So, a few interesting things have happened in the past week or so, but I haven't taken the time to post :-/

LANFEST happened last weekend. Colin has a few pics of it on his Fickr. Unfortunately, I didn't play very many computer games, but I ended up play Wii mostly, and Gaila enjoyed a good portion as well. Colin and Nick showed up and mostly played WoW. The venue changed form the pavilion to the atrium in Howe Hall, and we stayed until around 5am by the time we were all packed up. Pretty soon, I will not be able to do the whole night anymore.

This weekend, Colin, Brett and I will be going down to Des Moines to see Lewis Black at the Civic Center. Gaila is gone for the weekend at conclave, so I have the apartment to myself until Sunday afternoon.

I learned that Guy Kawaskai will be coming to town April 26, 17th for the Emerging Technology Conference. He'll also be going to the IgniteIT event the evening of the 26th. I'm going to have to get a copy of "The Macintosh Way" and/or "The Art of the Start" to have him sign. Definitely going to be a really good week.

At work, I have figured out how to work with the MSSQL database with PHP and extract form data from PDFs as well as touched up an open source library for generating barcode images using GD. Perhaps I will post about the barcode library soon.
