I’ve switched

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 25 February 2004, 7:16 pm

In 1997, Bill Gates made a visit to Barnes and Noble. He wasn’t buying books, he was visiting with the guys who ran BarnesAndNoble.com. After that meeting, they switched from their Solaris-based platform to Microsoft servers. I was working at Firefly in 1997 and Barnes and Noble was our current big customer. To keep our …

Videos worth Viewing

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 21 February 2004, 9:58 am

Video on the net is always iffy. When I’m in interactive mode, stopping to sit and watch a tiny video is hardly worth it. Lately I’ve found a few which are worth the effort: Sacramento TV News Report on Geocaching If you still don’t get Geocaching (or know someone else who doesn’t), this video is …

101 Reasons Not to Work at Yahoo!

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 20 February 2004, 6:00 pm

I love working at Yahoo!, but it seems lately that Yahoo! is creating more and more reasons not to do work while I’m here. There’s the free, very nice gym for one. Personally I’ve never stepped foot in it, but lots of people do use it. They offer classes in yoga, aerobics, volleyball tournaments, and …

I want my $3.24 and 45 minutes back

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 18 February 2004, 6:49 pm

Dear Fry’s Electronics, I would like my $3.24 and 45 minutes back. Yesterday I went to your store in Sunnyvale. All I wanted was a male-to-male DIN-9 null modem adapter so I can connect my GPS to my Treo. That’s all. Since you’re THE nerd haven, carrying everything from resistors to deodorant, I thought of …

I can’t cook

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 14 February 2004, 7:55 pm

I think that if I wasn’t married, I’d starve. The other day I decided to have some fish sticks. Fish sticks. Just stick em in the oven for a few minutes and eat them. I put them in, then came back later to find them rock-hard. Overcooked. The french fries I made with them were …

I’m packing heat

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 11 February 2004, 5:53 pm

You can never be too prepared in the 10th safest city in America. After a recent distressing incident, I decided it was time to arm myself. So if anytime things aren’t bending your way, I’m now your gun for hire. Especially if you need something heated to 760 OR 920 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s right, I …

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 10 February 2004, 10:48 pm

I’ve finally found it – the most obnoxious personal home page in existence. Oh boy. Bonus points to the first person to identify the midi song.

Meetings on the West Coast

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 10 February 2004, 9:01 pm

One thing I’ve never really gotten used to on the west coast is how people go to meetings. Today was a perfect example. I had a meeting at 1 pm and I arrived a few minutes early, because that’s what you do when attending meetings with people from the east coast. There were some people …

In light of recent events

Posted by Jeff Boulter on 4 February 2004, 10:53 am

In light of recent events, I think it can be finally proven that Michael and Janet Jackson are NOT the same person. Then again, maybe Michael has had more surgery than just his nose… Traffic hit an all-time high on news on Monday. A little nudity goes a long way.
