It's All Just a Fantasy


As the ever wise, all knowing, dumbfounded Homer always says, "D'oh!". D'oh is right. What drives Fantasy Football into our lives? Is it the life we always wanted to lead but never could? Is it the everlasting struggle and thrill of the bet with your friends and/or enemies and/or family? No, my friends. It's the excuse to drink beer all Sunday while "D'ohing" your way through the players you thought were "sleepers" (really, they're sleeping on the sideline) or you knew "this is their year to shine". Well, we were all wrong weren't we???? Some are proving thier worth, while others are slacking in the Fantasy Points (give me some yardage Carnell!!!!!). All I'm trying to do is win a bet, and what happens? My luck runs out and I'm "D'ohing" all the way to the poor house.

In Rememberance Through APEX #JoelKallmanDay

It was a sad day when I had heard Joel had passed.  I was gearing up for another day of working diligently on an APEX app for one of my customers when I saw the news.  I knew I had to do something by which to remember him.  I'm not the cleverest of APEX developers, but I do like to have fun and create a lot of our internal applications.  And if someone tells me they don't think APEX can accomplish a certain task, I have, for the most part, disproved that claim. I ended up creating my own challenge at one point.  One of our internal applications required some creative thinking on our part, but we were successful in finishing the application and designing it the way we wanted.  Several internal groups became interested in this application and wanted it for their own.  I wanted to make sure our team got credit through a hidden Easter egg.  A little JavaScript, some SweetAlert2  magic, and an old gaming console cheat code got the job done.  ...

Hello, I'm no longer a PC . . .

. . . user. This is it . . . I made up my mind and I'm ready. No more regedits, no more BSOD (yes, they happen in XP), and no more driver downloads. In the next few weeks, I will move from PC User to Mac Geek. I will be the proud owner of a brand new iMac, and no longer a slave to the Windows PC world. Not that I can't handle Windows, but I just refuse to move to Vista. It's no longer an option. I cannot face another ME debacle. And I think my security skills are fine as they are, thank you very much. I don't need Windows telling me what I can and cannot view. I look forward to being an Apple geek -- I already own a couple of iPods. Now I'm ready to move on to the big dog!

Already a football fan . . .

Well, how about that? My little one is already a football fan . . . he/she knows how to do the Wave. No joke. Just watch my wife's belly and you'll see for sure. One minute her belly is a nice, round pregnant-like shape, and the next thing you know you see a hand/foot/elbow/knee poke through and move fluidly from one side my wife to another. He/she is pretty packed in there. I can't wait to meet my child. Wondering what he/she will look like. I'll find out in no time. Only 6 more weeks to go (give or take a week or two)!
