Back from the Honeymoon – Now What?

The worst part about going on vacation is all the work you have to come home to! Work-work has been crazy, and there’s still a ton to do around the house. It doesn’t help that we just moved in a little over a month ago and things still aren’t cleaned up from that. And the cat left her hair everywhere Luckily Liam has been taking care of the forums.

Did I tell you I was getting married? I must have mentioned it at some point (for those handful of loyal readers ) Liam and I got married on June 9th. I meant to post something before we left but things were similarly busy at that time too We’ll be posting photos in the photos area when we get them from the photographer. It was a beautiful, perfect, amazing, wonderful day! There’s nothing like your own wedding

Now that all this craziness is (almost) over, I hope to get back to writing regularly again. There have been a few interesting things on other blogs lately – hopefully I’ll have time to write about them soon!

Oh, and I need to take that “soon to be” out of the header graphic

These developers don’t seem to realize that there is a problem with writing code like this. Here are 4 reasons why distributed code needs to be of high quality and standards compliant:
