Malcolm's Ramblings

So, I’ve made it through my first week, and have started into my second one. There are people surprised I’ve made it to this point as the position I’m in is one with a lot of responsibilities and stress, but I’m determined to help Envirotech, and see so much opportunity within this organization. Last week, Read more

Last night I spent around four hours catching up with Jeff Chandler on a Google Hangout that he hosted. It was casual, and others dropped in and out pushing the conversation towards different things. Jeff and I reminisced about the good old days where we used to do WordPress Weekly together, and discussed what it Read more

With the realization that my new job is only twelve kilometers (7.5 miles) from home, I’ve started looking at biking options to get there and back on better weather days. Living in Halton Hills, the name fits the location, and I’d have to deal with some rolling hills no matter which direction I take to Read more

Today was my last full day at rocketgenius. I’ll be doing a few things this weekend to help out before I start my new job on Monday. The last two weeks weren’t anything too special. I said goodbye to a few folks, but otherwise just did my job the best I could, and focused on Read more

Since purchasing a laptop, I’ve only had the opportunity to write while on a train a handful of times and I found the experience very rewarding, so I can’t help but feel excited about what Amtrak is doing. Amtrak has decided, after a social media push and trail run to host a writer’s residency. What Read more

I recently applied to and was interviewed for a new job which I subsequently was offered and accepted. I will be the new Communications Manager for Envirotech Office Solutions. I have big shoes to fill as they bring the role in-house, but I’m very excited about the opportunity. I will start working there in the Read more

I’ve gone back to a customized Confit theme on my blog because I find it easier to read and navigate. I find it cleaner than the new Twenty-Fourteen and easier to customize and personalize. I know the team worked hard to create a really nice new default theme for WordPress, but it didn’t work for Read more

Despite it costing a bit more money to have Internet in Georgetown, Distributel is the company that I decided to go with after talking to some of Annie’s family and I’ve written about their service a few times on this blog. Feel free to search out my Distributel posts if you are interested. I’ve sprinkled Read more

For those that haven’t seen it yet, Annie and I are slowly working away on our wedding website: OurGeorgetownWedding.com. We’ve put up details about where the wedding is being held, reception location, hotels in the area, and more. While we’ve been hoping to add more to it than we have, there are dozens of projects Read more

So, at the end of this month, I’m moving again. This time, I’ll be moving from my bachelor apartment above a convenience store to renting a house from a friend of Annie’s family. It will mean that things are going to be even tighter when it comes to money, but it will be a healthier Read more

I go through periods where I just don’t feel like blogging, and I’m in that state right now. Even this post was hard to create. There are unfortunately some really great moments in my life that I didn’t record in a post, and I’m sad about that because my memory can be so horrible sometimes. Read more

Last night, I sang at Annie’s Catholic church. I don’t have a good singing voice and I don’t like singing in front of people. So why did it I do it? Annie and her other choir attendees asked me to sit with them this week since they were low on numbers. I decided to do Read more
