pose Originally uploaded by bkjones. You can start to check out some snapshots from my wedding that are starting to come in from our friends and family. The professional ones won’t be up for (I’m guessing) at least another week. Go here to see them.

An old buddy goes to Nashville

Posted on September 27, 2005 by bkjones

During the time I spent in Baton Rouge, I worked in an electronics lab during the day, and then played guitar by night. I had been recruited to play in (of all things) a country band, but I decided that it would be an interesting challenge, and (being from NJ), a novel way to be…

We gotta get outta this place, if it’s the last thing we ever do…

Posted on September 26, 2005 by bkjones

I spent my boyhood in New Jersey, kindergarten through 10th grade. Then I moved to Texas to finish up high school. Since I graduated HS, I’ve lived in Philadelphia, NYC, went back to Texas, Baton Rouge, and I’m now back in NJ. As a former stockbroker, my clientele spanned the entire country; Minnesota, Hawaii, Florida,…

I’m a married man

Posted on September 26, 2005 by bkjones

On Saturday, Sept. 24, 2005, I got married. That was cool. Everything went pretty smoothly, and everyone said they had a wonderful time. The hotel was really nice, and everyone did their jobs without much drama, from the florist to the photographer, musicians and dj’s, everything went off without a hitch. Our photographer was awesome,…

What a huge week

Posted on September 26, 2005 by bkjones

On Tuesday, the book I’ve been working on for O’Reilly publishing was completed, and put into production, ending the most gruelling 7 weeks of my life. I spent seemingly every waking moment either working at my day job, or churning out content for the book at night. On Friday, I got an email that I…

Free Opera Browswer: Mark My Words

Posted on September 20, 2005 by bkjones

Opera released a nagware-free, no license fee version of their browser today. So I went to their site to download it. I clicked around in about 12 different ways, and I still have no browser. However, I’m sure that every click on the “Download Now” button was counted, and mark my words, Opera will announce…

Tired… So Tired…

Posted on September 19, 2005 by bkjones

I’m tired of Linux reviews. I’m tired of Linux zealots who say disingenuous things like “if the choice is between Open or Closed Source solutions, the answer is easy” in the context of a discussion about things they have no clue about. I’m tired of hearing about what Linux has to do to “hit the…

Week of the wedding….

Posted on September 19, 2005 by bkjones

Well, I’m getting married on Saturday, so of course this week I’ve been busy answering what must be the single most asked question of grooms on the week of their wedding: “Are you nervous/freaking out?” I’m not nervous. I’m not freaking out. Everything is fine. Of course, the last minute details of a wedding always…

Email with all caps in the subject bother me.

Posted on September 16, 2005 by bkjones

Does this mean I’m some kind of tech elitist or something? I just don’t understand what causes this to happen. I mean, you’re sitting there at your desk, and you pop open your email client, and then what? Is there a big decision to be made now? “Gee, do I press caps lock, or just…

mail.com is absolutely horrible.

Posted on September 14, 2005 by bkjones

I’ve been using mail.com as my spam account for quite some time. I did that because, after first opening the account, I realized that it was kinda slow and klunky, so I just used it for registering on websites that require an email address. Plenty of times, those sites sell those email addresses – especially…
