I purchased an HTC Dream running Android 1.1 from TeleChoice Eastgardens. I was very pleased - Casey was a pleasure to talk to whilst setting my account up and porting my number between carriers.

Today I took a look at Acquia's website. They do commercial Drupal support. It is my hope to one day be bigger and better than they are. It's a dream, and it might not happen if carneekinet change's direction.

Netcat is an awesome utility. With nc(1) you can send and receive data over TCP or UDP using pipes (as in STDIN/STDOUT).

What does this mean to the layperson running *nix? It means quick and easy file transfers without having to set up anything up. One command for the sender, and one for the receiver. To nerds, this means all manners of wonderful scripting possibilities.

Well - I think I just set a personal record in theming.

Recently I had to justify to a potential client why the estimate of hours doubled. I budgeted about 20% of the time for meetings.

So I've finally created yet-another-blog. The twist on it, is that it's mine.
