David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Man, I have totally neglected this blog of late. I have been pretty diligent about updating the sidebar though. I added a new feature, the daily links, that are simply links to page I've found while browsing. And I reworked the flickr stuff to only display my most recent "best of" photos on this page.
Anyway, since most of what I do is work, I think I'm going to do a series of posts about work. I'm going to be careful here and not give too much aside from general impressions away, but I have two topics in mind. The first one (which I'll be posting as soon as this is done) will discuss how to be a highly skilled, but ultimately unsuccessful software engineer. (Hint: there are some things that are more important than an in-depth knowledge of the latest open-source framework). I think I'll also put up a post on how to run an unsuccessful project. (Hint: gathering requirements is the key to success.)
As I was typing this I had two of my afternoon meetings canceled, so I might have time to also throw out some details about the Great Roommate Swap of 2005. But maybe I should do the work that I'm getting paid to do instead.
