Well, I’ve been in the corporate working world since Tuesday. I’ve had a number of administrative “issues,” perhaps even more than when I was working in Japan, but they’re much more easily resolved. The first day, I was given massive design documents to look over and get myself acquainted with the overall scope of our… Continue reading Joining the colony

UBC CS Button Results
It’s ironic: I spend days sorting and reducing the number of clothes I’ve accumulated over the years, but then just today I go out and spend $100 dollars – mostly on clothes. It’s not illogical, as I need these clothes for work, but it is ironic… and it makes me a little sad. I hope… Continue reading UBC CS Button Results
UBC CS Logo
Of all the submissions (I’m not sure how many there were, but I alone submitted 14), 12 were selected. The page can be seen here. http://www.csss.cs.ubc.ca/buttonContest.html 2 of my 14 made it in, numbers 11 and 12 (the last two on the page).

the shop’s moving
A very short notice, but my website will be leaving it’s current server. I do not wish to renew another year with my current host, and am open to recommendations. Current subscription ends August 4. There will most definitely be a delay between old/new servers… not sure how long. Days, weeks….. ? What I’m looking… Continue reading the shop’s moving

Okay. It’s update time. I guess some fairly interesting stuff has happened since my last update (a whole month!). Let me see… chronologically (This will be as brief as possible): I finished (and passed!) all of my summer classes! Now I have to do my resume and apply for co-op jobs. My uncle, Scott, got… Continue reading the leach
upways, sideways, downways
I’ve been, and will continue to be, consumed by summer classes. That’s where I’ve been. In fact, this was written while sitting in Starbucks… so I’m technically still at school. I had my Wine Science final, today. Man, it was way harder than I anticipated. I studied for a “large section of multiple choice” type… Continue reading upways, sideways, downways
Finally…
Got my tablet sorta-working in Linux. A quick sketch, over a photo. I also finally got hugin installed on Gentoo! Hello wonderful world of panoramas! (Note: each ~2MB) To create this panorama, I used 5 photos I had taken when I was at Granville Island, a long time ago, followed this tutorial, and used the… Continue reading Finally…
the safe way
When I was at Safeway, the other day, I decided to buy a bunch of green grapes. I like grapes. Upon getting home, I saw how much those particular grapes cost me: $9. Huh?! No way. That must be a mistake. At that price, I might as well buy wine. The cashier had to make… Continue reading the safe way
