Oct. 14-22: Running in Two States & Other Rambling

I'm still traveling a lot. Last week, I was in New York for an information sharing meeting between my employer and a large hardware/software platform vendor. I learned a lot and the conversations were extremely interesting. A lot of SaaS (Software as a Service), cloud computing, and collaboration stuff. These are the buzzwords of the day. But, I have to say it is amazing to watch these types of changes come along. Simple ideas really can drive big impacts to the way we think about solving problems.

I am voting for the Obama ticket, but I have to say I think Palin is getting an unfair and undue shake by the press and apparently her own party. The whole "how much she spent on clothes" brouhaha just smells like sexism and pettiness to me. I actually like listening to her talk and find that she carries me along as she does. I believe you is a tough cookie with strong leadership capabilities. I just find it interesting to see how folks polarize themselves.

Side note: I am no longer logging podcasts listening activity in Google Spreadsheets. It was just not a value adding activity. Logging it here is plenty.

I got JayBird's bluetooth stereo headset for my birthday. So far, I like them in general. I hate wired headsets. I am finding that getting a good feeling fit is difficult and that the controls are difficult to trigger while running. But, these are minor nuisances when compare to a wired headset and I suspect I will learn how to mitigate these issues with complete satisfaction. Now, let's hope for stability. I replaced the Motorola s9 which were crap. I must have asked Motorola to honor the warranty with a replacement for 4-5 times. The warranty ran out and the last headset died like the rest. The buttons gradually stopped working and the volume buttons would start just spontaneously driving the volumn up or down complete with the beep indicating the volume button was pressed.

Crap

  CDO's were the key instrument in the sub-prime crisis. Now, CDS's offer their own set of complicated influences in our struggling economy. The "frightening" label is appropriate. I sure hope the wise guys trying to manage this get it together. It is extremely hard not to panic a bit.

Oct. 7-12: Running in Two States & the World Wide Festival of Races

I completed the third annual World Wide Festival of Races (aka, The Phedippidations World Wide Half-Marathon Challenge). I have run it every time. I spend most of the week in Dallas work on some exciting projects for work. The work included interacting with CTO and software architects from all over my company. It is always interesting to hang out with smart people. Sometimes, I don't feel worthy.

Watching the financial meltdown, rescue, and political wrangling is certainly reminding me how much I wished I knew about how the world turns and how the financial market works. I did like a line I heard from Jim Rogers today, "I thought it outrageous that anybody has to step in a bail out a bunch of 29 year olds driving Maseratis". And, the more fact checking I hear on the news (on multiple channels) shows that both Obama and McCain really stretch the truth as they throw barbs at each other.

Podcasts for the week:

Sept 26-Oct 5: Running & Cycling in 2 States

Well, we launched the thing I have been working on. It was stressful at times, it was bumpy, but for the most part the application stayed up and performed as we expected. Yeppee! I felt like I had trained for and ran a marathon with a team. I nearly got way emotional saying thank you to one of my work mates. She did excellent work on this effort (as did everyone involved). After you work on a great project on aggressive timeline with a great team, there is some what of a let down at the end. I am glad we did it.

Dan is back with us on Sundays. I met Dan during last year's marathon training for Mercedes and he is back for the same this year. I was glad to see him and we talked each other's ears off during the run. It was cool.

I rested a lot this weekend (as in slept a lot). I also attended a soccer match, a baseball game, and a birthday party with my son. That was awesome! I missed him the last few weeks as I was heads down on the project.

Sept 7-24: Running & Cycling in 2 States, Yes I'm Still Alive

3 friends and I ran in he USMC Mud Run and it was a blast. We ran for fun, so don't look for us on the medal stand. We had 4 goals and we met them:

1. Have fun
2. Function as a team (stay together)
3. Negotiate every obstacle
4. Finish

Checkout the pictures directly on Flickr if you don't like embedded reader below):

I did not dry up and pass away. Just been doing 80+ hour work weeks and have simply not been able to get to tertiary tasks like blogging by few exploits. Man, the times they are a hopping at work and in the market. It is hard to believe the mess made by the financial industry. The whole derivative thing and the practices that surrounded and really hurt the market. And after listening to This American Life's show #363: The Enforcers, I agree with McCain in that "Cox should be fired." In the show, several snippets from meetings with Congress are played wherein Cox is asked questions like: "Do you need more people, larger budget?", "Do you additional legislative help?", etc. All with an eye towards enforcing and shoring up the financial industry. Cox seemed to think everything was fine and soon announced that the temporary fix was to explicitly restrict naked short selling for 19 organizations. Naked short selling was already illegal.

I loaded the 2.1 operating system for the iPhone and now one of playlists will not lists the shows that show up in iTunes and on the iPod. The shows are on the iPhone (the playlist is a playlist of playlists). The playlist is on the iPhone. But, the shows are not in it. Gees!

I had a server running from my house that got hacked. I couldn't figure out what exploit was used and how. I searched based on what I saw on the machine and found nothing. Given that I have so little time and that files seemed to be intact and passed virus scans, I simply sucked off the files I needed and reformatted the drive. I feel so violated. I hope the hacker got his jollies.

I learned about Firebug, a plug-in for Firefox and it just rocks. I lets you see all the definitions associated with displayed web page. It's awesome for debugging what css tag is governing the a particular element's display and such. Lot's more than this there.

I checked my cholesterol on September 14 and it was 169! Yeppee!

August 29-Sept 7: Running & Cycling in Alabama, Florida, & Texas

Yep, I have been traveling a bit. The family and I went to Seagrove Beach, Florida for Labor Day. It was a very relaxing good time. Our five year old son fully appreciates the beach and doing things together now. It was awesome to spend time with him. He just finished mastering riding his bicycle without training wheels and we did a 3.2 mile ride with him. He did great. We swam, played games, and found shells. Despite Gustav's threatening arrival, we had great weather until Monday, September 1, 2008 when the beach basically disappeared.

I spend nearly all of the work week in Dallas, Texas with colleagues from all around the world. I met some really smart people with gregarious personalities that were heavily into technology, a situation made for me. We are working on some exciting stuff touching on social networking, cloud computing, and software-as-a-service (SaaS). Definitely, cool.

I listened to these podcasts:

• This American Life: #362: Got You Pegged
  This show is about how our perceptions of folks is sometimes wrong and how that impacts our interactions and our lives. A good listen with a strong human touch, as usual.
  
• Phedippidations: Running for the Bases
  Steve talks about baseball and how important running is within it. A good entertaining listen during a run.
  
• Fitness Rocks 110: Is Overweight or Obesity a Health Risk
  Good data and discussion, but the conclusions are somewhat obvious.
  

Despite traveling a bit, I didn't listen to many podcasts. I am in the middle of reading some architectural treatises on object orientation; Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John M. Vlissides; and Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide by Amy Shuen. That plus 60-70+ hour work weeks just ain't leaving any time.

August 19-27: Running & Cycling in Birmingham

Work is consuming life and making it difficult to do anything else. I am learning LifeRay portal, velocity and working way through some good OOAD and Java Serverfaces stuff. Meanwhile, my lists of things to do, my proverbial pile, seems to just keep getting higher and higher. Guess that is what happens over time and there is no escape. Most of it is fun, just wished could move at a pace that felt normal instead of beyond what seems reasonable. But, a lot of folks I talk to seem to find their jobs the same way. Guess it is just what we have done to ourselves. Produce, produce, produce.... have more stuff, make more money, work...work...work...don't rest, don't slow down, work...work...work...work....

Anybody got some cheese for that whine!

I have been keeping up with my workouts though and here's the latest podcasts I have listened to:

August 12-17: Running & Cycling in Birmingham

A busy, but good week. I finally bought an HDTV, a 37LG30, a 37" diagonal LCD at 720p. We had an Olympics party last night and the wife wanted a good viewing. We went with the this model because it was available, fit in our cabinet, and had a better picture that comparable sized TV's we looked at. So, far, so good. The party went well too.

Adam Curry has basically turned the Daily Source Code into conspiracy theory central. What a shame! I miss the tech talk and just general all around notes about his life. This conspiracy crap, for me, is just noise. But, it is his show and I have a fast forward button.

Work has me diving into more low level code than I get to which is exciting for me. So, I'm learning more directly about JavaServer Faces, Dojo, and Ajax.

August 5-10: Running & Cycling in Birmingham & South Carolina

Sunday, I took off for Blythewood, SC via Atlanta. I drive for 3 hours to just the other side of Atlanta, then drive the rest in the morning on Monday. I worked all week in Blythewood, SC. We have a user conference coming up and it always makes for a few intense months just prior to its conductance. So, here we go! While I was there, I practiced a fireman's carry in preparation for the Marine Corp Ultimate Challenge Mud Run in September. I did well once I figured it out, but not until I dropped my team mate once.

Adam Curry continues to go off on conspiracy theory. I am currently listening to a This American Life podcast, The Spokesman, that involves a blogger that was in one of the trains blown up in London. Some conspiracy theorists starting attaching her, verbally. They even contacted her family including death threats. Said she was part of MI-5 and such. This conspiracy crap is a whole different thing when someone who was really there and saw the body parts of people is accused of lying about being there and seeing it. But, she learned the hard way that you can not shake the convictions of many of these folks. It smells like a lot of religion to me. I am convinced of the truth based on my reasons and any contradiction to those rules must be snuffed, by God! Too bad this happens to people. As far as 9/11 and the London train bombings being inside jobs, I don't understand why folks can not just believe that extremists really did it and would love to do it again. They really hate western society and actively plot to do this crap. It's real!
