Hanging Out with Jay
One of my co-workers contacted me yesterday, and needed a hand doing some errands because his wife took the car to go stay at her families place for two weeks, leaving him no phone, and only a half working motorcycle. Since my plans were only to pack and clean, I…

Packing Sucks
I move a lot, too much, but one thing that never changes is how much I hate packing. Getting my stuff together and putting it in boxes is an activity that ranks pretty high on my list of things I’d rather do later. Unfortunately, I’m running out of later and…

Connected Feeling
I need to find people that I can be friends with that are interested in writing/blogging often. I don’t feel very connected to many of the people in my life because I don’t communicate the same way that they do, and it has become a serious issue for me. You’d…

One Week Remaining
I’m going to miss most of the people that I work with at the County of Bruce. I think the unknown of what the office dynamic will be like is the scariest part of changing jobs. The people here have become trustworthy friends and a surrogate family to me. With…

Update to Authoring a DVD
In a recent post (Authoring a DVD That Works), I was having issues creating a DVD for a co-worker, and as usual, my copy of Nero saved the day. I didn’t even notice the option to burn a movie DVD, and what’s even better is that the software can transcode…

One Month From Today
One month from today, I will be twenty-eight years old. I am not where I expected to be at this age and I hope to be able to enact the next step in my life plan before I’m 30. Lots to do…

Authoring a DVD That Works
So a co-worker went on a trip and didn’t have anyone that could record some television for her. It was the season start of her favourite show, so I volunteered to download it for her and put it on a DVD so she could watch it. What I didn’t realize…

WP Theming
I forgot how much I dislike building WordPress themes from scratch. The software and its themes have advanced so much that it almost feels backwards building one from scratch rather than modifying what already exists.

Apartment Hunting
I’ve been looking for an apartment for the last few days now. Pretty much ever since I’ve confirmed that I am taking a new job in Brockville. I have to admit, Brockville apartments are definitely more pricey than I’m used to. The sticker shock won’t be as bad once I…

Because It’s Important
I just added Scott Pilgrim vs The World to my Birthday wishlist. I want the super, extra, amazing, filled with bonus feature goodness version of the DVD. I would have bought multiple copies of it after seeing it in theaters because I enjoyed it so much. Just sayin’.
