Internship, ASP.NET, Visual Studio, C++

It’s kind of a shotgun approach to a title, but the title fits the blog post content well.
Today I received confirmation that I’ll be doing an internship for a local Spokane company. As an part-time intern, I will be learning ASP.NET, which is really nice. ASP.NET will round out start some of my Microsoft programming [...]

Summer 08

I finished up finals this past week, and I’m staged to take 1 course this summer on Ruby on Rails. Summer is here, though it’s certainly not shown in the weather. There are many things to look forward to, including fireworks displays on the 4th, a NIN concert, an airshow, a vacation, and my birthday. [...]

How can you know it if you don’t even try

Friday I have to take the APE (Advanced Placement Exam) at EWU. This determines whether [...]

Shift and Refresh

As you might surmise from the Monty Python quote below, that I intend to continue this blog now that I have some more time and some things to write about. There is always a chance of my posts becoming infrequent again, but I’ll try. I like sharing the knowledge I’ve gained and the experiences I’ve [...]
