After 8 years of service with Benchmark Electronics, Inc. in Angleton, TX they decided to downsize and I was caught in the RIF. I have no idea where I’m going to go next. I’d love to find a company like 37signals. Or heck, maybe I’ll see what’s going on there . . .

I took 4th place for SSP Marksman in the Texas State IDPA Championships today! Scores are here on page 9.

My Wuudchuck’s Wuudwerks website has gotten a face lift. With the demands of life, work, and everything else I just never had the time to keep the blog updated like I originally wanted. So I’ve redesigned the site as more of a woodworking plans data base. Anyway, the old site generated around $400/year in ad and affiliate revenue. Maybe this new one will do better. Who knows.

Last night we ran our second beta of my IDPA online scoring application at the Arms Room range in League City, TX. We had full WiFi strength in all three bays and everyone who entered scores provided positive feedback. The beta was a total success.

Well, I think that does it. I have some basic styling added to the site. I think it is good to go for now. Oh, and I added an about me page.

I swear, it took me longer to write this application than it did to get it deployed to Heroku. I don’t know, maybe two, three hours to write. Maybe. And like less than 5 minutes to deploy. Heroku rocks!
Now all I need to do is add a little CSS styling and I’m good to go. I hate visual design work. I’d much rather stick to programming.
