Less to complain about

Sometimes it is the odd things that make you feel comfortable.

Tonight I was writing some DLINQ code to try out its O/R mapping potential on a simple Active Record Pattern domain model. I remembered doing this type of work (in DAO -!!!- and ASP 1.0 in VBScript, damn I'm old) back in the day with Trippy sitting across the cube while we were both listening to Radio 1. I flipped on Radio 1 and I really think I got more done than I would have otherwise.

Lately, I've been a BNN.FM fan. You can get it in the International section of the radio stations on iTunes, too. I love The Netherlands and listening to great music while hearing Dutch kind of takes me out of myself at work sometimes. Give it a shot. Dutch is actually a pretty easy language to understand if you have a good ear for languages. But, the songs are all in English so you shouldn't have too much to complain about. Plus, the stream is pretty strong and I don't think I've ever had it drop.

Now, it is time to enjoy my Sticky Rice 2000 Leagues roll and watch the second half of the recent Met performance of The Magic Flute I DVRed a couple of weeks ago. Watch your PBS listings, I really like Robert Gunn as Papagano. Plus, this one is in English so you shouldn't have too much to complain about with that either.

Goede Nacht…
