Around SA 02/16: What’s the slowdown?
Feb 16,2010
Amidst all the complaints about the mindset of San Antonio (i.e. it’s not progressive enough), it’s easy to complain especially when you don’t know why. I’ve taken some time, met with some people, and I’m getting closer to that answer.

The last place I lived in before I moved to San Antonio was Atascocita, Texas, an unincorporated suburb northeast of Houston. At the urging of many friends at my second job, I moved there because the scenery, convenience, and location were great and totally different from what I saw normally at work, while making up for what I lacked at my last apartment north of Houston.

Hopefully, I’ll be retired by then…

And hopefully this will be my last discussion on the subject. You’ve seen it enough times (if you haven’t, I envy you). HTML5: 2022 (aka 2012). This created yet another pointless rift that I was temporarily part of last year where some people don’t want to touch it until 2022 and others are using it now. You know, I really hate the web. Why is this even a divisive issue I don’t know, but it is, it created an inane Twitter war between me and some agency where we both drank our respective Kool-Aid (I refused to support something that by the time it’s even in Candidate Recommendation will be outdated by some other new shiny object and they/he started using it immediately, or so they claimed.) and I did the adult thing, apologized, and tried to make amends. Didn’t happen, but that isn’t anything new. Of all the things I’ve read about HTML5, my favorite is this comment: “Hopefully, I’ll be retired by then.” Me, too.
