Battlestar is back!

Last Friday one of the best shows came back on the air after more than a year hiatus. . . for one more season.  That's right, Battlestar Galactica is back, and it's great! Maybe this will make up for my earlier realization that the newer Episodes of Star Wars are better than the older ones.

I stumbled across this quiz while perusing information for my next blog post.


What New Battlestar Galactica character are you?
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as CPO Galen Tyrol

You never wanted to be a glamorous Viper pilot. You are happy knowing that without you to fix their birds, they cannot fly. You fell in love with the wrong girl, but is that so wrong? Maybe, but you don't really care.

CPO Galen Tyrol
 
88%

Lt. Sharon Valerii (Boomer)
 
63%

President Laura Roslin
 
56%

Capt. Lee Adama (Apollo)
 
50%

Commander William Adama
 
50%

Number 6
 
44%

Lt. Kara Thrace (Starbuck)
 
38%

Dr Gaius Baltar
 
31%

Col. Saul Tigh
 
31%

Tom Zarek
 
25%

The funny thing is that as I was filling out the quiz, I absolutely knew who I was going to match up with.  I don't get how Galen fell in love with the wrong girl, I think Callie is perfect.

If you're looking for a show with some deep story, deep characters, and stunning changes, this is it.  I found myself in tears during the holocaust episodes.

Welcome back old friends,
+Tom

You're a cylon!! :)

We can't wait for tonight. We didn't start watching it at the beginning - Jeff recorded it in reruns and we watched it when Alex was first born. Hey - there isn't anything else on at 3am!

Did you know that next year they are having a show revolving around the Pegasus - like from 50 years ago. Should be interesting.

I'm sad that the show is ending, but i want to know if they will find Earth, who the last cylon is, and how it all ends.

Using an Array of Objects in C++

 I've been programming for years (over 35 at this point, which is crazy  to think about). My career right now is much more Software Architecture, and much less Software Developer, but I still get some time to write out GraphQL APIs in TypeScript, Vue 3 UIs, GitLab pipelines, and just generally making "big" decisions and helping make them a reality. It's nice every now and then to come across different articles and ideas that get me to remember life in college when I was using C++. Who would have thought C++ was the "hot new thing" right now (though I suppose it's more like Rust and Go, both great languages as well). One of the things I find frustrating with most technical posts is where they focus on the "how do I build an app" and not so much on "how do I do this one slightly useful thing". I figured I'd throw one together what was front of mind, using user attributes for permissions (i.e., Attribute Based Access Control - ABAC) ...

Red-Gate SQL Compare

Every now and then I come across a program that becomes so ingrained in my daily work that I hardly know how I'd get by without it.  I'll probably break down a couple over the next few days, but for database work, I have never found anything as good as Red Gate's SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare .  Essentially these tools let you compare two SQL Server databases (all objects, users, permissions, functions, diagrams, anything) and update changes to whichever database you want.  This is amazingly useful for deploying database changes to a test or production environment (do it to production with ridiculous care, even though it will generate a SQL Script for you and run all updates in one transaction), and making sure everything is synchronized. For releases we can just generate the compare script, confirm that the changes match the updates we want to go out, and store it all in one place with the release details.  This is true for both the structure and the d...

Kids Activities

I find myself often in a situation where it's some morning, I have the kids for the afternoon, and I'm not sure what to do with them. We could go to a movie, or play Legos, but living near Washington, DC, I want the kids to love the museums as much as I do, or to see what else is going on. This Sunday, while my wife was travelling, I took the kids to the Chocolate Festival in Old Town Fairfax. I didn't even know there wad an Old Town Fairfax, much less a chocolate festival. It was okay overall, but the best was seeing any type of chocolate you could imagine, and letting the kids pick something for themselves and their teacher. For finding cheap or free stuff going on nearby with the kids, I have to say About.com has consistently been the best. I tried si.edu (the Smithsonian Website) which is also good, but a little hard to navigate, partly because they have so much going on. At About I did a search of what to do with my kids this weekend, and a bunch of items came ...
