Personal

Long, long last couple of days. Bunch of crap I’ve been coding I finally fixed, only to find another blocker (and not a “why the heck is this not working” blocker but a “this isn’t going to work” blocker) standing in my way. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. As I’ve said […]

Well, saturday we all went diving. We went over to some place just below Whytecliff park which had a sandy, sloooooowly sloping out bay bottom. We went down to about 40 feet or so but there wasn’t much there. Saw some large sea anenomies (sp?) and a midish-sized ling cod. Our second and third dives

The last couple of days has been draining. I’m so glad I live in Canada right now, and that the people that I know in the New York area are all ok. My heart goes out to those who are not as lucky as I. My parents know exactly where they were when JFK was

I’ve got a Freakin Dent in my HEAD! Right below the hairline. Not a huge amount of blood luckily.

We had another few dives

Well, survival was attained today in the first day of the actual pool/open water PADI tests. We all finished off the written part of the certification on friday, with myself scoring a whopping 98% (highest in the class if I may say so) tied only by Cat5 (who had to suck up to the teach

Wow, judging from the amount of mail I’ve gotten over the last few days, I figure a lot of people are interested in hearing how Clinton was. Well, 2 or 3 anyway. I hope that doesn’t represent my entire readership for this humble little journal 🙂 Although Iambe has already posted her thoughts on the

Evening Fingy Huuuuurt. After a go at the gym I finally tried out Flashpoint’s new boulder wall. Pretty good actually, I could even do a couple of routes! Nice to know I can just go there anytime with a pair of shoes and no partner and boulder around for a bit. On a side note,

Dream. Something about VWs. Something about looking at a new house. I was meeting someone at an IHOP in Maple Ridge, and the first guy I met was a construction worker who asked me to go get his food (or his friend, one of the two) from inside. I go inside and find his friend,
