In my last post I wrote what I planned on building for my home developer rig. A few changes were made. * I went with an extra hard drive and I will run RAID 0. * I measured the compartment in my desk where I planned on putting my case and lo and behold it was too small for the Antec case I Picked out...

In honor of Windows 7, and my increasing frustration with my 4 year old DELL computer, I figured I would pony up and build myself a nice developer rig. Even though it is my home computer my typical usage is work related; Visual Studio(s), SQL Server, IIS, Virtual Machines, etc... My wife's typical...

Almost two years after I thought about phasing out my online moniker I have done it. I have officially moved the carknee.com domain to seankearney.com. Redirects are in place and there shouldn't be any noticable change for the few people that read this site. The Feedburner feed is unchanged and will...

This is a follow up post to " Photo Management " on how I am starting to organize my digital images. After looking around at some of my options (Picasa, Adobe products, buying an iMac, …) I have decided to take the cheap way out. Here is my current workflow, which is a work in progress...

What sad news . LeRoi Moore, The Dave Matthews Band saxophonist has died. I have been a DMB fan since the mid ninetees when they first broke out and to be honest, they were all I listened to for many, MANY, years. I have slowly began to venture away from them over the last couple years, but to this day...

So, in my last post title, " My life may be forever different ," I shared with you that I am getting a dog. I did get the dog, and his name is Wilson . Has my life been changed, absolutely. Having Wilson has been a fun experience with its doses of pain and adjustment. But, I digress, this post isn't...

It is time for me to move on from my current employer . I have been with this company since 2000 (with a brief stint elsewhere) and it is really time to go. As is the case with most developers, if you don't learn new things on a daily basis your job can get pretty boring. I tried to keep myself going...

This past weekend, my wife and I took a trip out to New Jersey to go to an AKC dog show and meet with a dog breeder. While, for some, this may not be an event worthy of a blog post, for me however, it is a jaw dropper! My family is one big group (3 siblings) of non animal lovers. For me to go to a dog...

OK. So I have been in my house for a few weeks now, but I still don't have my home office setup the way I need it. I really need a hand trying to find a good desk that works well as a normal desk as well as a computer desk with my 2 monitors. The only real restrictions that I have is that: It needs to...

In my last post I mentioned that I am moving into my new house. I am living amongst boxes right now, but I am in. No new pics yet, but I will take some when we are settled. Right now we are getting furniture delivered and unpacking slowly. My desk, that I used in my old co-op, will not fit in my new...

My wife and I purchased a house in mid-December. The house needed a lot more work than we originally had expected, but we are winding down and moving in this weekend! The house is a 1950's 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch with a basement and 1.5 car garage. The house is rather small on a small lot (1/4 acre),...

Like most web developers (and other techie's out there) I like to get my holiday shopping done online. I hate the lines and crowds at brick and mortar stores, so online shopping really makes me a much easier person to be around this time of year. And with Google giving away money to use their Google...
