Piano Recital
Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools. They are excited that they finish up in a week. I had a smooth trip into Boxborough listening to This Week in Google #99 along the way. Now enjoying my Bagel Day bagel and juice while triaging the overnight emails...
People belittle "Web Apps" as not being as intuitive and useful as dedicated standalone apps. I have to say though that using the Microsoft Outlook Web App often seems easier than using Outlook. Pop up menus, drag and drop, it's all there in a nice AJAX'y interface. I used my tower and Chrome with the Outlook web app to go through my email while my laptop was busy doing a fresh compile and test of the latest code drop. The cooling fans on my laptop are really cranking at the moment. I think the laptop might levitate soon.
Went with a friend from AMD's ATI division to Danielas Mexican for lunch.
Oracle seeks billions from Google in Java suit. This is one of the few things that bothers me about Java, or more accurately about Oracle.
Michelle is going to see her surgeon today to decide whether to attempt to remove the tumor before irradiating it. Main risk: Lymphedema.
At the piano recitals for Timothy and Claire. See snapshots below.
While Michelle took the rest of the kids home afterward, I took Claire and Timothy to Haywards Ice Cream for a strawberry banana shake to congratulate them on their recital performances.
Watching another episode of the sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" with Michelle as we go to bed. Did I mention that it's available via Netflix streaming? Good night all!
Snapshots I took today:
