Time Frame For Jobs
| March 27, 2012 | Posted by DevonSchreiner under Personal |
As you, my readers, may or may not know, I’m in the market for a career when I graduate from college in May. I’ve been searching, applying, inquiring and emailing about every job I can find. So far, there has been one thing that I have noticed that is different from internships to full-time jobs.… more
Join BeyondAuthority

Just like everyone else, I’ve had a group of friends in college and we all like to play games. As more people started graduating, moving away and whatnot, we all eventually just started using a voice chat server as our means of getting together. Everyone jumps on the Mumble server and we all still play… more
Disable Buzzdock On Google
| March 23, 2012 | Posted by DevonSchreiner under Tech |
A while back Google implemented a mildly annoying extra ad at the top of it’s search results called the Buzzdock. This will aggregate results that it thinks you want to see from Yahoo, YouTube, Twitter, Amazon, eBay and a whole bunch more, other places. Well I finally got fed up with it, so I took it off.… more
My Teeth Are Falling Out!
| March 22, 2012 | Posted by DevonSchreiner under Personal |
It’s been a while since I had my braces taken off. Probably almost six years ago already. But I have always had what they call a permanent retainer on the back of my front teeth. If you’ve had braces, you know what I’m talking about. Just a little wire cemented to the back of your… more

Good Guy Zach From Olark
| March 5, 2012 | Posted by DevonSchreiner under Personal, Tech |
As an IT sort of person, I am sometimes required to sign up for multiple free trials of software to try them out and give my recommendation as to which program we should purchase for the company. Along with signing up for these free trials come many unwelcomed, impersonal and completely unnecessary phone calls and emails. The… more
Spring-Time Revelations
| March 3, 2012 | Posted by DevonSchreiner under Personal |
Do you see the timer on the right hand side of my blog there? Do you see it?? Do you see how close we are to entering Spring? We are very close. Very close indeed. With less than 17 days left in winter and less than 65 days left until graduation, Devon is a happy… more
Backup MySQL To Amazon S3
| March 2, 2012 | Posted by DevonSchreiner under Tech |
Today I was tasked with writing a backup script for our new MySQL Server. I’m a scripter/programmer by absolutely no means but I was kind of proud of this so I thought I would share. This particular script lists the databases and for each one, dumps it, appends the date to the end of the… more
