LINQ is the biggest pile of sh!t since SQL Management Studio.
To jump on the bandwagon or not? Hmm..

tired
miss home
I’m using an awesome USB device that lets me connect to the CDMA network here for some fairly decent internet while on the go. It’s sketchy in some areas but it’s otherwise pretty awesome. Even faster than the Sprint card back in the states.
I’m on the train heading out to Nha Trang right now. Almost [...]
Today was one of those days when everyone else is out partying and I’m left behind to work by myself. In my frantic scramble to get things done in time, I nearly gave myself an anxiety attack. You know that feeling when your heart beats fast, you breathe through your mouth only, and even forget [...]
Less than 2 weeks til I come home for a brief respite from the insanity of VN! Urban living, life in the fast lane, and Kyosaki’s “escaping the rat race” is fun and all but extremely taxing on mental stability.
New cravings abound: gym, caesar salad, crepe, Yardhouse.
I now have a foldout cot at the office. Great.
Interesting song.

I’m sick of all this waiting
And people telling me what I should be
What if I’m not so crazy
Maybe you’re the one that’s wrong, not me
So what you gonna do, what you gonna say
When we’re standing on top and do it our way
You say we got no future
You’re living in the past
So listen up, that’s [...]
sooner or later. hopefully sooner.
Tired. Few more weeks til home. I actually kind of look forward to the plane ride home. Hours of just zoning out, watching movies, read the book that I brought to VN but never had time to read, and maybe some sleep.
I heard my truck is having transmission problems. The front mudguard fell off. Tons [...]
Since we started our company, I have become a bit of an open source junkie in the tools that we find. Development costs are significantly decreased if you find the right tools. Take for example iTextSharp, an incredibly powerful open source PDF generator component for .NET. Not only is it amazingly simple to use, it [...]
I hit the gym and felt a slight tear towards the end, and now my right chest / shoulder aches incessantly. It’s been 4 days and the pain has only gotten worse, and range of motion in my right arm is severely limited. Life with one arm is sucky, considering it’s life on motorbike. I [...]
So it’s been a decade since I graduated high school. What happened to those letters we wrote to ourselves, that our teachers would promise to send to us 5 or 10 years later?
So in ‘99, where did I expect to see myself 10 years later? What did I expect to accomplish by then? I don’t [...]
I came across an mp3 today that reminded me of times way back when… this was my view for 9 months. Looking out my window at El Colegio Rd every morning, watching kids walk, bike, drive to school. But the most vivid memory of have of that year was how terribly sick I got and [...]
The 2008 holiday season has officially passed. And it passed by rather uneventfully as none of those days are particularly celebrated out here in Vietnam. But one perk is that there remains one giant holiday at the end of January. Chinese New Year should be exciting. I will be in Nha Trang with the family [...]
