The Ramblings of a Simple Man

  • Changing ball reaction

    These past few weeks, I’ve spent a lot of time reading online, trying to find the best and most efficient means of getting the reactions you’re looking for out of the equipment you already have. Most of the literature I’ve come across has told me the best ways to change the reaction you get out…

  • My bowling ball arsenal

    I now have a basic three ball arsenal.  I have a Columbia-300 Arch Rival, a Brunswick Twisted Fury and a Columbia 300 White Dot for right hand spares, all weighing 15lbs.

  • Wasted effort, wasted time…

    Well, this past week has been by far the most frustrating week, since moving to the US.  The irony is, these frustrations were caused by some guy in the UK! Last week, I made contact with a prospective contract to do some work for him.  The original scope for the work was to markup and…

  • Christmas Eve ’08

    Well, today has been a rather uneventful day.  As mentioned in a previous post, our car is somewhat broken at the moment, after having the front-right CV joint break, rendering the car immobile.  As it turns out, the car has a large hex bolt in the front axle, surrounded by six 12-sided bolts.  Bloody German…

  • What a week

    This week has been a whirlwind week for me, with ups and downs and everything in between.  Somehow, I ended up working 30 hours in the first three days of the week (Monday – Wednesday), so I took it easy on Thursday, since I’m not able to invoice more than 40 hours a week.

  • Sleepless in… Hazard

    It’s now 3.07am and I CAN’T SLEEP!  Why?  You tell me! My wife is laying beside me fast asleep and all I can do is sit here and bang away at freakin keys until the wee small hours of the freakin morning!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

  • Thanksgiving

    Yesterday was Thanksgiving, or Turkey day as some are calling it, here in the good old, US of A. Thanksgiving, I believe, is a holiday that celebrates the harvest times of old, which, given that it is the middle of winter, would probably be a good thing back in the 1500’s, but I digress…

  • Web design

    I’ve been working in and around the web development industry since early 2001.  I was a Computer Science student at Waikato University, in Hamilton, New Zealand.  One day, a friend of mine, who happened to be a freelance web developer and designer asked me if I wanted to do a small PHP job for him.  He…

  • The first snow

    So last night was the first snow fall over Hazard, KY.  It was kind surreal actually.  We went bowling at about 7pm, as is the norm for a Thursday night (178,167,177 for a 522 series. For anyone who cares) and it was barely dusting on the way over.  It was snowing enough that you could…

  • Big wheels keep on turning

    These last few weeks, I’ve been working away on a couple of projects that have REALLY made me appreciate just how important good architecture and planning really is, even with the smallest of projects.

Got any book recommendations?
