Tomorrow, Sandy and I are getting married. That’s a really bad photo of our wedding rings. They were designed by my sister and made by an artist here in Toronto.
If I’ve been incommunicado as of late, well, this is why 🙂 After the wedding we’ll be jetting off for two weeks of sun and no internet access in the Dominican Republic. If you need me, don’t e-mail me…
See you around all.

That’s what’s going on.
The preparations are going fairly smoothly though.
Right now, installing Java on Manrake 9.2 is pissing me off (why are you coredumping! ARRGH!) as well as Mozilla 1.6 (no, I didn’t double click, don’t open 15 messages in separate windows now, also don’t close TWO tabs, just one please!)
We are packed for our trip already and the thought of doing nothing in paradise for two weeks is really really starting to look good.

I didn’t really write about this yet, but two weeks ago we got two Apple eMate 300s. They were quite a steal so I couldn’t pass them up. The eMate makes a great little word processing machine, and is quite usable with the memory upgrade. Sandy’s came with one already installed and I got one for mine shortly thereafter. It’s still an eye-catcher, when I pull it out on the train to tap out my thoughts I get lots of looks and sometimes a few stares.
It’s been a little while.
First things first, today (or tomorrow?) marks exactly one year since I started work at Maptuit. It’s been quite a ride with a little company but I’m looking forward to the future.
Secondly, we finally got the garden planted. I’d be a dead man if I didn’t come out and say that Sandy did most of the hard work. The plants went in the ground yesterday, finally – better late than never. I bought way too many plants anyways so I won’t be too bummed if most of them don’t make it
