I Officially Know Stuff
via cephyn by cephyn on February 17, 2008
Sure, I can say I know things, but when it comes to PHP I now have proof - I am a Zend Certified Engineer. I spent most of my free time last week studying and taking practice tests. I did well on them, but I was still nervous going into the exam. I think that was because the practice tests don’t really tell you much - you don’t know what you got right or wrong, just if you passed the test or...

The Reprehensible Moral Universe of Erik Sofge
via cephyn by cephyn on March 10, 2008
Recently, one of the creators of Dungeons&Dragons died. Along with Dave Arneson, Gary Gygax created a game that has come to influence millions upon millions of people in one way or another, and very often, in very positive ways. I am one of those people who, thanks to Gary Gygax, has met life-long friends and found a comfortable place through D&D.Transitioning to a new middle school in a new...

Planes, Trains, but no Automobile
via cephyn by cephyn on May 08, 2008
I’ve got a trip coming up. I’ll be heading up to San Francisco this Sunday evening, on business. There’s a conference for a software package we use (and aren’t particularly fond of) and my boss wants me to put in an appearance - as well as voice a concern or two. Otherwise, I don’t foresee the conference being of much value to me. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.On the upside, I’ll...

Shhh - Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Biased…
via cephyn by cephyn on May 08, 2008
Our media is tainted. Really - and we don’t even know it. Well, maybe we do, but the media sources will never admit it. They’ll even go so far as to fire someone for expressing support for a candidate. But it doesn’t make sense - the media is made up of people, like you and me (sorta) that have opinions. They believe things. And I’m sure they choose sides. But they’ll never openly...

City of Lost Souls
via cephyn by cephyn on May 12, 2008
San Francisco has become a haunted cityfor me. I think I’ve been scarred forever by it. Not really the city’s fault though.No matter how many times I come here, no matter how much time passes - there’s simply too much that reminds me of Kyra. And something deep inside me screams in anguish that whenever I’m here, near, I can’t find her. Either denied by time and schedule, or by lack of...

Friday Flagellation
via cephyn by cephyn on May 29, 2008
*sigh*Yeah. I’m back in the doldrums again. I mean that very specifically - I am in a stagnant pool in my life. Again.First let’s roll back to my last “real” post about the haunting in San Francisco. On a random whim, and after much debate, I said “screw it” and called Kyra, fully expecting her not to answer. But lo and behold, she did. Sadly, she had just hopped on the ferry (a mile...

Both Ahead and Behind Schedule
via cephyn by cephyn on June 02, 2008
Time for a little self-improvement check-up. The patient is not exactly in the best health. Since laying out my plan for the future in February, events have conspired to slowly but surely drag me down from that self esteem peak. I am now in a trough, at best. Referring back, my Plan was to get a MySQL certification. I have lagged, procrastinated, studied in bursts and lulls. Technically, I had...

Let the Veepstakes Begin!
via cephyn by cephyn on June 03, 2008
Why have I not posted much on politics of late? Because it’s been excruciatingly boring. McCain is busy being old and not running against anyone. Obama has been busy marking time until Hillary finally gives up. And Hillary has been somehow, for some reason, trying to convince anyone she hasn’t been out of the race since March. I called this for Obama weeks ago, the math just wasn’t there...
