The filtering really needed to be done--the process ends up with a lot of congealed fat, and you don't really want a greasy, fatty drink.

Chad actually did seem pretty happy about it, surprisingly.

This was very entertaining! I was especially impressed by the thoroughness of your filtering. It doesn't seem as though Chad is pleased though.. ;)

Thanks. I don't always handle stress well, and I had a bunch of stuff hit at the same time: some commitments I'd made outside of work plus some things coming up I'm nervous about. It probably didn't help I work from home and had to go on-site much more than usual that week, too. Thankfully, things have cleared out and I was taking some time off next week anyway.

This was the first time I'd had it since I was a kid. It was fairly mild (which is partially why I had some question about it, since I've heard it usually isn't).

The Weird Al special was OK. I've been to one of his concerts and seen his videos from Alpocalypse, so there wasn't much that was new.

Shingles,,,, Ouch! Been there and had them twice

Hey Dylan,

I read your post.... You made the right choice. I've had shingles twice maybe even three times in 3 years (15 years ago) and it can be a real "Pain". You can keep to your self so the spreading it to anyone who has never experienced Chickenpox won't freak out if you get near them. That's not really an issue. It's more concerning that you have a huge work load and the space it takes up on your to do list. Those issue keep constant stress on your mind which cause the shingles to kick your butt, lol. The first time is the warning, the second or third time they really get you attention and depending where you get them can feel like a heart attack. So lay low, keep attending to the Must read stack, no coffee or caffeinated drinks and just reduce the stress factor.... even if, like me, you think you can handle it all, because it will sneak back up on you without warning.

Best of luck.... oh and how was the Weird Al Comedy series?

See ya,
Gary

Well...

... that's what GoodReads is for. :)

When I said I wrote this primarily to think back through my decision, I was serious. I didn't feel bad, the doctor was unsure, and I probably overestimated the possibility of spreading it.

The thing is, in my case, there's no patient zero. You can't spread shingles. You can, however, give someone who hasn't had chickenpox chickenpox.

Damnit Man!

I read this whole thing waiting to see what books you read!?

Also, perfect timing for an illness since I won't see you for at least another week and a half, and by that point the disease will have spread so far there is no way of finding patient zero ;)

Tabs

2010-02-10 19:49:50

Posted by Dylan Wolf:

This isn't worthy of a whole post, but I ran across these tabs a while back (I've been shuffling most of my music collection the last week or so, which means I end up hitting ultimate-guitar a lot looking for chords):

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/mark_knopfler/border_reiver_crd.htm
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/mark_knopfler/so_far_from_the_clyde_crd.htm

I really enjoy Mark Knopfler's latest album (Get Lucky) so that's part of it. But I'm really amazed at how good these chords are and how much they have the same feel as the original (even if they're--I suspect--simpler than the real thing). They're fairly easy to play and I think the guy who tabbed them used the capo well. (A lot of tabs you see on the internet that use a capo feel like they're trying to account for alternate tunings or weird chords or chords they can't quite identify.)

G3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G3_%28tour%29

Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson - three guitarists only other guitarists listen to (minus the occasional breakout hit). If you wanted to check them out I'd start with Surfing with the Alien, Alien Love Secrets, and Ah Via Musicom (one album from each).

G3?

2010-01-25 17:41:25

Posted by Dylan Wolf:

What's G3 (other than Gamer's Grotto)?

I'll check up on those. I think "Wanted Dead or Alive" is actually an example in the Rock Band Guitar Method book (yes, I bought it, despite the sneaking suspicion it was a gimmick).

I remember looking up "Wonderful Tonight" in the book you let me borrow, and tried playing the first few measures, but it honestly didn't sound anything like the song when I played it.

Then again, I've found that it's good to periodically flip back through your song books, because I suddenly find out I can play songs that seemed incredibly hard before. I actually flipped back through my Bob Dylan songbook after writing this on Saturday and picked up a few more.

I generally try to sing while playing. At least, most of the Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel songs I know off the top of my head, and the lyrics generally match up with the measures of the music.

G3 Tweetup

2010-01-25 14:20:10

Posted by Michael Neel:

I'm all for a guitar tweetup!

Other easy chord songs - Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (this is actually my 'learned to play the F barre chord' song). F, C and sometimes D.

Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe" easy pattern and speed, with none of those nasty chords (like the fore mentioned F).

Riff songs (songs that helped me learn more than chords) - Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight" - easy to go from riff to chords during singing.

Bon Jovi - "Wanted Dead or Alive" Okay, maybe not an easy one, but one of the first I learned so it can't be that hard. Good riff / chord sections.

Keep up the singing while playing - I started out that way, then focused on just the playing and when I tried to sing at the same time I screwed up. Took a good deal of practice to learn to do both after that. Better to get in the habit the first time.

It was to edit the AWA podcast.

To be fair, "Release IncaBlocks" is one of my tasks, so I'm not exactly being granular. (Anyway, I figure all the items on Agile Zen are, in a sense, sub-items of that task.)

Why, so you could enlist more of my event-organizing expertise in running CodeStock?

This may be a side effect of "act awesome and people will believe it." Have a decently professional blog, promote a local event, and suddenly people think you're part of the staff. :)

Will you offer art tables this year, as you did last year? I need to have an answer, so we can preregister and start planning our stock for the show. This is my third request and I still haven't heard from you----please respond. Thank you. Monica

One other discovery

2009-07-24 11:49:09

Posted by Dylan Wolf:

I made one other discovery today... you have to add the following code to the default WSPBuilder template, or your workflow does nothing when you try to start it. No error, no exception, nothing. Quite confusing.

private void onWorkflowActivated1_Invoked(object sender, ExternalDataEventArgs e)

{

    workflowId = this.workflowProperties.WorkflowId;

}

I think maybe this is the name I need to give to my blog software.

It works on two levels: first is all of the transparency effects on the current design, second is the fact it's probably more fragile than I would like to admit.

I believe Nathan you also have a custom build blog? I think there are some issues we can find =p People in glass blogs shouldn't throw comments... or something, lol.

That's been there for a while. All I did was update the form I use to edit pages on the site.

But don't let that stop you from enjoying the benefits of textboxes that stretch to fill the page, though.

Yeah, coming from a non-MVP, it kind of looked odd. That, and there seems to be a fundamental problem with any program to give people official rewards and/or status for contribution to the community. Inevitably, it will run into problems with politics, and it will be used by people who just get involved to get ahead themselves. Creating a new program doesn't eliminate the risk of that cropping up, it merely resets the timer.

Of course, I'm naively idealistic sometimes.

2009-05-06 10:49:12

Posted by Michael Neel:

I saw some of this yesterday, didn't dive into the specifics to see where it wrong. On the surface it seemed the problem was the appearance that Oleson didn't get MVP, so he was making his own program combined with some subversive ploy by his current employer to boost it self. No idea how valid these assumptions are, but you are right in the result stopped things.

Ironically this does exist in ASP.NET - we have ASPInsiders which is an exclusive (in the sense you have to be voted in by the members) separate community group from Microsoft's MVP program. It used to be 100% separate from Microsoft, but then worked out an agreement for ASPInsiders to have NDA's with Microsoft (so we can see and comment on future project and direction). The trade for NDA was giving Microsoft veto power over the votes - in practice to make lawyers happy, I don't think it's ever been used.
