Blog

I do not have a blog for the following reasons:

• I have a wife to talk to so I don't have much need to drone on boringly into the void of the Internet.
• My life is rather uneventful, so there is really nothing anyone would like to read about.
• Security officers with the U.S. Navy told me that my previous blog could be a threat to national security and threatened me with the Patriot Act
• Of all the entries in my previous blog, the only one that got any hits was the one that was a possible threat to national security. So, that is the only entry I have decided to keep online...

In the few weeks that I've worked with him, I have found that he is completely unable to program in any of the required languages, he knows very little about installing software on a computer, and his knowledge of database administration is limited to what the paperclip guy in MS Access can tell him to do. Further investigation has dug up that he was a telephone support person for a software company, but I don't know how he lost his job. After that, he worked in retail sales at a national men's clothing store. Then, he woke up one day and decided he was a Senior Software Engineer. He flubbed an application to a government contractor, got hired, and is now in charge of this project. If I could just place my finger on what is worrying me about this project...
