Personal

Been meaning to write this in here for a while, but life gets in the way you know. Basically, big party at my house, almost everyone’s invited. It’ll be a housewarming / birthday party (remember me on Nov 17th! 🙂 and basic excuse to have a proper real party at my own real house. I […]

Not too bad a day if I say so myself. There was a camera swap meet again this year in Burnaby, so me and dad once again headed out for a day of photo geeking. It was pretty good, and while I took a couple of hundred dollars in ca$h, I managed to walk away

Well, the office is finally done enough that it could be moved into, so last night I got all the computers, monitors, and some of the peripherals going again. I’m hesitant to set it all up, just because it’s not done completely, and I’m sure there’ll be shelves or something going in soon, plus there

As you may or may not know, Arcterex.net, normally residing on a server on my cable connection, is offline due to moving. As such, I’ve put this up on the ufies.org server until I can get the server up for real (hopefully this weekend). As such, here is the skinny. All my worldly goods are

Still no job news, but I have my insider looking out for me in that area, and hear that they are interviewing another person (who hopefully isn’t nearly as good as I am), and hopefully will hear something by… the end of today? Monday? Fingers crossed. Some good news is that the police called yesterday

Few quick points about my day today. Second interview went well, many nice things said, now it’s just a waiting game for something to come through. Fingers crossed, but I have high hopes! Tools are still gone, but a call from the Constable that is dealing with the B&E called and got the list of

In addition to my other lovely news, as most people know who read this, I’m unemployed. At the beginning of the month on my way out to lunch at work I was pulled aside and told that I was laid off. My job description suddenly changed underneath me. I was…. “surprised” to say the least,

Not dead, though tired and sore. Been working pretty much non-stop on stuff with no time to write or stop or do much of anything “personal”. Lots of stuff going on, some people know about, others don’t. House is progressing nicely I think, the drywall is almost all in upstairs, which means it can be
