ruminations (not ruinations)

September 22, 2004   

it’s a slow day at work, so i have a couple of random thoughts here and there. calling them “ruminations” is probably hyping the situation a bit. let’s see..

Seppo has been working like a dog at his job, and i hope he gets some downtime after this week. the guy certainly deserves a break after the hours he’s been working.

i just finished writing a stand-alone app for the palmOne Treo600, and i had a damn good time doing it. it’s a directory/file browser for the SD card, and it show only file types that have registered viewer applications, kind of like a very limited FileZ, with the added feature of being able to launch apps from it, instead of just browsing around for info. the reason i am just starting to have a little downtime is because we built our first release release candidate last week, and this week’s candidate seems to be the one that will be released to manufacturing. the product looks good! i’m really proud of the team and the product. i haven’t felt this “solid” about a release in a long time, because this team was so well-supported.

i’m curious about what i’ll be working on in the coming months. one of my teammates told me i need to be vocal about projects that i’m interested in, and i agree, except that everything is interesting to me right now. 🙂

my sister’s b-day is coming up soon. i have bought her some books and picked up a little thing for my big niece. i will prob pick up a few more things before sending them off, but i’m running out of time. heh. this is so typical of me.

i hope this “steel” thing that my sis & brother-in-law are trying to get going works out. it’ll be a lot of money for putting the right people and projects together. they deserve some time of financial ease. they hope to sell the factory, but the guy who claims he’s interested keeps changing his mind. i hope they sell up and move to the US. it’d be nice to have them closer, so i can see my nieces grow up.
