GMail now has support for themes to change the look and feel of their interface, something that has been speculated about for quite a while. I usually feel like theming and skinning are really cheesy “value add” items for service-based software, but there is something about the particular implementation that Google have chosen that make me dig it. You should try out the “Tree” theme at least once. It asks for the name of the city you live in and then bases the graphic of the theme upon the current weather in your area.
The Inquisitr put together a collage of some of the available themes, although the preview mode in the GMail interface is more than sufficient. I’ll bore with theming soon enough, but for now it’s cool and fun. I guess I’d never really thought that the GMail interface was ugly before, just functional, but now I do appreciate the touches of color and a crisper feel.

I downloaded the wpToGo app for my Google phone while waiting for my lunch to finish in the microwave and thought I’d test it out.
If this works then that means it took less than 4 mins to install, configure and post (according to the timer on the microwave).
Had a few minor issues that bumped the time up to 9 mins (had to enable xml-rpc access in my blog’s configuration)…but now I’ll try including a picture.

Last night, several of us from SoftSource went out for Lasertag at the Laserport of Beaverton. It was part of our SoftSource social Wednesday event. While we had a smaller turnout than at some of the previous events, we were able to get two great games in: one 3v3v3 and another 3v3 grudge match. I’d forgotten how energetic lasertag can be when you get in there, ducking and weaving, and this morning my quads are hurting from all the ducking down behind walls and firing at people.
It was great to get out with friends from work and compete with them like this. I was able to hold my own pretty well too, coming in #3 overall in the first game and then #1 overall in the second. It reminded me how much fun lastertag really is. I’m going to try to organize another trip there with another group of friends soon. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera last night - doh! So I’ve had to go with some stock photos from the laserport site.

Although the true address of this blog is http://blog.stuartthompson.net, there are several alternate URLs that you can use to get here:
All of the above links will redirect to this blog. It may seem like a strange setup, but there is actually some method to the madness. stuartthompson.net is my domain, not just my blog. I want to move to hosting a dashboard there that contains more than just blog entries, rather a aggregation of twitter, the blog, flickr, facebook, all of my social media presence in one location. However, as more and more of those services are added there is more information that is specific to me and less that is specific to both Meaghan and I. Meaghan has a separate twitter feed and flickr, for example, and might someday want a dashboard of her own. I’m integrating stuartthompson.name with this site too, as an alternate portal access location.
However, for stuartandmeaghan.* I thought that the most pertenant location was our group blog. I could actually host the blog at stuartandmeaghan.com, and I thought about that, but then realized that as Meaghs gets more into blogging she may well want a space of her own. She already has a space of her own on wordpress for our wedding blog. At some point if she wants a blog of her own, I would probably set it up at meaghanbrown.com or meaghanthompson.com once we are married. Something personal to her. For now, I host the blog at stuartthompson.net but have the group urls redirect there. It made me realize in our age of permanence and location on the web that the tradition of having women who marry change their last name causes them quite a problem. I’ll always be Stuart Thompson, so accounts on facebook, twitter, flickr, etc… where I can grab stuart.thompson, stuartthompson, sthompson or some other variation will always be in one place. Anything registered to Meaghan Brown or any derivative might either a) have to change after we marry or b) stay with her maiden name (which introduces it’s own problems). Either way, there is going to be difficulty for some people in finding her online profiles after we are married. I wonder how many Web 2.0 companies have planned for this in their products. It would be nice to see a “my name changed, now what?” use case in their UI. I haven’t really researched it as the thought only occured to me recently, so it might already exist. Either way, I think it has to be a use-case that is accounted for as web 2.0, social media, and online presence become increasingly important.

@codinghorror (a.k.a. Jeff Attwood) twittered a link this morning about drug deals and prostitution rings using craigslist for distribution. It’s at times like this I feel so unaware of the criminal underworld:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/11/17/2008-11-17_drug_dealers_doing_roaring_trade_on_crai.html
I think the part that amazes me the most is that a felon with a record gets caught having used a halfway-house computer to deal drugs through the craigslist website, pleads guilty, and then ends up with 3-6 months in jail; a sentence I’m assured will probably end up being more like 6-8 weeks. While I’m sure jail is extremely unpleasant, that doesn’t seem like much of a deterrant for someone who would so blatantly break the law even after having previously being prosecuted for armed robbery. What are the odds than in about 8-10 weeks time he’ll be dealing drugs again, ruining other lives, starting another cycle for people to have to clean up?

I finally was able to emerge from under the large pile of work that has been crushing me on my project lately. Due to an unfortunate confluence of events I ended up holding the baby on two major areas of our project for which the original developer was no longer present. Worse than that, I’ve had to come up to speed on the work inside of a week during the same week that they are launching their functionality. Needless to say that every issue that came up was marked “URGENT, EMERGENCY, CHILDREN ARE DYING” and demanded my undivided attention until the next issue came along. It’s exhausting to work like that for more than a few days and as such my other projects (such as this blog) are in desperate need of some TLC.
Hopefully this will be the last crisis on this project: only 14 business days to go!

I found my theme! Woohoo. I missed the Andreas04 from WordPress.com as it didn’t come standard with the self-hosted version so I thought I’d have to either craft my own or find another new theme I liked. Fortunately, thanks to Tara’s site I was able to get a copy of the theme and install it on my new site. Happy again!

Thank you for your continued patience as I finally finish migrating my blog to its permanent home. I now have Wordpress installed on my own host and it’s up and running. Yup, you’re in a different place and probably didn’t even know it. The theme and layout will change slightly as the free Wordpress hosting has different themes than the version you host yourself. However, now I have unlimited space and don’t have to worry about hitting limits on my account about the number of pictures I can upload etc… It also means I can do much cooler things with the site.
I should have the remainder of the 2008 posts imported within the next couple of weeks.

Ted Murphy wrote an excellent post on 10 reasons to love a downturn.
I especially like “Spend time with your family and friends. Enjoy each other and create a support network to get through to better financial times.” What a great perspective.

Meaghs’ mom and sister were in town for the weekend to attend the Portland Bridal Show. They stayed with us on Friday and Saturday night and then attended the show most of Saturday prior to a shopping spree at the Lloyd Center mall.
They spent most of Friday shopping at Washington Square mall and both Meaghan and Mandy managed to find shoes for the wedding. Woohoo! I didn’t get to see much of them that night. I’m starting a new project for my employer and working on the planning and legal stuff for that. Then I had beers planned with Mark for after work. I came home a couple of pints for the better! Fortunately we were still able to share dinner and a few glasses of wine before turning in for the night. It was nice to get the chance to catch up. I could tell that Meaghs had a blast shopping with them both; so nice for her to get some girl time to spend checking out all of the stores!
I spent most of Saturday reading about the Apache web server and researching Ruby on Rails. I decided to take a look at how the open source world lives. Then on Saturday evening I joined Relentless on a very successful raid through Zul’Aman; I even got a new dagger!
All in all, a pretty cool (if busy) weekend!

@janetleejohnson pointed me at the Portland Tech Twitter list on AboutUs this morning. It’s basically a wiki page listing of tech tweeps in PDX. Very cool idea and a great index for new people I might be interested in following. Adding yourself to the list is faily easy too. There are some great instructions here. For those wondering how to format the information, here is what I added to include myself in the list:
:[http://www.twitter.com/stuartthompson @stuartthompson] - [[Stuart Thompson]]
::Software architect, consultant for Microsoft-based enterprise solutions. [http://stuartthompson.wordpress.com Blog] | [http://stuartthompsontech.wordpress.com Tech Blog]
The first part :[http://www.twitter.com/stuartthompson @stuartthompson] - [[Stuart Thompson]] includes a link to my twitter profile but is displayed as my name.
The second part ::Software architect, consultant for Microsoft-based enterprise solutions. includes a brief description of who I am.
The third part [http://stuartthompson.wordpress.com Blog] | [http://stuartthompsontech.wordpress.com Tech Blog] includes links to both this blog and my tech blog.
You can use the template above to include your own information by just tweaking the relevant parts. Note that the colons are important. They are part of the formatting syntax for the wiki.

Tonight marks the two-year anniversary of Meaghan and I being together. It was on this day two years ago that we enjoyed a lovely meal at a local French restaurant before heading to a cocktail bar for midnight bellinis. Meaghan and I fell in love on that first date and have been together ever since. It’s been a wonderful twenty-four months and I look forward to us spending the rest of our lives together.
To many more like this!

I was reading the news this morning when I came across this article on the Discovery channel site: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/10/20/yeti-footprints-nepal.html
It never ceases to amaze me the typographical errors that pass editing on mainstream websites. Doesn’t the Discovery channel provide a service to educate others, particularly younger children? In the modern online publishing world there are a whole host of utilities and services at your fingertips that are designed directly to avoid this type of error. Even as I typed the word abomidable into WordPress, it underlined it with a little red squiggly. I tried to contact them about the error lest the abomidation continue but I was unable to post a comment on the entry and could find neither sight nor sound of a contact form or email address.

On our second Relentless raid into The Eye we managed to not only one-shot Void Reaver, but also one-shotted High Astromancer Solarian on what was only our guild’s third attempt. Pictures to follow tonight when I can get them uploaded from my desktop machine at home.
After killing Astromancer we took a peek at Kael’thas. We were able to kill his four advisors but the weapons in phase 2 simply tore us apart. It’s a complicated fight and one that will take quite a bit of practice but for now it was great to make more progress into the tier 5 raids. Congratulations Relentless on another guild first kill!

Meaghan and I chat with my folks over the internet about once a month. For the last year we’ve put up with the bugged and flawed experience of MSN Messenger, working around audio delay, dropped calls, and frozen video problems. This morning we switched over to Skype and what a difference! We’ve been aware of Skype for a while. I’ve been using it on and off since I was in college. However, we’d stuck by the principle that if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it. MSN Messenger finally qualified as “broken enough” to switch.
The Skype call quality is superb, the video degrades and upgrades as the connection quality comes in and out but I’d much prefer a graceful degradation to a dropped call. Even over the wireless network, the connection quality was amazing. I was able to give my parents a tour of our house by connecting on our laptop and just wandering around.
Good to see my folks- great to see and hear them clearly!

I was browsing the NFL website today, checking out the games for tomorrow. The Steelers are playing the Bengals, which as a predominantly Steelers household should be a good game for us. However, looking over the stats for the Steelers I ran across an example of a pet peeve of mine.
There is a little table showing their standing in the AFC North that shows their wins, losses, and win %. The Steelers have won 4, lost 1, but show a win % of 0.800. I don’t think that’s really what they mean. A value of 0.8% is a pretty small number of games to have won. What they really mean is 80%, but instead they’ve mixed up two different mathematical concepts.
The value 0.8 is the multiplier used to calculate how many games they’ve won out of the total number of games they’ve played. i.e. 5 games played * 0.8 = 4 games won. That is not the same thing as 0.8% which is what the table actually cites. If they’d won 0.8% of 5 games, then they would only have 0.04 of a game; or about 2 minutes and 24 seconds of game time. I know they’ve won more than that!
Pedantic? Yes. However, this pet peeve of mine crops up in more than just NFL statistics. Consistency and precision are key when it comes to defining concepts, especially mathematical concepts. Saying that the steelers have a 0.8% win record is a highly inaccurate statement.
Why is it important?
Consider for a moment that a fast food vendor put out an advert for:
Cheeseburgers: 0.99¢
Is that really what they mean? Each cheeseburger costs less than a penny? If so then surely people would walk up with a dollar bill, buy 100 cheeseburgers and then set up a food cart right next door selling them for a dollar a piece. Legally the advertisement would have to stand. People are purchasing the cheeseburgers for the advertised price of 0.99¢. What they really mean is either 99¢ OR $0.99 but you can’t mix the two together.
The NFL folks probably figured that 80 wasn’t an informative number for most people in that table. However, the number 0.800 as win ratio multiplier probably felt confusing too, so instead they just mixed their definitions to get the best of both worlds. While most people who read this will probably think “Oh let it go you pedantic git”, I think it is fundamental that we retain precision when describing quantities.
Percent means “out of 100″
Per - cent. Cent is a latin rooted word for 100. It’s where we get words like centurion, century, and centimeter. Per means “for each” or “for every”. Therefore percent means per hundred. Eighty percent means that per hundred games the Steelers have won eighty. If five games have been played then an 80% win rate dictates that 4 have been won so far. 100/80 == 5/4.
Does it really matter?
When the Hubble telescope was first launched there was a problem discovered with it’s mirror; it had been cut to the wrong shape. It was off by less than a millimeter but it was a lack of correctness in the terms and definitions used that led to the $1.5 billion problem.
If I was to place a bet on the Steelers to win tomorrow, and the odds for the bet were calculated based upon the Steelers having 0.8% chance to win (i.e. a very small chance to win indeed) then I could make a lot of money! The bookie would give me great odds on such a long-shot when in reality I know that the Steelers have a very good chance of crushing the Bengals. What if your bank calculated their odds with fuzzy math too? That wouldn’t work very well at all. ;)

It’s Friday morning, I’m getting ready to go into the morning standup meeting for our project, and I’m in a really great mood. My parents just got back from visiting Menorca, a beautiful little island off the southern coast of Spain. The Warcraft patch 3.x is live and we’re less than a month away from the release of the Wrath of the Lich King. We had a shaky start to our Zul’Aman run last night but then ended up scoring a guild first kill on both Jan’alai and Hex Lord Malacrass. Our project at work is going very well. We’re way ahead of schedule and QA is finding only a handful of tiny issues for us to fix. Next week will mark the two-year anniversary our first date together, when I met the girl of my dreams and my life forever changed for the better. I’m listening to one of my favorite albums of all time: Queen’s Sheer Heart Attack (there simply isn’t a bad song on the entire album and it still feels like cutting edge material today). We have a busy social schedule for October and now even parts of November. All in all, life is good.

I was talking with a friend of mine after writing my last blog post. We talked about the presidential race, the current economic crisis, and the banks in Iceland, among a smattering of other popular topics of current interest. My friend, when presented with a verbal painting of potentially impending doom, responded “Does it really matter?” I think this speaks truthfully to the apathy partially responsible for our current plight.
Presidents come and go. Political and economic policy sails in and out and the majority of people are none the wiser. “Yeah, that was a bad policy or a bad time, but we’ll come through it, everything will be ok.” Now I’m not proferring that the end of the world is currently rolling up our driveways, but I have to take a stance of “Yes, it does fucking matter! It affects billions of people on a daily basis.” It makes me wonder if the last twenty years have been altogether too shielded from harm. We’ve never truly seen consequences for our actions or for our apathy.
Most people look at global warming with an “oh yeah, is that still going on?” sort of attitude. The economic crisis is “scary” and everyone “knows someone” who is having problems with their mortgage payments or retirement plans. However, the overarching response I seem to get from people on these topics is a look of general boredom and an expression similar to the vocalized phrase of my friend: “Does it really matter?”
Well, to the people in Iceland right now: it matters.
To the people in California leaving everything in their homes for a “trash out” team to throw into a dumpster: it matters.
More subtly, for all of us who might suffer under another ignorant and uneducated administration: it matters.
I am sick to death with the apathy, opinions of entitlement, and complete lack of self-responsibility that I have observed over the last decade. The world does not revolve on a wheel made of gold. Sooner or later, no matter how many government bailouts and social blinders we employ, the consequences of our apathy and greed are going to affect us all. The worst part of it all is that most people agree on a foolproof method for determining when it matters:
as soon as it starts affecting you.

I’ve been on the fence about the upcoming presidential race and have until now held off posting about politics on my blog. Not because I don’t have political views or an interest in the political process nor is it from fear of expressing my opinion. Until now, I have stayed out of posting about this political process simply because it has taken me a couple of months to become informed enough about the candidates to have an opinion. I didn’t know enough about Obama, Biden, McCain, or Palin. So I have spent the last two months researching, reading, watching, listening, and thinking.
It is hard to get to the truth in the political process. The candidates are masters of presentation, conversation, and in many ways of deception. Words are prepared, researched, and twisted to paint particular points in a favorable or unfavorable light as is desired at the time. In other words, the trust is abstracted and twisted such that the discussion at hand is less about fact and opinion, and more about eloquence and spin. I entered my campaign of research expecting that it would be difficult to really weigh in on a preference because my own views often fall squarely in between those of others, and I find there are both many Republic and Democratic traits and views that I support or disagree with. What I was surprised to find was that one of the presidential offerings was so way off base, so incompetent for the position as to make the “choice” between them moot. This is simply about escorting the limp horse off the track to prevent it from causing injury either to itself or to those around it.
I have decided that the McCain/Palin ticket is an epic FAIL. I’m not saying I’m 100% behind Obama or the democrats. I’m something of a Demolican Republicrat because I find plusses and minuses on both sides. However, where Obama represents a mixture of good and bad, the McCain/Palin ticket is simply horrifying.
They both demonstrate a level of incompetence and ignorance that fills me with fear. I wouldn’t trust them as far as to park my car let alone run a country. I share two of the latest in a long list of items that truly make me hold my head in my hands and wonder how these people even received a nomination.
http://crooksandliars.com/2008/09/11/john-mccain-stumbles-badly-after-being-asked-if-palin-has-national-security-experience-energy/
http://blog.indecision2008.com/2008/10/10/energy-specialist-sarah-palin-believes-congress-bans-oil-exports/
Think about it. This is truly frightening. My name is Stuart Thompson, I’m a Software Architect and I spend about 10 hours a week reading current affairs publications and other news sources because I’m interested in the world around me. I spend about another 10 hours a week (in addition to the 50 I work) focusing on technical learning and growth because that is the field that pays my bills; it is my specialization. My full time job and personal life fill the remainder of the time.
If I was paid to spend my time working directly in current affairs and the political destiny of our nation, I would be considerably more informed upon these issues. Why then, dear reader, is a dank looking hatchery chicken nicknamed Chloe who has spent the majority of its existence laying eggs in a cage more informed on energy policy that our potential future vice president of the United States? That is hyperbole for sure but it illustrates the root of what I have come to fear in the Republican party’s offering for this year.
Thus I have come to decide that whether or not I agree with the policies and views of a particular party, the most important tenet of a candidate is whether they are even familiar with the information they need to make good decisions in the first place. If they aren’t even equipped with that information then the decision they want to make is irrelevant. Whether or not I agree with their intended direction means absolutely NOTHING. The first step in fixing our energy/economy/unemployment/war crisis is knowing where we even stand.
[Roleplay]: “You’re the expert on energy; more informed than anyone else in the U.S. and you don’t know our own federal policy on oil exports?” “You’re fired. Collect your belongings and leave the building.”
If I didn’t know the basics in my position, I would be let go by my employer. That’s how it works. We trade you money for your time and expertise. No knowledge, no paycheck, capiche? Go back to grade school and try not to eat the books this time.
So after months of reading, referencing, watching, listening, and thinking, I have decided that in this race I support Senators Barack Obama and Joseph Biden for president in 2008. I don’t agree with everything they have to say, but at least I can rest assured that it is informed and that when they make a decision, the intent of their decision can be trusted.
Ending on a lighter note, I have to present that the following is simply the best depiction of the upcoming race that I have seen. Clean, crisp, and straight to the point:

I added a link to our public free/busy information calendar to the sidebar. This link does not expose event information, however if you are planning events with us it should be useful to see the times when Meaghan and I are available. This page uses the Google Calendar service to retrieve the event data. Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think.
I’m still deciding upon a final calendaring and organization solution. I’ve been using my TMobile MDA to organize my calendar for the last couple of years. It integrates with the Exchange server at SoftSource (my employer), which means all of my work meetings are automatically synchronized. However, I’m finding that I’d prefer a little more control over my own calendar without reliance upon the “email server at work”. If I were to change employers then retrieving all of that information could be difficult. Furthermore, I’ve never really felt comfortable putting my personal appointments on my work calendar. I’m giving the Google calendar application a good test as it seems the most promising so far. Easy to update and very easy to sychronize with using the iCal format. I’ll give it another six months to see how well it meets our needs.

‘Twas the night before patch day, and all through the realm,
Not an item was dropping, not even a helm;
The toons were all resting, asleep in their beds,
with visions of new talents filling their heads.
From two in the morning, till two in the aft,
the Blizzard employees installed their new patch.
They worked and they toiled through bugs and through lags,
trying to roll out the content they had.
But the servers, like beasts, would boot and then fail,
the mobs all evading in Stranglethorn Vale;
and just as the night seemed to proffer despair,
the Azeroth they knew came alive with new flair:
A harbor in Stormwind,
new routes by the sea.
More items to craft,
and a new loading screen!
There was only one job that was yet to be done,
to make it all right when the players did come.
The Blizz guy updated the greeting with glee:
“Happy Patchday to all, please welcome patch three.”

I don’t take a lunchtime break because I prefer to work the 7:00am - 3:00am shift and get a good chunk of my afternoon to enjoy the sun or take care of weekday errands. The traffic is much lighter, I spend less in gas because I’m not stuck in stop n’ go and I get a nice chunk of afternoon back. However, I do still take one of my 15 minute break periods to fit in a lunchtime walk and clear my head a little. Over the last few months I’ve been increasing the length of my walk as I get more familiar with it and of course get a little faster at the route.
This is my current route. I’ve added three blocks since I first started doing it and I already feel a little fitter as a result. I’ve still got a long way to go in terms of getting back in shape, but the daily walks have been helping a ton. I’m hoping that I can enjoy the route for another couple of months before the really cold weather kicks in. I’ll still take my walks, they just won’t quite be the same without the sun shining and the birds singing. Speaking of which, I’m going to head out and take one right now.

We had a spectacular success this weekend in The Eye. In only our second attempt on Void Reaver we took him down smoothly. The Void Reaver fight is basically a big game of dodgeball. All 25 of your raiders spread out around the circumference of a large circular room. Throughout the fight, Void Reaver will hurl balls of arcane energy at a couple of raiders at once. Fortunately he aims at your feet, so if a ball of arcane energy is heading in your direction you move out to the edge of the room, let it land, and then get back in. Other than that it’s a fairly simply tank and spank.
Congratulations to all of Relentless! This is great progression and was a wonderful night both for loot and, more importantly, for fun. We had two good shots on High Astromancer Solarian but eventually just ran out of time. We’ll be back next Sunday to progress further, this time with Meaghan leading us into battle.
Kaliyah, Agizett, and Vaelorna (me) all got their T5 shoulder tokens, which turn into Mantle of the Corruptor for me and the Rift Stalker Mantle for both Giz and Kali. The T5 shoulders are definitely an upgrade over my Merciless Gladiator’s Dreadweave Mantle for raiding, plus it’s just so cool to have the real thing instead of the wellfare arena reward alternative.
Until next week…enjoy your time Solarian. Relentless are coming for you!
