Well, I’ll admit there’s no real reason to this post. I just setup blogging via email, and wanted to test it out from my Treo. Assuming all goes well, it will show up… And then promptly be deleted.

So, the semester is finally over. I made it through another one alive. And aside from a trip to Maryland for five or six days, I’m home until the 20th of January. That’s lots of time to spend running calls for the Midland Park (Volunteer) Ambulance Corps, here …

I’ve long been a fan of Free Software - both the technical aspects and the moral implications. As such, I’ve long been somewhat of a fan of RMS, and have followed his public persona. I’ve had the experience of exchanging short emails with him, and was lucky enough …

So I have a few days of sanity - the last week of classes - before exam time. Hopefully I’ll wrap some …

In my usual lunchtime Digg reading, I came by a link to the BusinessWeek Most Important Products of 2007. Given the number of cars, it’s apparent that this is a very consumer-oriented listing. But I was a bit surprised - the first four products were all from Apple - the iPhone …

So I have a nice weekend of real-world non-technical activities ahead of me. A welcome end to a week of insanely busy school work, and a welcome break before the threat of exams 2 weeks away becomes real. I’ve been working on a few projects - centralized logging and analysis …
