drowning in the sea

-
Well, the sea of boxes is still here. I don't know when I will ever have the time to go through them and filter out what's good from what's trash. Some people would say it's all trash, but I know better.

Work is eyeball deep. I'm doing the work of three developers, but then how is that different from any good job I have had. I have help now, we (the company) picked up a programmer straight out of college and he is working out just fine. A contracter came on board yesterday and I have high hopes for him too.

Our biggest problem is the performance of our application. The back end is an Oracle database and I will be the first to say I have no knowledge or understanding of tuning that beast, but it needs it bad. More later, got to get back to work.

The first thing I will put up is some project summary pages for my Arduino hardware and software projects.

Clean up the blog

-
 Back in the early days, I did a lot of on-line polls and personality tests.  I recorded the results here as blog entries.   Turns out that a lot of them were not 'well supported' and the resources they referenced have gone away.  So, I am cleaning out those posts from my history.  I hope this will tighten up my blog as I start to post to it regularly again. Wish me luck.
