So I took all of this week and next off from work. Yay! Looking forward to getting a lot of stuff done…but only fun stuff. I will be avoiding the less pleasant things as much as possible. Need a vacation. Anyway, here’s what I’m hoping to be doing a lot of:

I like my iPod but I'm not a huge fan of iTunes. When I heard about the Zune HD I figured it was time to try it. I want something better, something that doesn't lock up for 20 seconds every time I download a podcast. So with the hope of finding more usability I trotted down to Best Buy on release day (Sept 15th) and bought me the large size Zune HD. Yay! A newer, better, player! The software was very different but eventually I got used to it and could navigate it fairly well. Yay, all is happy with the world.

A few months ago I did lunch-n-learn at work around testing. I wrote down a number of principles that were useful to keep in mind when thinking about when writing automated tests. I figured I would share.

Dear reader, if you are a fan of strategy games like Civilization, I have a recommended (and free) game for you. It is called Ikariam. A few coworkers and I are playing the game and are creating an alliance. You should join us. If you are interested, join on the "Ny" server and shoot me an email so we can chat and collaborate.

So today was fun. Somehow my employer got five free tickets to the miniaturized version of the PDC that they had today at the Galleria in Dallas. Thankfully, I was able to go.

I'm on twitter now: http://twitter.com/Mallioch. Anyone else? Does this finally make me hip and cool?

So the other day I wanted to run a VM on my Vista machine for the first time, so I downloaded Virtual PC 2007. I also downloaded the Windows XP IE6 test virtual image from Microsoft to get started. But there was a problem.

I am reading Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code right now. In his discussion on method naming on pp. 110-111 he said something that seemed well said. I thought I would share it.

Well...it has been a long time since I posted here. It is time to end the silence! I have been meaning to combine the codebases for this blog and my other one and finally got around to it. A number of changes and a great deal of additions later and voila, they're now running off of the same code. I dig it.

If someone likes to blog, they probably blog most about what they are spending their time on. That has certainly been the case with me. Of course, I do spend a lot of time in tech. I do, after all, program for a living. But most of my programming as of late has been pretty typical asp.net programmer stuff, so not much to talk about. Instead...

I have decided to split blogs and move my biblical studies related work to a new site, ArchaicChristianity.com. The blog is now basically functional and I have some book reviews up. I will continue to blog technical and personal thoughts here on this blog. When my biblical studies work crosses into the world of technology, you will probably see posts in both locations. If there is anything particularly important, I may crosspost that as well. But, in general, I think it is time for me to split my work.
