George Rodier @georgerodier.com · 13/09/2026This past week I’ve been working night and weekends to help support a project at work after the kids have gone to bed.

George Rodier @georgerodier.com · 05/09/2026So often I get pulled away from actual implementation to do architecture, software design, requirement solutioning, code review, etc. So it’s always good when I can step away and do something at home for myself, because (and it’s always a good reminder)… Coding is fun! 080

George Rodier @georgerodier.com · 18/08/2026I find Reacher to be a stupid fun show. But this season (or at least the first episode of it), is filmed partially in Philadelphia. I can forgive the cliches (you know they’re coming) and the non-Philadelphia locations (due to production), but one part irked the Philly in me… 100
