What’s in a name?

I currently have two online identities that I go by on the internet: isallcaps and iciskaye.  iciskaye was the first name that I came up with and registed a domain under.  isallcaps came later and stemmed from a nickname (all caps).  When signing up for various social accounts, I would float back and forth between those two names. But it's getting tiring to remember and which is what. <sigh>

Cloud vs Accessing the Internet

I like Cloud Computing.  It makes life easier.  The problem with it is being able to access it.  Face it, cellular companies are putting a cap on usage.  Connection speeds varies. Therefore, whatever I put on the Cloud, I have to say to myself “Self, you going to be okay if you don’t have 100% access to it?”

Freebase

I just received a beta invite to Small Demons.  As I was perusing, it reminded me of an idea that I had during my graduate days.  As I was looking through the site, I noticed in the footer, there was a link to Freebase.

“Freebase is an open, Creative Commons licensed repository of structured data of almost 22 million entities.”

As I started to go through the Freebase site, I got excited.  This is something that I need to make my idea happen.

End of the Summer

It’s the end of the summer.  I cannot believe how fast it went buy.  It was a blur.  My husband and I were very busy.  There were grad parties, mini-family reunion, and vacations.  Here’s a brief outline:

  • June
    • Lance & Heather’s Wedding
    • Grad Parties (Kenny & Krystal)
    • Mini family reunion
  • July
    • 8th – 10th – Camping at Verona Beach, NY
    • 22nd – 24th – NYC (Yankees Game!)
  • August
    • Jason & Thu’s Wedding
    • 12th – 21st – Vero Beach and Walt Disney World  (will do a post about this trip soon)
One thing that sucked was that I’ve developed RSI in both my forearms.  I’ve been seeing a massage therapist and a chiropractor since the beginning of July.  I’ve also bought a new keyboard and mouse. I’m doing a lot better now then I was a month ago.  Hopefully, in time it will lessen.  I’ve been experimenting with various setups with my desk at work.  Tried a standing desk, adjusting seat, and etc.  My desk is not built for a short person.  This condition has seriously affected me being on the computer.  But at least it’s not carpal tunnel.
I start teaching again.  Why is there a class on Labor Day!?!
