  • See you at TheRuntime.com

    I write this post with a mix of excitement and sadness. The exciting part is that I am helping form a new developer community site at http://www.TheRuntime.com . The sad part is that I will no longer be blogging at Codebetter. When Codebetter was first formed, myself and several other bloggers from DotNetJunkies...

  • A modest proposal (off topic)

    Simple rant, nothing more. Just sent in some immigration papers for my wife, who is a Swedish citizen who came here when we got married. The paperwork carried a $275 processing fee.

  • Tagged

    This viral tagging thing must be almost burned out since it finally got down to little old me. 5 things you don't know about me: I would actually leave development and become a science and tech teacher if there was any money in it (there isn't).

    One of the things that plagues the contract IT worker is the worry over health insurance. I've been in situations many times when you're between companies/contracts and you get stuck footing a huge cobra insurance bill (I've had monthly premiums from cobra for the family at best $500 and...
