counting packets.
Hey make sure you check out www.neelbubba.com/blog as I am posting the majority of my stuff there now a days.
From Chris and Christina...Japanese-Matrix-Ping-Pong.
I just posted a long story about my cousin's wedding...with pictures thanks to bubba blogger! If you have comments, you might want to leave them here...
This says it all. Man oh man, is this what I am to be know for online?
Other intresting things I found from my site statsitics (provided by sitemeter...thanks!):
Definetly not an "a-lister" type blog, but not bad considering I am not all that intresting, have more typos & grammar issues then a 4th grader, and post sporadically at best. I am super curious about what other friends of mine see in their site stats. Karen? Chris? Neema? MC? Joe? Guy? Greg? Aaron?
I just realized I haven't explicitly mentioned my other blog here yet. I will continue to use this one but will be more active in the other one. Why? Well, it was a VERY important concept I learned while working at Microsoft...eat your own dogfood. What does that mean? Well, simply put it means use the stuff you create...and use it heavily, even when it is still a work in progress. MS product teams do this with everything they write (or at least they try too) and imho it is a key to good software managment and design. You, the creator, find problems, edge cases, and brain farts far before your users do. You learn what potential problems (ie bugs, weird UI/UE) might be before they happen, and hopefully get to fix them before shipping your stuff out the door. More importantly, you learn what works and what doesn't in real life. Design decisions can look great on paper, but when you live with the consequences of your decisions every day you get a much better idea for how great/terrible they really are. Then you fix them. Then you do it again. Isn't software grand?
BubbaBlogger is not nearly as polished as I wish it was, but I am using it. If you want to too just let me know...then you can tell me what stinks about it and what doesn't. Of course, you could also just read my ramblings and curses about my own dog food instead...
