By Tamera, on May 11th, 2010% Well there is a lot of esplainin’ to do Lucy. I miss blogging, I hate my blog’s look, I don’t have time to figure out how to make it pretty and I can’t find someone to pay. So there you have the answer to the mystery of where I have been.
NOW here we go starting back out with a blog series just for this little trip to Florida. Let me tell you how it began. KLT mentioned that @nasa was doing a tweetup for the upcoming launch and that we should register, but they were only taking 150. He said we’d leave it in God’s hands. I saw the . . . → Read More: STS-132 Atlantis Last Ride – PRE my departure post
By Tamera, on September 11th, 2009% Just recently I decided to really get serious about my blog again. I picked up some great ideas from Brent Ozar when he did an entire series on blogging. Awesome now I have some new tools and it’s time to start working out a new design. Before I could get started I was asked to write a blog post for the Lafayette Twestival. I was honored and scared to death. Me, a guest blogger? Much to my surprise I found it easy to write, so much so I had to leave things out and even not mention people that I adore. So here it is, but keep coming back because soon you . . . → Read More: Special Guest
By Tamera, on April 6th, 2009% I am pretty sure that there are a couple of companies out there that just know how to pull my credit card out of my pocket and get me to hit check out. SanDisk knows the way to this girls hear OMG buy 3 SD cards, free shipping and mail in rebate. Earlier in 2008 SanDisk ran a sale on 4 gb cards, I bought 3 and got a $75 rebate. So honestly I am pretty set on SD cards I have 3-4gb cards, a 2 gb and 2- 1 gb cards. Wonder what happened when right before Christmas I got an email alerting me about a 3 card deal . . . → Read More: Product Review – SanDisk 8gb SD cards – OH HELL YEAH!
By Tamera, on March 7th, 2009% Oh I am going to go ahead and post two post in one day because 1. this is funny 2. I am terribly behind and 3. it’s my blog and I said so.
Last night around 6:30 pm I lost my connection to the outside world. OH NOES that can’t happen! KLT was on he phone and we worked through troubleshooting the DC, which had died. That didn’t solve my problem. After a good 30 minutes it was determined that Comcast was no longer giving me an IP address. So I decide to run over to the neighbors and check to see if they are still connected to make . . . → Read More: a tale of internet tech support

So amongst my deliveries the other day I received my package from monoprice.com Included were 2 more HDMI cables, a auto charger for the Sansa and a external HD enclosure for a 2.5″ lappy drive. I have now on more than one occasion needed to gather data off when the machine had died or the boot partition croaked. Since I was ordering a replacement HDMI cable and a cable for a friend I decided to check out monoprice and see if they had any ribbon cables or hell just anything to salvage my data. They had this little number who’s comments were “concerning” (cheap and plastic) but for the 1 . . . → Read More: Product Review – Lappy drive enclosure

By Tamera, on August 16th, 2008% I have been a little side tracked this week, there is just a lot going on. I have been testing an application and having to do things out of order. Also had to let someone know at the exact moment that I broke anything due to the timing and urgency. This means that my test summary document will be incredibly screwed up. But I did find something really interesting. Our security department implemented a new auth page to run on Apache Tomcat, that’s really nice of them. It’s called CAS auth. Well funny some moron decided to set the login to only >2 are valid. Nice since about 64 . . . → Read More: it’s saturday
By Tamera, on August 13th, 2008% So there is a flood light, actually a pair at the corner of my house in the back yard. I have been here for 4 years now and have never been able to figure out how to turn it on. Sure I found a random light switch that did nothing but I never figured out this light. New bulbs and everything. GUESS WHAT?! Tonight as I walked into the house the light came on and I was able to turn it off and on with the random switch. Please pray that I don’t burn up in a house fire tonight. Thanks.

By Tamera, on July 9th, 2008% A short while back some krannert guy decided that in order to create a better work enviroment and have a team of high performers we needed to rank our employees. While this strategy has worked for many years successfully at many companies success is entirely dependant on implementation. Guess what itap does poorly? Give up? IMPLEMENTATION! Yet again we have implemented something, sucked at it and created more heartache than good.
First our super duper non-elected VP (recenlty changed to exectutive director) decided that the bottom 10% was not enough we need to list our bottom 20% or something stupid like that. But the real problem lies in the top . . . → Read More: The top 10
By Tamera, on June 10th, 2008% Ok well here we are on the glorious flight from IND to MCO. Well little did I know that leaving in the middle of the afternoon was a bad idea. Why? Well that is the “family” departure time. I shall never book flights at this time again. And for those of you who thought of this and ddin’t mention it a flight to Orlando is a flight full of CHILDREN. You know my rules about only bringing as many kids as you have adults. That is also now a rule of flying. HAHAHHAH! So far they are quiet, with the exception of the singing and . . . → Read More: Last Night
