So I have to leave the house to pick up my traveling mate at 5:30 this morning, so I set the alarm for 4:55, which seemed an overly reasonable time to get myself up, throw the last things I need into my bag, throw bags into the car, do a last minute check, etc etc. […]
Well, our sysadmin dude in Edmonton has put in his notice, so I’m being sent out there, again, to get as much of a brain dump as possible from him before his last day on Thursday. Based on what he’s done and doing, I think we’ll need to actually extract his brain and keep it

Yea, got married last Saturday to my love of 8 years now. Go me! The last two or three months before the wedding were busy, the last two weeks were insanely busy. I am at work most days most of the day, so my huge thanks and appreciation to Firefly, my family and her family

Who knew there was a whole genre of photography called trash the dress, which involves (as far as I can tell) pictures that when done are a pretty much assurance that your wedding dress isn’t going to be used a second time.

Firefly’s been gone since last Friday on a course or seminar or something, so I’ve had to amuse myself the last few days. Somehow in the last 4 days I’ve ended up for three of them in the municipal pool down the street. Today I managed 11 laps of the 25 meter pool (that’d be

A day of firsts for me, though none of them really hugely exciting 🙂 First time finding one of my old jobs (from the graphics place where I had the MacBook) on a job search site. I’m sure other jobs of mine may have ended up on places like that, but I’ve never actually found
Like Darren did, we got snow last night. Unlike Darren though, I don’t live in the frozen north. Luckily it didn’t extend far past home, and wasn’t more than a bit of slush on the car, and I’m pretty sure there won’t be any evidence of it when I get home. Still, crazy weather. Dang

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
