Update

Today I had a chance to start designing the webpage for my current project...It takes a lot of time to come up with a good design for the website. So many good sites already have great designs and its hard not to copy the formats of those. Next step is to start working on the database design and setup.

Brazilian Stroganoff

I must say one of the best dishes I have eaten that is tasty and filling is my wife's Brazilian Stroganoff. The recipe she uses is like that which they use in Brazil...it includes. To start the recipe she first cooks
1. Start cooking steak chopped in cubes with onions in a pot.
2. mixes in water while its cooking the meat as to not burn it to the pot.
3. when meat is done cooking add corn, cilantro, and "creme de leite"(creamy milk they use to make whipped cream its found at most grocery stores)
4. Final ingredient to the sauce is spaghetti sauce...you have to mix the 2 to get a orangy sauce...thats when you know its good and yummy :)
5. Add salt to get final taste you want.
6. Make some rice or spaghetti noodles and enjoy a delicious dish :)

One of the best meals I have had. Hope others will enjoy it.

White Erase Board

I purchased a white erase board to help with the design/development process, since its easier to keep track of things on that instead of using a piece of scratch paper that can be lost. I really recommend it for any kind of home office. Amazon has a few for sale at close to what I paid for mine Dry-Erase Board, Melamine, 36 x 24, White, Satin-Finished Aluminum Frame
Sorry I haven't written much lately, I am working on a big project right now...Which ill probably share about soon.

New Logo...

My brother made me a nice logo for the site, hopefully everyone likes it.

IPhone App Development!

This week is gonna be crunch week for me at home...I gotta get this IPhone app out as quickly as possible. Once it goes live ill post a link to it here for people to test out. Should be really exciting once its done.

Terraria - Minecraft Clone (Sandbox Genre)

So my friend over at Cordoro Gaming introduced me to this new game that just came out called Terraria. I think it is a really good game, it has a lot of depth and fun factors to it that make it enjoyable. I think it is the first game released after the game idea of Minecraft which is of the genre "sandbox" where you build, destroy, dig, and harvest materials to create new things. I really suggest it to anyone that enjoys Minecraft.

Freelance Software Development - VWorker - RentACoder

So I registered with http://www.VWorker.com to make some cash on the side. It looks like there are a lot of opportunities available to make some extra money.
Before I chose to start an account on their site I researched a few of the sites available for freelance software development. The reason I chose VWorker is cause they currently have the most secure system for getting paid...it reminds me kind of how half.com works in that you get paid every month on a specific date for what you made...so basically getting paid is taken care of by VWorker. Other sites appear to have similar system but VWorker also does arbitration if companies refuse to pay you for your services.
Registration was also quick and easy and required little effort, just some identity information and I was set up to start bidding. I'll see how things work.

Free Sony PS3 Games Because of Network Outage

*Update* The games are now available for download, as Sony has finally started the welcome back program... Check it out http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/03/welcome-back/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WelcomeBack_060311


So Sony is doing a free game giveaway to its customers because of the long network outage that occurred.
Games that are available are: Dead Nation, inFAMOUS, Stardust HD, Wipeout HD, and Little Big Planet...Personally if I didn't have any of these games I would take inFAMOUS and Little Big Planet since they are two of the better games to choose from...but since I have both already, I choose Dead Nation, and Stardust HD or Wipeout HD...still looking at them to decide which to choose. Stardust HD might have more multiplayer fun for my wife and I :)

Crunch week is over!

Well crunch week is finally over at work. Now comes deployment and fixing any major bugs that are found in the process of deployment/production.
I am going to be working this week on a few projects so maybe ill make a post about that...

Wow Blogger got all wacky....

Dang, looks like their system had quite the hiccup...posts are missing and the poll disappeared. I guess gotta do some damage control...

Also it looks like I will not be able to stream until I get a better computer. I was excited about it but it wont be happening till later.

Crunch Time Week...

Well never had to do one of these at work before...but surprisingly they have us doing more hours...probably not the worst crunch time schedule but still 8am-6pm is 10 hours a day.
I have been busy with house chores since the house is new...poisoned some dandelions in the backyard and planted some grass seed in the front yard for bare spots. Also I had to chop up the front tree so my wife was happier about the tree...
Development should speed up as soon as things are settled in.

Add printer. Connect to Printer. Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x0000007e

So at work I was having trouble installing a printer on windows 7 64 bit OS...I decided to google it and found a solution.
A fairly simple 2 step process...

STEPS
1st install the printer locally, on lpt2
2nd at the dos prompt enter in this redirect command
net use LPT2 \\computername\sharedprintername /persistent:yes

A really easy fix, but got the printer installed and printing perfectly. Hopefully this will help anyone running into this issue as well.

All moved in...

     So I finished moving...and I must say I don't want to do that again. My right arm was so overworked that it go sore and swollen at the joint so it was painful to not even use it...it just hung there and felt like it was falling out of its socket.
     On more positive fronts I got my home office up and running now. I have two desktops set up in the home office at the moment, plus laptops can be used side by side if needed. Internet is a tad bit slower at the house(1.4Mbps) than it was at the apartment...but who knows if I will upgrade it to something faster.
