Been a while, but life is good. (blog entry) Well, it's been a while since I have posted anything, so I guess I should do so again. Anyhow, life has been keeping me well, I did my second Magick Class a few weeks back and that went well too (though the White Board jumped off it's stand and a... read more

Installed the Mosquito net yesterday. (blog entry) So, answer a few questions, the award is for 100 case studies completed (of which I think I participated in 3, one of which was never published due to security concerns :-/.

As for Friday the 13th, well I have always considered it a lucky day s... read more

Well, that was a busy few weeks. (blog entry) Last time I posted I was just going into my 10 Class (in 3 weeks and 1 day) intensive introductory Dutch course (3 hours of class, 3 times a week for 10 classes, plus at least 3 hours of study a day), while continuing to work full time. And of... read more

Good things in between bashing the head against a metaphorical brick wall. (blog entry) Well, it's been mostly a pretty frustrating day, though I must say that it's had it's distinct pleasure points... I spent most of the day trying to resolve a problem at work that was supposed to be working last Friday. At about 19:00 I sent o... read more

Well, it's been a while since I have posted anything, so I guess I should do so again. Anyhow, life has been keeping me well, I did my second Magick Class a few weeks back and that went well too (though the White Board jumped off it's stand and attacked Helen's foot - really, it's a bad White board). I have my next one next weekend, so I guess I should start preparing for it - I wonder what I will talk about (actually I have a few ideas, but they haven't started to gel yet). Work has been ... read more

As for Friday the 13th, well I have always considered it a lucky day since the time in the grade 6 sock-hop that I won 5 of the 6 spot-dance prizes or something like that. Mostly the day went well.

I spent most of the day doing hardware upgrades in preparation for hardware upgrades (you have to upgrade the fan tray... read more

Trying to deal with putting in a day's work, then come home and deal with evening meetings via the cell phone (when half of the meeting is only viewable via your web browser), is not only annoying, ... read more

Last time I posted I was just going into my 10 Class (in 3 weeks and 1 day) intensive introductory Dutch course (3 hours of class, 3 times a week for 10 classes, plus at least 3 hours of study a day), while continuing to work full time. And of course my biggest, high profile project at work decided to get busy at the same time and stop being cooperative. And then, just to keep life interesting, head over to a friend's with my lovely wife to engage in temple building for 5 out of 6 of the... read more

I spent most of the day trying to resolve a problem at work that was supposed to be working last Friday. At about 19:00 I sent out a message to the folks I told I would get it done that I give up. There is no reason it shouldn't work, I have done upgrades, tried variants, compared it against working versions (at least a half a dozen times), and all with no luck. Blocked at ... read more
