Little Miss redux

Last night (she said…) was some night. The outpouring of love and support from friends both new and old has been unreal. I mean, for crying out loud: my personal trainer sent me an IM to see how I was doing. I can’t express how grateful I am for all of you: for those who came out and drank with me and those that knew it was best to leave me be; for those who bought me coffee to...

Little Miss

I’m so sorry for all of this, baby girl. A good friend gave me a talking to this weekend and she said I need to understand that I can’t control certain things and that some of what’s going on isn’t my fault. And she’s right. But that’s little consolation when you come running out of your Mom’s place with tears in your eyes. Or when you beg me to stay with you and I’m forced to say “I can’t.”. ...

For those not in the “know”,...

How much does loyalty cost?

About 1 week of vacation time. Starting Feb. 8, I’ll be a full-time employee of Serials Solutions working on their Summon product. I’ve been contracting with them for a while and I totally dig the company, the team, and the product, so all-in-all this is a great thing. Serials Solutions is based in Seattle and I’m in Austin, so the entirety of the hiring process has been done...

Vacumming your Address Book

Apple’s a big fan of SQLite (which is awesome, because SQLite is awesome). It’s used for a ton of things, including the data store for Address Book. Like most databases, however, SQLite dbs need to be VACUUM’d from time to time. Without going into too much detail, one can think of a VACUUM as a defragmentation operation for the database. Without it, the SQLite db can get a...
