  • New Year’s Resolution

    Everyone starts the New Year with a resolution or two. Then those resolutions begin to fade about 20 – 30 days into the year. You see the gyms packed at the beginning of the year and by February the gym population is back to normal. This year my resolution is to be transparent about my […]
  • It worked! Never Mind.

    On a day-to-day basis, my interactions with customers are limited, but every once in a while I get some support calls that just take me by surprise. Today was no exception. To give a little background, in our software we have a feature that allows us to catch any crash that is about to bring […]

So, can you have that done today?

I work at a software company where we’ve been developing a pretty sizable ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. The office is an open layout, we all have our work stations, but there is no private office, so we can pretty much hear everyone’s conversations. Today, one of my coworkers got on the phone for a […]

Returning a default value when no value returned

November 9, 2010May 12, 2014 Josh Minnie 1 Comment

Today, I came across a problem where, after a lot of searching through forums and other various mediums of programming support, I was basically told it couldn’t be done. I don’t like to take “it’s impossible” for an answer, so I continued to dive into it and I finally came up with a solution. The […]

Today is Julianne’s birthday and we decided to make the trip up to Traverse City, Michigan. There is a resort that I grew up going to with my parents and brother, that we decided to visit.

January 23, 2010May 12, 2014 Josh Minnie Leave a comment

Yesterday was my son’s first birthday.  Wow, I can’t believe it’s gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday that he could barely hold his own head up, and now he’s constantly on the move. Now it seems like he doesn’t want to he sit still for a minute. He’s such a joy in […]

Excellence is an Attitude

January 4, 2010May 12, 2014 Josh Minnie Leave a comment

I was out shopping with my family Sunday and my eyes caught of few of those wall placards which have some catchy sayings or well-known proverbs, like “I’m retired, stop asking me to do things.” or “If at first you don’t succeed, try the way your wife told you to do it.” (I know some […]

So today was the beginning of the New Year, 2010, and I have to say, I rather enjoyed the day off and the time with my family. Today, I slept in and was awoken by my wife telling me that breakfast was ready at a very early 11am. After breakfast and beginning to get ready […]

Catching up with Finances

December 31, 2009May 12, 2014 Josh Minnie Leave a comment

So tonight was a busy night, I spent pretty much my entire night catching up on getting our finances in order. (Okay, I did manage to have some time playing Legos with my 11 month old and dinner with my family.) It’s amazing how difficult it is to keep track of everything when you use […]

Tonight my brother and I are hanging out (as we do every other Tuesday), except tonight is the last one of the year. I’m sure it will be good. We’re going to eat some leftover Christmas turkey and watch a couple of movies (District 9 and Tropical Thunder). Because my brother is such an avid […]

Mother’s Day Picnic at Millenium Park

May 15, 2009July 31, 2014 julianne Leave a comment

For my first Mother’s day, I requested we celebrate by having a picnic in the park. We picked up subway sandwiches and ate at Millenium Park. We walked around the park and enjoyed our time together. Kaden slept the whole time, which was OK since it was a little chilly in the wind.
