I'm Alex Hillman, the co-founder of IndyHall and a guy who makes things better in Sunny Philadelphia.

I work on Beanstalk, Postmark, and DynamicWear.

I think technology is cool, but people are infinitely cooler.

negligence makes the heart go crazy…and my vision go blurry

so a 10 day hiatus from my practically brand new blog probably isn’t good for publicity…but work comes first, ya know? Things have been totally out of control the last week and a half…and to make things worse, I’m going away for a 5 days weekend starting this thursday. This means I’ve logged almost 30 hours in the last 2 days just to put our project in a spot where the programmers have enough front end to work with. The plight of being the only xhtml/css/javascript dude in the shop.

Anyway…I actually have a lot of things to talk about on here so…hopefully all of my loyal readers from weeks prior are willing to hang tight just a little bit more…by the time I get back from vacation, there will be plenty of new content and thoughts up here for you to chew on. In the mean time, I’ll bullet out some quick thoughts: - weird print spooler error on my mom’s work computer caused by stopping print spooler service, deleting all files in c:/windows/system32/spooler/printers with .shd and .spl extensions, and then restarting. I REALLY didn’t think this was gonna work.

-I’m a crazy fast layout developer. but for Christ’s sake, i need a better system for keeping track of tasks because i take on eleventy billion tiny tasks, and inevitably, stuff gets forgotten. Thanks to Seth at work for hooking up BugNet for all of our bug tracking needs. Still need a full solution for my own stuff, but this is a good start.

-Philadelphia is freaking hot in the summer. This is my 4th summer here, it gets worse every year. 100+ the last 2 days before the heat index. no A/C in my POS car. YUCK.

-speaking of my POS car, i’m planning on buying something new(ish) by the end of the year. qualifications are a)low payments and b)high gas economy. I’m actually considering a Scion. Any comments/recommendations? Worth noting: my credit is a disaster from my first year and a half of school. Still recovering from that. So any “low interest rate” deals likely wont apply to me

-has anyone reading this built any flash-driven media-experiences (a-la heavy.com)? Question about ad revenue tracking…if you’ve got experience, leave a comment, I’ll be posting more details about this as I know more information, at least enough to ask an educated question.

Ok, that’s all for now…more coming really soon, i promise.
