As we get closer to Tuesday’s special legislative session on reducing the state’s 1.3 billion budget, the pace of messages is increasing from groups that don’t want their members included in the billion proposed cuts. Gov. David Paterson called the session because of the effect the weakening economy is having the state’s tax collections.

If you want to see the olimpics online, go to mininova I liked
BitTorrent is nice. I prefer downloading pornography to the Olympics!
This post is long enough. I’m leaving a few comments for the next one, so don’t feel slighted if I missed one or two. The ones I left are ones [...]
The last time I seriously watched TV coverage of the Olympics was in summer 2000. In Greco-Roman wrestling, the American Rulon Gardner was matched up against Russian Alexander Karelin in the gold medal match.

At my slave software engineer job, I’m working on a web development project. Currently, it’s written in jsp/Java/Spring/Beans, which is horrible, but at least it runs. Rewriting it in another language probably was a good idea.
My boss decided to rewrite it in Ruby on Rails. Neither my boss nor anyone else here has [...]

Mortgage insurers require higher credit scores and bigger down payments than they did a month or two ago. Underwriting software used by brokers and loan officers is issuing fewer approvals than at the end of May.
