing and a very rapid pace so it can be challenging at times and I think that is why I fit in so well because I like a challenge. I am looking forward to the year ahead to see what the future may hold....

Rob Howard sets the record straight on Graffiti-vs-WordPress

Monday, January 07 2008 - , - 0 comments

GraffitiCMS has not even been released yet (in beta currently) and already the controversy is starting! Rob Howard CEO of Telligent sets the record straight on a few misunderstood snippets that have been going around, check out his great post titled " WordPress community hating on Microsoft " Personally me being a non programmer and more of a systems guy I can tell you that I find ASP.NET very easy to work with and GraffitiCMS was a snap to get up and running. Techincally speaking we are working on making GraffitiCMS crossplatform compatible and easy to migrate to from other applications...
