Slowly Putting My Apartment Together
Today, I’ve been spending some serious time getting my apartment sorted out. I’m slowly getting things organized and while I have a LONG way to go before I’m set-up, I’m happy that there is at least progress being made. Next weekend, for Canada Day, Tom and Tracey are holding an…

Delivered Groceries Help Weight Loss
Since it started getting warm out, I decided that walking to the grocery store every two or three days wasn’t smart for my comfort or sanity and instead found a grocery store that delivers. I knew that there would be an extra cost, and while groceries are already expensive, I…

120 Gigs of SD Memory
After purchasing my new camera, I realized that I now have 120 gigabytes of secure digital storage, not including the 32GB of micro-SD in my phone. I remember when having that kind of storage in any format seemed impossible, or at least hugely expensive. I have the following: 3x 32GB…

New Camera: Panasonic DMC-GF2

Gaming This Summer
I don’t know if I’ve written about this before, but I’ve basically decided to take the summer off from gaming, and as such, I haven’t been playing Star Wars, Minecraft or League of Legends. I’ve been trying to focus more of my time and attention on other things, and it…

Still Amazed by Gravity Forms
You would think that after a month and a half of working with rocketgenius supporting their (or our?) Gravity Form plugin, I would be less amazed by the near magic it creates within WordPress, but thankfully, the users I’ve been supporting continue to find new and interesting ways to twist…

Writing PHP Code Again
I have decided to start a “less than secret” secret project, and it requires me to code some PHP again, something I haven’t done a great deal of in the last year or two. Last night, I worked on over two hundred lines of code, reading tutorials as I went…

My Photography Lately
I’ve been enjoying photography immensely lately. I’ve been doing some behind the scenes photographs at the Scream All You Want shoots, as well as some of my own just to keep busy. Today, I was invited to be a photographer at the Ottawa Centre Class Party for Tracey (Tom’s wife).…
