So I’m working at home today, just typing and minding my own business, when Patches decided to come and drape herself over my mouse arm. In case you were wondering, no, she wasn’t inconvenienced by me at all 🙂

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

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.
