• 5/13/2008 - A long day

  Ugh - we recently upgraded to Windows Live Meeting 2007 at the office from Go-to Meeting.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of MS products, but in this case the transition from a solid, reliable 3rd party product to Microsoft's equivalent gave me a Read More...

• 2/26/2008 - A Great Vacation

  I have some time in Tampa Bay (Florida) airport whilst waiting my delayed flight and thought it a great time to post a journal entry (since I've neglected Garretts' World). Lisa and the kids like to go to Englewood Florida with my in-laws every year to Read More... Posted Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:54 PM by Rob Garrett | 0 Comments Filed under: Journal

• 9/2/2007 - Another day and a haircut

  My bushy head of hair finally got the better of me this morning (kept meaning to get it cut), so I headed into Flemington to get it cut. I found a coupon on my sister-in-law's paper for a cut and 10 minute back massage for $15 at the "Male Room". This Read More...

• 9/1/2007 - Frenchtown, NJ

  It's September already - and yes, this is another blog on Garrett's World, hard to believe, but a friend wanted to know why I wasn't keeping up with my journal and only focused on the techie stuff. I am writing this from the comfort of my sister-in-laws Read More... Posted Saturday, September 01, 2007 4:37 PM by Rob Garrett | 0 Comments Filed under: Journal

• Monday 4/30

  Crikey it's the start of May tomorrow, and the weather has finally warmed up (only a few weeks ago we had snow - no kidding), I can now head to the office sans coat and not have to worry that I might freeze to death on the way. The new job is going well.. Read More... Posted Monday, April 30, 2007 10:58 PM by Rob Garrett | 0 Comments Filed under: Journal

• Tuesday 4/17 - Back from the Dead

  I thought I'd never get back to writing my journal, but here I am. I have recently switched careers and am now a project manager for a small firm, not too far from home, working on SharePoint and Office Server technologies (collaborative web sites for Read More...

• Weekend 1/17-1/18

  Just finished a whirlwind of a weekend. In traditional American fashion we celebrated another annual holiday - St Patrick's Day. When I informed my parents last night about the small celebration we hosted at the house on Saturday, my Father said "but Read More...

• Friday 3/2

  Happy March - Spring is on it's way, and perhaps I can say goodbye to snow for another year. I really should not complain about the white stuff - I haven't been too inconvenienced this year (apart from having to hire a contractor one time to break up Read More...

• Monday 2/26

  A little anecdote from my 3 year old today: Dad: So, Simon what am I? Simon: A man. Dad: What about Mommy? Simon: A woe-man. Dad: What are you? Simon: A boy. Dad: Great, what about your sister Isabella? Simon: <Pause for thought>..... A smaller Read More... Posted Monday, February 26, 2007 5:09 PM by Rob Garrett | 0 Comments Filed under: Journal

• Wednesday 2/13

  We're half way through February already and it only seems like yesterday that the family took off for a vacation in Florida.

  I didn't write it, but I want to dedicate this one to my family.... Rascal Flatts - One Wish I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you want to go, and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to Read More...

• Wednesday 1/31

  So far my epiphany to consolidate the number of gadgets in my life, and my new motto of "making things easier" is working well: My recent decision to move all my email to GMail has been a great success - GMail manages junk mail and spam for me, and for Read More...

• Friday 1/26 - Cleaning House

  After spending an exhausting amount of time in front of the computer, most evenings this week, I decided that it is time to consolidate the number of "technical gadgets" that I have at home. Every computer or gadget that I own typically costs Read More... Posted Friday, January 26, 2007 4:00 PM by Rob Garrett | 0 Comments Filed under: Journal

• Thursday 1/18

  It's been a busy week, and a hell of a busy day. All my efforts this week led up to a presentation I was scheduled to give today over lunch. The problem I have with giving standup talks on technical themes is actually making sense of and articulating Read More...

• Weekend 1/13 - 1/14

  It's been a busy weekend, just not for me . I received a call on Friday from a contractor, asking if he could come this weekend to install the tile in our basement (I'd forgot that it was the 14th already). So I hastily went to work on Friday night clearing Read More... Posted Sunday, January 14, 2007 3:39 PM by Rob Garrett | 0 Comments Filed under: Journal
