A fairly productive weekend I think. I actually got stuff done! Not a lot of code, that’ll be in the evenings, but a bunch of other stuff. First of all, did a bunch of running around. I had a couple of projects around the house (computer related, go figure) that needed “stuff” for. So I […]

I recently got a (legit even!) copy of Windows Vista and decided to check it out slowly. When I got my new system I got dual hard drives, and the second one hasn’t really been used yet, so I can install a new OS and migrate over at whatever pace I need to without losing

Passed on to me from my buddy Brian. You might live in Abbotsford if… You aren’t sure whether marijuana is legal or not. You can swear in Punjabi, English and Mennonite (Darnit!) You’ve hunted mailboxes You see a gas station on every corner. You see a church on every corner. You see a grow-op on

I went into Abbotsford to pay some bills at lunch and saw basically hard rain or soft hail, just a few sprinkles here and there and though “well isn’t that quaint”. After I got home I went heads down into work (today I was working from home). Then when I poked my head out of
Interesting way of determining how good a programmer is on Imran’s blog, called the FizzBuzz. I took it to make sure I wasn’t a crappy comp-sci grad who couldn’t program and discovered happily I could. Took just under four minutes to complete, though part of the extra time was I forgot how the ‘%’ operator
Man windows, or maybe just my computer, can be weird at times. When I get in the office I have to…. Turn the power on to both monitors…. not out of sleep but a full power on (I think $coworker might be at fault for turning them off though) Hit ctrl-alt-del to get my windows
