A Coder's Log: Ozark Trail Volunteer Work
http://coders-log.blogspot.com/2009/09/ozark-trail-volunteer-work.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. Ozark Trail Volunteer Work. Well, after a couple of years using. The Ozark Trail, I finally got around to helping to build. The Ozark Trail on the Courtois Section. It's pronounced Code-Away.) What a tremendous experience. The people were great to work with, and great to hang out with after the work was done for the day. And the food, thanks to Jeff The Chef, really hit the spot. Nothing like a couple burgers and a few brats to make the day complete. Posted by Don Branson.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009. The Value Of Pictures In Software Design. There are some very good reasons why software engineers use visual communication to quickly and effectively transfer knowledge from one person to another. While people have many different learning styles. And while everyone employs all of the styles to a greater or lesser degree, most people, or at least, enough people to matter, are predominantly visual learners. Various sources claim that around 60% of us are visual learners. Furthermore...

A Coder's Log: This Greek Tragedy
http://coders-log.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-greek-tragedy.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Grigoris was a man who lived a good life, made a solid name for himself, and was well-respected by his community. But now, beset by the consequences of some unfortunate, perhaps even foolish, spending habits, he found himself in a great deal of debt in his middle years. To no one’s surprise, Grigoris accepted the money but did not change his ways. Within a couple years, he was back in debt and once again appealing to his family for help. Once again, he appealed to his family....

A Coder's Log: May 2009

Sunday, May 24, 2009. I recently heard this question:. Is too much focus on testing benefits a bad thing overall? TDD done well can improve readability. TDD done poorly, that is without consideration of other important principles, can reduce readability. How will this help with TDD? So, my answer to his question is 'yes': test everything without forgetting the other good principles. Any good practice will throw you off-course if it's not balanced with other good practices.

Saturday, December 19, 2009. Adsense Ads and GWT - Making it work. It seems like a lot of people have had this same problem, but I haven't found anywhere on the net where someone has found a solution. Here's how I got it to work. If you find this post helpful, I would ask the favor that you check out http:/ penwag.com. And ask your friends to do the same. But here's the rub. IFrames need to be sized with custom javascript. I use this javascript: https:/ penwag.com/home/iframe.js. MainPanel.addStyleNa...

A Coder's Log: January 2009
http://coders-log.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 11, 2009. So, I think I just sold my first pair of shoes. ;). My wife and I were at the mall the other night, wandering around, waiting for Gran Torino. To start. I noticed a couple of the shoe stores had sales on, so I headed over to Tradehome. My grandpa would be pleased, I think. He worked for Brown Shoe for 34 years, and while on the board of directors pushed to have a shoe plant built in Steelville, Mo. And it lasted for quite some time before they shut it down.

Saturday, March 28, 2009. There's a web site that I'm building, penwag.com. That lets me enjoy two of my favorite interests: software development and story telling. It lets me enjoy software development. Then there's the story-telling side. Another favorite story-teller of mine was Earl Halbert, a family friend. You can see his picture here from National Geographic Magazine. Both of these men, shall we say, infected. Me with a love of a story told friend-to-friend, perhaps while sipping some sassafras te...
