Month: April 2004

  • D-Day

    Today we sign the papers for our new house.

    Tomorrow we take posession and start moving. I am so damn stoked. I know Sandy is too but she’s too tired from packing to show it 🙂

  • snap, crackle, pop!

    Kellog’s Rice Krispies? No, the sound of me stepping on my glasses yesterday morning! Fun! Joy!

    I’d been putting off going to the optometrist for months now, and it was fast approaching three years since my last visit so it seemed as good a time as any. I worked from home and got into the optometrist across the street by 11. Dilating my pupils rendered me unable to look at my computer screen for a few hours anyways.

    Today I am sporting geek-chic tape on the left arm of my glasses. Luckily, my new funky specs should be ready for me to pick up by this evening. Woot.

  • what’s going on? what’s happening? what’s all this?

    What else has been happening?

    • We are entering box hell – that time before we move when we try to do as much pre-packing as possible. You can tell it’s getting time to move because photos and pictures start to come off the walls, and then when we talk it sounds like we’re living in a barrel. It’s only three weeks until we take possession of our house.
    • Maptuit (where I work) is plugging along. Check out our new corporate website with lots of juicy press releases and technology demos.
    • Sandy got into York University for teacher’s college, as you may have noticed. This is the news we’ve been waiting for for months now. It’s a huge relief to know that she’s going to school in Ontario.
    • As a result, we’re seriously looking at buying Sandy a notebook computer. Her requirements are “as light as possible and good battery life” for normal Office / Web browsing use. My requirements are “must last at least three years without failing” as I’ve seen so, so many notebooks become doorstops over the years. Also it must be under $2000. So far I’ve looked at the Sony VAIO 505 series, Apple iBooks, and some IBMs that were in their clearance center. Mmmm… IBMs are looking good actually.
  • WAHOOOO!
