Well, aside from being away from home from 8am to 10pm yesterday, it was a good day. Project Done We got the project I’m working on in Chilliwack up to a point of release, and JimFromWork was in the office until 1am or so finishing up a data import and tweaking things. One down. We […]

Just thought I’d mention that I did it again. Much less fanfair this time, just “waddya want?” <snip snip> “bye bye.”

A couple of weekend wrap ups in one. Last Weekend Last weekend headed down to Seattle to visit with Jim and Kaari, and to retrieve a Cthulhu monitor toy. We headed out around 9am and after the standard interrogation at the boarder (the war hadn’t started yet at that point), had an uneventful drive down,

Well, last night after work I finally got to go play some squash with SilverStr. Jimtheonefromwork came along as well. Had a great few games that no doubt will leave me with “squash butt” and sore legs in the next day or so. At one point we were playing three people in the court andbecause

Hooked up with a guy I knew long ago in the FVLUG to see if we could strike up some sort of a deal. He needs a linux guy to watch over his shoulder, do some monitoring on his server, etc. Anyway went over to his place and discovered he’s got a very cool job.

There were two things I had to go into town for this weekend. One was looking for tires (mine are bald) and a printer, as mine is not in the best shape, and at work there is a really nice one that is cheap and has individual refills for the colors (so if you run

On Sunday me and Firefly went to meet up with some people from high school to do some reunion planning. As I mentioned, I was a bit nervous. No need it seems. We headed out around 1:30 and laughed our asses off to some Billy Connolly stand up comedy. As usual, I mis-interpreted where we
