I remember, in 1998, an old boss of mine sending us a presentation on XML, and how it was going to become the next big thing in information exchange. Well, things have certainly moved along since then, and XML is all over the place. Read the rest of this entry »

So they started construction. I finally had a chance to pop by to see the work in progress, which makes my home renovation projects seem, well, quite minor!

Completion is still slated for summer 2007.

Check out all the photos to see more! The adventure continues, however. I still have to have the floors refinished and buy furniture (oh ya, I do have to live in this thing!). I’m about 4-5 weeks away from completion. The neighborhood still doesn’t buy the fact that I’m moving in (they think I’m going to flip the house). Amidst all this, I’ve been considering residential reroofing options near me. Finding the right roofing service is crucial, especially when I’m so close to settling in. I’ve been exploring options, and 20 year roofers Roofline has caught my attention as a potential choice. I want to ensure that every aspect of my new home is perfect, including a reliable roof, so you don’t get water damage, although services like Water Damage Restoration Manalapan can hlep in case already happened.

The hunt for the best residential reroofing near me is on my checklist, alongside all the other finishing touches. If you need a free roofing estimate, you may get your quote now here. As I explore options for roofing upgrades, I’m also considering gutter guard installations to enhance the overall functionality of my home.

Moreover, I’ve completed the HVAC repairs, and I’m wondering, “Why is my furnace filter black?” Thankfully, I hired experts like the ones from heating and cooling columbus ohio. They did a great job with our hvac systems.

During this process, for my plumbing needs I considered hiring professionals from sites like https://callstevesplumbing.com/plumber-woodinville-wa/.

For expert electrical services like light switch installation, electrical repairs, etc., visit sites like https://callbrand.com/electrical/light-switch-installation/.

Taking the time to do some research on payday loans and financial advice companies really helped us speed up the process and make sure we where consulting on the right hands this very important family project for the future.

So things are almost done (thank goodness). It’s been 3 months and alot of work, time and money. It will be nice to enjoy it at long last!

GDAL 1.3.2 has been released. I especially like the MySQL and Idrisi support. Kudos to the development team!

OK, so I’ve finally started a blog. I’ve been meaning to do this for the longest time, but between house renovations, trying to figure out whether to use a hosted blog or host my own, this fell off my radar screen. Until my cousin started his own, then I just had to put one up.

So anyways, here I am. The rest of my website will remain and develop in the same way. I’ll use this blog to post my thoughts and random stuff from time to time. I’m a do-it-yourself kind of guy, but using blog software makes things really easy. Plus maintaing my old RSS feed by hand was becoming, well, cumbersome 🙂 So here we go!
