Amazing finish by Ross Edgar

My Trinidad trip

I'm too tired to give a full description of the entire trip but it was interesting, fun and met many old acquaintances. Here are a few pics:

My good friends, Richard, Julian, and Ricky. These guys run the gas projects back in Trini ;)

A sweet shot of Southern Trinidad. You can clearly see Point Lisas and San Fernando.

Does anyone know how to write JMS applications?

I feel like I'm going to explode. Just got back from SLC, Utah from portal admin training; many new features learned, and I now have to figure out java, the messaging services and how the heck to connect the pieces to an Oracle db.

Am I up to the challenge? Hell yeah! It's been a good year so far, work related, Oracle db training, .Net training, Luminis 4.0 portal administration and now this. As for the relationship side...a pathetic one.

Anyhow, if you know of a good source, besides Sun's website, drop me a line. "I'm working on a tutorial right now and it feels like I'm trying to discovery and new element or something".

Coldfusion 8 Public Beta is available - oh yeah!

This is exciting. All the documentation and hype sounds really good and hope that Adobe has delivered. I'm installing the application and will begin testing today. Let's take RIA's to a new level!

Results from So Cal Cup at ADT Velodrome

The race was good, 3rd in the keirin and 2nd in the sprints. I was very happy with my performance and hopefully build on this.

Tomorrow is Encino for So Cal Cup #3 and I will be racing both sprints and keirin. I will post images and if lucky, video (depends if I have the video camera).

Off to the track this evening to do openers.


Cheers.

I was bored last night and put this together

A first draft for Momentum Cycling, more to come.

Luminis IV portal installation

This is a new release from Sungard and we are one of the first to do an installation on a Windows platform. For those that are interested in learning more, stay tuned for by technology post for Luminis, Oracle and RIA articles and technology development.

Technology is a b#tch

Great video on the frustration one may experience with using technology.

Cars

I like cars. I like good handling, looks, lines, performance, engine and exhaust sound. My current budget allows me to have a Lancer Evolution IX. I've done a few performance upgrades and according to the dyno, my baby produces 337 WHP. Very nice.

My ambition is to own a Ferrari one day, and if I had the $, I would love to own an Enzo. The video below shows two of my all time favorite.

The islands...

The scary part of this is I understood every word she said. This good stuff, have a look -

Miss Jamaica? What She Say?

In Trinidad, we have a sing-song accent and I've been asked many times when I'm talking to my fellow trinis, what language we speak back home? :) Does not seem like a mystery to me but I guess the speed and broken English usually throw people off.
