But I didn't want to be *that* much of a geek, so I went to lawschool instead.  Nobody ever gave me a speech about why I shouldn't be in law school though.  And it turns out I make a damn fine lawyer.   

Don't you think that sending people to gaol is a bit Machiavellian?

Only if you do it right.

Senator Ensign isn't running in 2012. Maybe we'll get Angle to run again and have the GOP lose a seat.

I think I'm morphing into a developers. Slowly.

I've had a few forays into php and Java myself. Yick.

I like Java so far. But I don't know how much of that is actually "I like eclipse" more then "I like java"

I don't like Python.

For the curious, my prediction is this. The nominees for each side will be Dean Heller and Shelley Berkley. Berkley represents the strip in the HoR and has a long history of supporting veterans. The big casinos will almost certainly support her and she'll get to use Harry Reid's GOTV organization. That will make the polls end up closer than it looks like. Heller is the former Nevada Sec of State and currently my US congressman (Nev. #2). He's a fairly conventional GOP nice-guy candidate who doesn't really irritate anyone and will probably lead in the polls the whole way. He originally took over the seat in congress (that was vacated when Jim Gibbons became Governor) by beating the now-infamous Sharron Angle in the 2006 primary.


I will be very surprised if one of those two is not the next Senator. The off-hand alternative I can think of might be Dina Titus for the Dems--she's out of work atm because her suburban Vegas congressional seat was taken by the GOP in the last wave.

Java makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.
I loved basic back in college, javascript was fun. Then it came to java...I was turned off programming.

Everybody and their dead grandmothers has some sort of IT cert. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one.

Enough about computers and programming, let's go back to fun stuff.

I've changed my avatar for one of the first ever times. Time for a new look, methinks.

I've been back in the US for just a week and I feel like I'm stuck in Limbo.

Told you not to leave.

Things still not too good at the home front.  Sister needs to have her Gall bladder taken out this week.  Internet connections still shaky.
