Here I was thinking to myself, “Man, I’d really like a laptop where – if I am listening to iTunes via USB headphones, and I unplug the headphones, iTunes would just close and bring my system to it’s knees because it’s still running in the background somewhere.” And I got exactly that! Thanks, STEVE

4 days of working and 52 hours currently logged. That’s pretty hot considering one of those days I spent getting a bit too drunk and one of the other days I was incredibly hung over. It’s a good thing I actually love programming. Yesterday I had a bit of a magical moment. I took half [...]

A big project I proposed to one of my clients was just approved for funding. The only catch is, it was approved quite late and the deadline remains the same. Can I write reams of code in just 10 days? Will I make it? Will I burn out? Will I shower? Tune in next week!

One of the things I’m hoping to do while living in a tropical locale, is to work. I’m hoping it will be something like what I’m doing now – Community Management for Fantastic Contraption. It’s an all-day chore that does soak up a lot of my time, but it’s a lot of fun and it [...]

Took some pictures on my crazy weekend! Feel free to watch my Flickr photostream for more great shots like the one to the left there. I think it would look fabulous up against a black backdrop. I’ve been busy just being social – spent the weekend in Nanaimo with some new friends and doing some [...]

The Whopper Sacrifice is the best Facebook Application ever made. People ask me where I plan on going on my global adventures. Well, I have a “short” list of places I want to travel to. First and foremost, I want to live for a time on the beaches of Belize. I went there once a [...]

Today I have been exposed to a great deal of excellent media. I think I’ll share it! First, on a tip-off from BoingBoing, I took a listen to Stephen Fry’s Podgram on Language. It was truly excellent. I was vaguely aware of who Stephen Fry was before this point, but this 32 minute rant on [...]

Spent this glorious day all cleaning the house and making plans. Looks like things will be all out on Thursday-ish and I will be all cleared up. Will be nice to have this moving mess off my plate! Fantastic Contraption seems to be running smoother after a database server reconfiguration. We’ll see if it holds [...]

Today was a relaxation day. I played some City of Heroes with Aubrey and ordered my very first online-grocery-delivery from our local supermarket Thrifty Foods. Aubrey and I also sat down and planned out what kind of meals we’d be eating over the coming months. Very mellow. I’ve got a lot of work to do [...]
