New Camera Accessories Ordered
So yesterday, I was feeling super down, and got thinking about photography, the only thing that seems to hold my interest and make me feel better. I decided that I wanted to look on eBay to see what inexpensive things they had that I could add into my kit. My…

Minecraft Update
So my cousin and I are still playing Minecraft, and in order to facilitate a better gameplay experience, I decided to convert my VPS into a dedicated MineCraft server. This means that it is no longer hosted on my cousin’s computer. Secondly, I decided that we should start anew. My…

Office Move This Week
I’m in the middle of a hellish week. There is so much to do regularly, and on top of that I’ve had IT emergencies I’ve had to deal with. Unfortunately, to make matters worse, our office is moving this week. On Thursday, I’ll go from being able to walk to…

Firefly From Start to Finish
This past weekend, I also got to go to Barry’s again. It was nice to see him again. Hanging out with him feels like being home with family and I’m not afraid to admit that I was bummed when I had to leave. While there, I got to play another…

Miss the County of Bruce
I remember thinking numerous times while I worked for the County that I would never miss the place, and I was right. I don’t miss Walkerton and I don’t miss some of the work I was doing, but I definitely miss all the people I work with. Every day, for…

Visiting My Uncle
So on the weekend I went to visit my Uncle and his family in Ottawa, for the first time on my own. I’ve almost always had someone else with me, be it my brother, mother, or ex, so I actually had a bit of anxiety about visiting alone, especially since…

Samsung Galaxy S Update
So Bell got me a new phone, and it looks like I got one before they went on backorder which is doubly nice. There are many people on Facebook and on other messaging boards that are continuing to complain about the Samsung Galaxy S and its poor build quality, and…
