I'm a husband to my beautiful wife, father to our children, Computer Science graduate from University of Central Arkansas and a System Analyst at Data-Tronics Corp. I love my wife, our children, computers, playing guitar (especially singing/playing for my wife and/or kids), bicycling (including taking my kids for rides in my bike trailer), woodworking, airbrushing, digital and traditional artistry, playing games with my family (traditional and digital), my poor Chevette that I had to sell, throwing knives, firearms, knot tying, rope making, whip making, and really just learning new stuff in general. If I don't know about it I probably want to learn about it, if only so I can make informed decisions about it.

My three favorite programming languages are Python, Lisp, and Assembly (though I'm not sure about the order of those last two languages...), and I currently develop in .NET languages, especially VB.

I think the CANSPAM act is one of the dumbest pieces of legislation in the history of the universe

Code I can write/read (where 1 is just barely, 3 is the average user, and 10 is the language designer/guru level):

  • Python - 6/10
  • C++ - 4/10
  • Perl - 3/10
  • Assembly - 3/10
  • HTML/JavaScript - 5/10
  • VB.NET - 5/10
  • C# - 5/10
  • Befunge - 2/10

comment Can I install sub floor over carpeting?
Those oscillating power tools (like the Fein Mulit-Master, or the Harbor Freight variety) usually have a little scraper attachment (I know the HF one I bought came with it). That would probably work insanely well at pulling up your carpet, and for ~$20 it's probably worth a test anyway.

also called calipers. The cheap(est) kind mean you need to learn how to read a vernier scale, o'course (unless you're old enough to have learned on a slide rule ;)

plus it tells you if you wired the darn thing correctly. Incidentally it's also a tool that every (performing) musician should own. Also I tend to carry mine in my backpack to check outlets @ hotels, etc. to make sure it's safe to plug my laptop in.

I'll have to pick some up today to see if that'll work.

I didn't know that's what that was for - I've seen it in my parents house and just assumed it was for some other reason, though I can't remember it now...

Something I discovered about hot glue - if you drill holes in both surfaces prior to gluing the strength increase is tremendous. I haven't done any scientific tests, but you probably get at least 3-4x the holding power (shear and normal)

I'm sure she says the same thing about her good fabric scissors when she finds you've been using them for home improvement tasks, Jared ;)
