While working on the MyClient project, I stumbled upon an oddity in my ride data.  All of the indoor rides were flagged as being roller rides.  Certainly not the case as nearly all of my rides this season have been on the new fluid trainer.  It would seem that I had different variable names on the data collection and insertion code.  Patched that up and then began the tedious process of trying to fix the the database records.  Data for this year has been fixed, but I still need to review the past couple of years.  I guess my procrastination on getting the old data entered has actually saved me some work!

Tired of phones, pagers, email and instant messaging?  Then maybe you need the latest in messaging technology.

I can only hope my employer moves to a building with high ceilings soon!

If your data is so valuable you need to make sure no one ever gets anything from one of your old hard drives, this might just solve your problem!

Then again, if your data is this valuable your skills must be in very high demand. So, how do you have the time to dream up and do something like this anyway!

After the initial setup, I've now expanded the gallery to three covers....   …more

Okay, here's my new blog section topic and how it came about.  Some weeks ago my coworkers were rambling on about the song "Hair Of The Dog".  I interjected not only the song name because they didn't know it, but also that it's the title track from the Nazareth album circa 1975.  I happen to have a collection of several hundred vinyl records which I rarely use.  Some of my favorite ones I've transferred to CD for convenience, but they're just sitting around begging for attention.  Hair Of The Dog happens to be one of them.  I said I'd bring it in.

So I did bring it in and it sat propped up on top of my reference book on my desk for a few weeks.  I had an idea that I'd build a frame or a shelf and I could then display it and other records like art work!  After having the disk fall on me numerous times a day a realized I needed to get this thing off my workspace.  Obviously I not going to be building anything to display this thing anytime soon.  It's either take it home and forget it or brilliant…pushpins!  Using three of these, two on bottom and one on top I arranged this triangle of pins so I could slide the record cover between them thus holding it on the wall.  The gallery is born!  And here's the first one:
