If you’re a SoulSeek user and your client suddenly doesn’t work, go here. If you’re looking for a good P2P app, then go there anyways.

Well, because of PHP stuff still not being built (Stany, do you read this?), I haven’t been writing here. But this is no longer an issue, because I am done working at the big bad bank. Finito. No longer.
Finished. Bye-bye. Sayonara. It’s done. Over.

So, you ask, what bigger and better things have I moved on to now? The answer is: I can’t really say other than:

• I’m working in Guelph
• It’s for a brand-new company
• I’m Lead Developer
• It’s top-secret™
• I’m very happy to be there

I picked this job out of about five I was offered, total. It was pretty nuts for a while there: I had some people who wanted to break my contract that afternoon so I could go work for them. But I ended up picking this position: it’s just an opportunity I couldn’t refuse.

On Thursday we had a SONUG meeting. It was pretty good. Oh, and I got interviewed by Wired. That was cool too.

In other news… Acer monitors suck huge ass. Don’t buy them. Even worse, Acer monitor repair depots are open from 9-4, M-F. Does anyone who has a full-time job have time to frickin’ drop their monitor off between 9-4 on a weekday? It’s not exactly one of those things you can get off for, like a dentist appointment: “Uh, sorry boss, I can’t come to work tomorrow morning, my monitor’s sick and I have to drive it to Richmond Hill.” I don’t think so. This monitor has been in service for less than six months. It’s dead. I hate Acer. They made me wait a week until I had the time to actually DRIVE the monitor 100km so I can wait at least a week to get it fixed. Fuckers.

I scanned this from the back of the box of my Sony headphones a while ago.
It’s just so simple yet cool.

Released LaunchPLS 1.0 today. Only interesting if you’re a Newton user with Newt’s Cape and MAD Max. But cool nonetheless.

… and why do I end up buying it? Picked up a Siemens Pocket Reader the other day for cheap. Neat little thing, works pretty well. What am I going to do with it? I have no idea, but I’m sure it’ll come in handy as long as I keep it with me.

Been updating the photos section lately. Go check it out.

I hate it when I spell things wrong.

Still lots Of WYD pilgrims in town. They don’t blend too well I’m afraid: those matching bags and site passes are kinda a giveaway.

Lack of writings here lately is due to some stupid PHP exploit, and the fact that my admin has disabled it until he installs the new version, which I guess hasn’t happened yet.

There should be no talking in the men’s room. Period. Unless it’s to say “You have toilet paper stuck to your shoe.” I can’t stand people who conduct impromptu business meetings in there. Some of us are trying to concentrate, you know.
