Malcolm's Ramblings

I pretty much solely play multiplayer video games with my friends now. I don’t think I’ve played more than two hours of solo gaming for over a year now. I really appreciate that my cousin, Mark, and a long time friend, Steph, take the time to play games with me online. I think without the Read more

One of my favourite things about my job is lunch time, and not because it is a break from work, or even because it is time to eat, but the reason I enjoy lunch time at work so much is that when there are at least four IT people around, we can get a game Read more

I recently got invited to attend Cross Media TO, an event happening this July 21st at the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto, Ontario. This could prove to be a great way for various industries to realize just how interconnected the digital world makes all of them. I will be covering the event on various industry Read more

What a whirlwind weekend. I can’t believe how quickly it ended, despite some really slow parts here and there. I made it to St. Thomas without any issue, and arrived to find that the house was mostly empty. I only had to help move a couple of car loads worth of stuff, and other than Read more

The day before last on Steam, I was able to pick up Battlefield Bad Company 2 for a discounted price. It is a game my cousin seems to enjoy and since we play multi-player games together, I figured that it could be a good purchase. Other than Team Fortress 2, I am not a big Read more

Well, now that WordPress 3.0 is out, I have a lot of work to do. Various clients running on WordPress that want me to upgrade their installs, and then upgrading my own installations (maybe another good kick in the butt to completely transition to WordPress.com?). In the end, I’ll probably spend four hours upgrading installations, Read more

Read the previous post first: Ordered Glasses Online. I was worried about ordering glasses online, but I really enjoy shopping online. If companies can perfect virtual dressing rooms and better images and video of products, I’d probably order a lot more stuff online. The company I ordered my glasses from is Clearly Contacts. I did Read more
