Welcome to a belated November

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Steve

We’re off to the home stretch of 2014 because in America, the Holiday Season gets kicked off with Halloween followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Interspersed in between are the other so-called good movies. The Summer sucked, I’m hoping the … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Steve

I have a new team manager to report to. Her name is Crystal and she’s pretty cool. My former boss Eddie had me assigned to her because he said I was very vital to his recent success in Enterprise when … Continue reading →

Buonasera! It’s Italian Heritage Month IV…belatedly

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Steve

Much like the Southern European nations’ stereotype, I’m late and behind schedule! However, unlike Italy’s ex-prime minister Silvio Berloscummy I don’t deserve prison nor are my excuses stronzate. The new month had a crazy start the afternoon of October first; I … Continue reading →

Posted on August 1, 2014 by Steve

In Austin, we have some good news and some bad news… The good news is that allergy season has ended. The bad news is now the new allergy season has begun. Ugh! I got to feel right during the build … Continue reading →

Four great amusements from 1989 is the header

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Steve

This month’s header is the big tribute to the Summer of 1989, the best Summer I ever had in college. All the lessons I learned and mistakes I made in 1988 were perfected to make 1989 not suck. I did … Continue reading →

This month’s D&D-themed header

Posted on May 4, 2014 by Steve

Yeah, yeah, it’s May Fourth…Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars. However, I’ve chosen to go with this awesome piece of fan art by an immensely talented lady in Romania who goes by the handle of Madam Marla. You can see … Continue reading →

I’m mostly back! Stupid cold and cold weather!

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Steve

As my current head cold recedes, I am gradually catching up on a slew of crap I had to put aside. Any celebration over 15 years with Apple has been postponed when matters both financial and health normalize. Let me clarify … Continue reading →

You can blame me for Marquette’s sorry performance

Posted on April 7, 2014 by Steve

When I was in Las Vegas last year, I spent 10 bucks on a futures bet on the Warriors (they will never be the Golden Eagles to me) to win the NCAA championship to be played tonight between Connecticut and … Continue reading →

Sorry about the recent outages, key issue may have been solved

Posted on April 5, 2014 by Steve

Picayune has had intermittent freak outs and then I took it down to put a different piece of hardware to experiment with. The good news is it wasn’t hardware nor the core OS, what a relief! The bad news is I had to … Continue reading →

Coming up on 15 years…

Posted on April 1, 2014 by Steve

To celebrate, I tweaked the Mac’s 30th anniversary logo and melded it into my spot on the poster. My name is surrounded by numerous other people, some are co-workers I even know. I blurred them out to protect their privacy. … Continue reading →

Pardon this month’s virtual dust

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Steve

I’ve been enduring the server going offline intermittently for the last couple months. Not sure what the exact cause is but it’s driving me bonkers. Currently the Picayune is being hosted on another Mac Mini I received permission to borrow from … Continue reading →

I’ll give the D&D theme another month…

Posted on March 2, 2014 by Steve

…I’m feeling a tad lazy plus I think I can tie it all up into other things I’m behind in. Besides, I can’t come up with a solid concept to implement until April which would be my 15th anniversary with … Continue reading →

Sleetapocalypse hasn’t helped much but I’ve been bogged down by a handful of other matters plus I have a horrendous headache today thanks t0 staying up too late. However, I think there will be a slew of stories between all … Continue reading →

Happy 2014 everyone!

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Steve

We took it relatively easy again this year. Somara went to work (and continues) to make all the overtime she can because people still receive iTunes gift cards for the holidays. I imagine that for every problematic code Somara facilitates, hundreds, … Continue reading →

Web site annoyances. Fixed? We’ll see.

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Steve

Had to take the Picayune offline yesterday to back up the server’s contents. It seems the darned Mini was going on the fritz sooner and sooner. I kept suspecting those damned Russians and usual suspects who keep ruining the Internet for the … Continue reading →
