I know, I know, that’s not a big deal considering I’m part owner in a computer store.

Nah, I know, it’s pretty.

# UPDATE: This is outdated due to the release of Capistrano 2… I will work on a new tutorial as soon as I have a project I need to deploy… 1-10-08 All righty then.

A must read on my mom’s blog.

My team at SabreTech has been busy building their own personal blogs!

I’ve been using a winxp box in my living room for some time now, and while it works really well, I do find it lacking.

Ok, I’ve setup quite a few Macs for friends and clients, tweaking things (even starting with a fresh install and only installing the necessary components, without any extra bloat), installing useful utilities, and arranging things to maximize workflow.

I’m married!!!

Wow, in preparation for our open house this weekend we have been on a mad spree: remodeling the office, making line cards, new business cards, gift certificates, new tables and chairs, AND a NEW WEBSiTE!!!

I’m getting married August 2nd on a beach in Florida… …nuf said

When we bought SabreTech, Brad and I had our phone service changed and found out a nice little policy of ATT (SBC at the time)… We were paying for a static IP address, which means our internet address won’t change on a day to day, year to year basis… But…

Our wedding has been postponed temporarily, I will let everyone know as soon as we have a new date.

I know I know, I market the heck out of JonMagic, but today it’s official… I got my first credit card in the mail with the name Jon Magic on it 😃 …nuf said

I’ve got 6 computers, in 2 states, across 4 clients, all shutting down or restarting randomly… This started happening about 3 weeks ago.

Two years ago while on vacation in Florida I had an epiphany, one of those moments where something just comes to you, and it feels so right.

I’ve been eyeing the Buffalo Terastation for awhile now, lots of storage in a nice little package.

What a great year!

I started using clearcheckbook.com about a month ago and have found it an excellent way to keep track of my spending and account balances.

Not that anyone cares, but I thought I’d post my current computer setup, hardware and software… # The Hardware I’m the kinda guy that enjoys the bleeding edge (first Mac was an 867mhz PB), so five days after Apple released the new Macbook I had my company…

My head hurts… I should be going to sleep right now, but I’m having such a hard time letting go… this has been a crazy week of late nights programming, long days at work, and crappy weather… but it has been a good week.

Well, I’ve got mixed feelings about flock right now.

So I’ve finished my first big programming project, Forever Remember Me, a website catering to the families and friends of those who have passed away… It is essentially a place for these families to create a memorial, and upload pictures, leave comments, a…

Ok, I’ve been following the development of Hamachi, a.k.a. way too darn easy VPN for a couple months now… Well I finally started using it today and I’ve got to say… WOW, that was way too easy… But that’s the way we like it around here — things so easy that

Actually, my business bought one for me, but still… What am I talking about?

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 I asked Natalie Burke to marry me and she said yes… It was our 4 year anniversary (since we started dating) and I’m sure she’s been waiting awhile for me to ask, but I got her completely by surprise (it was awesome!!!)

Good morning… Isn’t this great weather we’ve been having!

Wow, what a couple of weeks (months) it has been… My intro to rails began a few months ago when a good friend and webdev guy told me he was using it heavily and suggested I check it out… I have never had any real programming experience and while the rails…

I don’t even know where to begin… Simply put, an onsite I started on Friday morning turned into an all weekend marathon of Windows 2000 Small Business Server hacking, repeated reinstalls, Mountain Dew, energy drinks, 3 hours of sleep here, 2 there, running

I’m bored… I’m working pretty hard at Sabretech, trying to bring home the bacon, but it is just not enough… I’ve been spending every extra free time moment reading up on and studying this web trend called web 2.0… What is it about, you ask?

I’ve been meaning to redo my site for quite some time now… blosxom was great, but with time come changes.
