The work [archive.org link] Christmas party went quite loverlyly. ScoobyDee did an awsome job with the planning and execution, so full kudos go out to her (especially since she didn’t laugh at my other pants). We (the dev team) got the boss a gift certificate for some fancy schmancy resteraunt in Chilliwack, which he appreciated, […]

What a week. I just spent the last 4 days along with the other developers [archive.org link] in a marathon short term project. I’ve written some of the coolest stuff and done some (IMHO) very good code lately. Right now it’s almost 1am and we’re in a ‘testing’ phase (which is what I thought was

Well, it was an interesting night. Filled with marketing people, realtor people, and basically a table whom I had 0 connection with. It did get me out, and free dinner at the Bedford House (a 5 * restraunt I think). Not exactly the way I imagined my friday night, but I suppose it could have
Just a quicky…. Seems that our salesdude Gord has been in this office for a while. Me: Sandra called for you Gord: That’s Shandra actually. M: Yea, whatever. G: From Enterprise Magazine M: What, you going to be doing nude modeling for them or something? G: Yea, if there’s room [gales of laughter] Even if
