Technology ramblings from a dilettante of all things digital

As good of a computer science education that I think I received, when I was an IROC (Idiot Right out of College) I was definitely lacking huge in certain areas.  Chief among these were software engineering (which I think I'm a lot better at now) and beyond basic OO, the fine art of Design Patterns.  I've managed to read about half of Head First Design Patterns and actually implement a few at work.  However, I still feel way behind on them overall, so I started a study group with some coworkers.  We'll attack 2 patterns a week.  I'll post notes about them and links to examples in my svn repository.

Enjoy!

Okay, so I've finally setup my blog!  This is a simple plain install of dasBlog.  I reserved the domain back in April and now in late July I FINALLY get it up and running.  It took me a whopping 10 minutes to setup, too.  Phew!!  I almost went with Subtext, based on a friend's recommendation, but I didn't want to pay the extra money for a sql instance, so here I am.  That's it for now.  Check back soon for updates on my digital exploits (or attempts thereof).
