I’ve posted a couple times about my wanting to take my part-time business full-time and the responses, while few, were encouraging. Well, I’ve made the decision, I’ve given notice, there’s no turning back now. Starting September 1st, Custom Community Systems, LLC will be a live full-time business for...

I’m at a cross-roads, a serious moment of indecision, and I’m hoping that I can get some advice, words of encouragement, or a serious dose of reality here. As many of you know, I’ve been moonlighting as a developer/designer for web sites running CommunityServer for a while now. I have a full-time job...

Normally I would try to get in at least a couple posts a month, but this last month has been hectic. My side business of customizing CommunityServer for others is booming and I've hardly got time to eat, sleep and lead an otherwise normal life these days.

Some of you may remember the Not So Brief History of my Religious Upbringing , in which I talk at length about the Christian school I attended as a teenager. Well, someone went and set it on fire.

My father, bless his soul, disagrees with my chosen philosophy of atheism. I don't disparage his beliefs at all (he's not an extremist) but we have had a conversation or two about mine, and he is understandably concerned for my soul. This morning he sent me this little story The Atheist An atheist was...

Introducing! My 1988 BMW 325ic Note: Several attempts to place a picture here have failed miserably (stupid CommunityServer), but to see pics of my new car, check out the gallery The last few days have been quite an adventure. Finding a car on Ebay is easy, winning the auction is easy, closing the deal...

I must move once again. The owner of the house I'm renting is selling, so I'm looking for a new rental. Of course I'm looking online, but another great resource is the local paper, in this case the Glastonbury Citizen, as I'm looking to move closer to where I work (damn gas prices!). So I stop in at...

My week started on a particularly sour note. Monday morning, I recieved a call informing me that my Grandmother had passed away. Truthfully it wasn't a surprise to anyone, she had been moved to critical care after an infection got into her blood. She's been in a nursing home for 5 or so years at varying...
