Sometimes my mainframe roots betray me.   Let me take you back to those days when men were men and so on.  Back then a read was a read.  It went from request to i/o handler to disk controller.  No stopping for idle chat with the [...]

Our CTO Paul Czywczynski sent me a syllabus for my learning vacation here at Long Lake, WI.  It’s great stuff, and I’ve commented on a couple of the blog posts.  If you’re into WPF, Silverlight, SQL2008 and staffing software, then you might find it interesting [...]

This last week the Orchard development team released an alpha version of its open-source content management system (CMS). I’m following their work quite closely as a candidate CMS for the next release of TempWorks Lead Generation Services, and it occurred to me that our staffing [...]
