Recently, Jeff Atwood posted the following article talking about throwing hardware at a programming problem.

I have to say, I agree as I’m sure many others do as well.

One thing that you have to realize as a manager is the talent that you have on staff. If you happen to have 3 rookie programmers, there is a good chance that throwing hardware will not fix the issue. It will only disguise it for a while longer until you add enough users on the system that it rears its ugly head again.

Having dealt with my fair share of timezone issues while programming, I find leap year issues really funny. Thank you Microsoft for starting off my year with a laugh.

I’ve decided to finally cut the cord and combine my personal blog back into the main usrlocal.com blog. usrlocal.com lost its focus for a while and I wanted to get back to talking about technology, tips and tricks and doing some software reviews. It had unfortunately become a story reposting site with a few comments from me on rare occasions. You can get that information else where.

So here it is, in all its glory. Unfortunately, there will be a few RSS feeds that will be broken most likely. I’ll do what I can in order to send those on to the correct places in the next couple of days.

If you are looking for a highly addictive fun game, I suggest you check out Frenzic. Frenzic is brought to you by The Iconfactory and ARTIS Software. You may recognize The Iconfactory as they are well known for bringing the iPhone world Twitterrific. And once again they have delivered a kick ass application!

This game is fast paced, frantic and I can’t stop playing it. Its pretty simple to play. Think of it as Tetris played with the games pieces from Trivial Pursuit. You get a pie piece of a certain color and must put it in one of the 6 open circles. If you match all the colors in the circle, you score higher points.

No, not about me….or Blair.

Avalanche captain Joe Sakic will be sidelined at least three months, the team said this morning, after he suffered three broken fingers and tendon damage following an accident at his home involving a snowblower.

Sakic underwent surgery with a local hand specialist Tuesday night, the team said. Sakic suffered the injury Tuesday afternoon at his home. Sakic already was on injured reserve with a herniated disc in his back before the snowblower accident.
