A few observations...

UA few observations (er, rambling rantings)..

  • 14+ hour work days are not conducive to regular blogging or newsgroup monitoring
  • IE7 (b3) is swell. I'm now using it for most of my browsing instead of Firefox.  Too bad its extensibility is not to the level of Firefox (or the same level of ease).
  • Rational ClearCase is evil. Oh, the ClearCase client for VS2005 behaves very badly if VS.NET2003 is installed on the same box as VS2005.
  • The new "puffer" machines (aka GE EntryScan ion tracking portals) in the security area at CVG really b0rk  the whole security process. Rather, the process around them is b0rked. If you're flying out of CVG, give yourself extra time.  Another viewpoint on them at a different airport.
  • The TSA needs to look up the word "consistency" (I came to this conclusion a long time ago).
  • I really need to get more sleep. On the next project.. er, wait, I said that last time..

Update
I'm working to get some sort of balance given my challenging schedule; however, I clearly violated the "Don't blog tired" rule...

Ditto... I think it was the time that my credit card sized personal care kit was confiscated that really pissed me off.  Apparently the the eighth-inch length on the cuticle scissors were deemed dangerous.  The great part was that it was confiscated in early 2005 - only 4 or so years after 9/11 and hundreds of flights later.  The *** weed that took it hadn't read his own guidelines that clearly stated it was fine (http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1012.shtm).  Makes me think I should bring a printed copy.
