My Scripts for Pomodoro Desktop

March 26, 2010 - 10:09am -- Steven

Pomodoro Desktop is a great utility to aid in Time Management. It helps break tasks down into simple, bite-sized chunks.

My workplace has a simple policy. If your iChat status is set to DND (Do Not Disturb), people leave you alone completely. I have found that people stress out less about not being able to talk with me if they know when I will be available next. So, I wrote these simple scripts for Pomodoro Desktop to keep everyone in the loop.

GWT 2.0 - making my workday easier

December 9, 2009 - 5:29am -- Steven

About 3 years ago, I moved from teaching to programming for a living. During that time, I have worked in 4GL languages like Genero from 4js, and more traditional languages like PHP, HTML, CSS, sqlite, mySQL, FileMaker, and now... Java.

Java was an incredible change for me. It was my first real Object-Oriented language (yes, I know that it is possible to write PHP in an OO style, but that is not quite the same thing).

Machete Juggler turned Programmer

August 2, 2007 - 8:23am -- Steven

There are times when I feel that I live my life in the mode of an omniscient narrator. I watch the interactions of others and can see things that don't seem to be immediately obvious to them.

This skill often came in handy as a teacher. It allowed me the latitude to orchestrate the classroom. A good teacher is a machete juggler, maintaining order in madness, evoking admiration and fear, and tempting death, all at the same time.
