Where Are The Wise Men?

My problem seemed easy — I want to capitalize the words in a sentence. So “FRANK BURNS EATS WORMS” become “Frank Burns Eats Worms”. And I wrote a little method that did that and life was good.

But then I realized that I also had strings like “M.A. HOSTETLER (COMPUTER GEEK)” and they would [...]

This can be a continuation of what Dave said or a continuation of my branch of the discussion. Or perhaps both.I’m convinced that relationships with others make up who you are.  Whether it’s the relationships with God, with your family, with friends, with co-workers, with enemies, you name it . . . Your outlook on [...]

Gina posted about this a few days ago but I’m going to expand or perhaps explain some things.Gina and I have been challenged lately to do more for our environment.  No, this didn’t come from Al Gore (heck, we haven’t even seen the movie!) nor did it come from any one thing or event.  It’s [...]

In VBA for Macintosh goes away Joel Spolsky says:When Microsoft lost the backwards-compatibility religion that had served them so well in the past, they threatened three of their most important businesses (Office, Windows, and Basic), businesses which are highly dependent on upgrade revenues.Interestingly enough, Apple threw out their backwards-compatibility religion and make OSX, which has [...]

I think that this post goes with what Dave said.. To quote:

… for Western Civilization, it’s not the New Age Movement, or other religions, or atheism, or liberalism, that is the great threat to Christianity; it’s consumerism

I’m sitting here coding this on python, writing this in Word, and just wanted to thank Mike for hosting. The thought that we might, on occasion, spend more time with each other in transit to work than we do with our spouses is not one I wish to expand upon!

It is true that ‘work’ has [...]

Even the writer admit this is a little late for April Fool’s, but who is the fool?America continues to maintain an incomprehensible and counter-productive immigration policy, damaging both pocketbooks and heartstrings from Silicon Valley to the Bay of Bengal. And unless Congress and the White House do something to fundamentally reshape immigration rules with respect to skilled workers (let [...]

Late last week, I finally got the opportunity to upgrade my Cygwin to something modern.  Like, you know, within the past month instead of three years old.  But after the upgrade, bash was really giving me fits.  Horrid fits.
