Unfolded Mind

I like AllegroGraph

I like Allegrograph. It’s a graph database, intended for, but not restricted to RDF graph storage. You can query it with SPARQL, You can program against an HTTP interface, so that means you can use any language you want. It’s like a Swiss Army Chainsaw for the web.

New look and feel

This is my first try at a totally original WordPress theme. It will evolve over time, and I’ll be happier once i’ve made it more mine. Kudos to Margaret for moral, technical, and aesthetic support!

Contract?

Finished the last contract, on another one now, at a big big big bank with a big big Minneapolis presence. It’s not at all what I’d feared, but it’s still not the place I want to ultimately wind up. Moves have been made, possibilities have come up, an next week will be EEENTERESTINGK.

Willie prie the “” key from my keyboar. My fault for leaving to within the arm-raius of a 21 month ol.

I’ve ha some success getting job interviews, but no offers yet. I have a phone interview in less than 10 minutes; maybe this one is the one.

Functional Fixedness

So, I’m about 10 or 11, working on a pinewood derby car, or something else stupid, it doesn’t matter. My father’s watching me, as I proceed to bang on the end of a screwdriver with a hammer. My father didn’t freak out, like many fathers would when observing a violation of the rules of tools of that magnitude, all he said was, “Well, I see you don’t allow yourself to be constrained by the functional fixedness of real-time solution objects.”

I loved my Dad.

Wow! It’s all worth it!
