  • Dissecting Tech – Page 15

    A chirp finally broke the silence, and Alexander turned the communications system on. “Beam me up ship.” Chris’ voice echoed slight. A moment later, Chris was standing on the bridge wearing dark grey, knee length shorts and a red hooded sweatshirt. “How is everyone today? Anything cool happen while I was gone?” His voice raced Read more

    Swivelling his chair around, Alexander looked up at his cousin. Matthew was only two years younger than Alexander, but their age difference was sometimes exaggerated because of Alexanders overactive maturity. Matthew came on board wearing dress pants, a collared shirt, a bow tie and a vest. It always shocked Alexander how much his cousin enjoyed Read more

  • Friday Office: Georgetown Edition

    When in Ottawa, Tom went to a pub every Friday for Friday Office, a chance for people to co-work in a pub while eating, drinking and occasionally interacting. It was one of the highlights of my week when I got to go. It was an opportunity to have a change of environment, and be around Read more

  • Weight Gain

    So the last two weeks, I can definitely tell that I’ve gone up in weight. I finally unpacked my scale, and was surprised just how much I’ve gone up in such a short period of time. I really have to get my weight under control, and I’ll be working hard at it the next couple Read more

    Alexander found himself waking up on the bridge of the Resurrection. The command chair had folded down flat, becoming a reasonable bed but Alexander was still exhausted. The sun shone in through the front translucent area of the ship, and illuminated the entire room. Sitting up, the chair followed his lead, and slowly adjusted upwards Read more

  • SimCity 5

    So, a few weekends back, I got into the SimCity beta, but unfortunately, I was getting my stuff from Ottawa, and laughably, it is a Windows only beta, and I only have a Mac currently. Then, I was going to pre-order the game, and realized that the Mac pre-order isn’t up yet, and the Mac Read more

  • Programming Desire

    The last week or two, I’ve really had this strong urge to write code. I’ve been wanting to program something, anything, and I’ve been frustrated in not being able to do so. I have a ton of ideas, and I can even lay out the plan for programming it, but I just don’t have the Read more

  • Old Clothing Fits

    So, one of the things I did recently was pick up some clothing that I’ve stored at my cousin’s place for over two years. It was a box, mostly filled with clothing that I didn’t even fit into when I bought it, but instead of returning, I held onto, in hopes that I would get Read more

  • Distributel

    Georgetown doesn’t have many good high speed Internet options. It is really a Bell and Cogeco stronghold. I contacted Acanac as well as Teksavvy, but neither of them could offer me a cable Internet connection. I am not really against DSL, but because I’m not planning on getting a phone line, the dry loop fees Read more

  • Money Stress

    The hardest thing sometimes is looking at my finances. During the last few years, I’ve spent far too freely, and with the added cost of moving, I’m feeling the financial pinch. Soon, I’ll be sending a bunch of money to the government for the taxes I need to pay them on this years income. On Read more
