Forgive me father, for I have sinned.
It has been two months and a week since my last entry. I accuse myself of the following sins:

I've been working a lot recently. And I mean a LOT. Sometimes it'd be upwards of 65 hours a week at one job, then 30 hours at another job. Go To Page.

Memory Express is amazing.
Sunday night, Nick and I were researching some different places to buy RAM for our servers.

I decided to check out Memory Express's website to see what kind of prices they'd have, if they even stocked our RAM sticks... Go To Page.

It wasn't even a year ago that you bought a brand new computer with a 1 terabyte harddrive. You thought you'd never be able to fill that puppy.

Since you're so tech savvy, you also thought you'd be smart and stick with Windows XP instead of going with that crap-fest Vista, or the OS X knock-off known as Windows 7. Go To Page.

Last week was sure packed. It seems like I never have time for myself anymore, but more on that later. Now I want to focus on a great new thing for my website.

Not only are all my extracurricular activities slowly eating away my measly existance on this planet, but I now have a new "toy" to play with. Go To Page.

What a busy week. I don't even know where to start, because I honestly can't even remember how the week started out.

A lot has happened this past week, and I'm not exactly riding high on a wave of good emotions right now. Go To Page.

We've all be there before. You get a sweet stash of pictures that you don't want found. Pictures that if the guys knew you had, you'd be made the laughing stock of the group.

You know the kind... the ones with the cute fuzzy kittens and the pretty landscapes. Well have no fear. There is a way to keep them hidden where everyone can see them. Go To Page.

Not a whole lot going on in this entry aside from pointing you towards a new category in the side panel: "Tutorials"

I'm actually working on quite a bit for this place, but the only thing I have to show right now is the addition of the "Tutorials" section.

Since there's a lot of people out there who don't know much about the internets, I'm going to take it upon myself to inform them on how to survive.

The very first thing we're going to do is jump into the gritty area that'll cover the majority of your internet problems. Go To Page.

During the last month or so, I have inadvertently discovered that LinkedIn's Customer Support area is really just a structured gong-show.

For anyone who doesn't know about LinkedIn, it's one of the best Professional Social Networking websites. Essentially Facebook, but for professional adults. Go To Page.

My last entry mentioned something from Tensioncore Design Studios entitled "Project Bird Feed." On behalf of Nick and myself, I am happy to announce a working beta of the project.

It is a URL shortening tool similar to TinyURL or Bit.ly, and it can be found at http://tds.tensioncore.com/ for the time being. Go To Page.

Sickness strikes the bowels today causing my absense from work. A fine time to be struck ill, I may add, as it gives me time to mull over my current tasks at hand.

Going back to my entry "A curve of sorts," I mentioned that I was working on an undisclosed project code-named "The Dog Food Project." Go To Page.

What an epic night that started off like any other boring night: Getting off work Sunday at 8pm, I had 3 things to accomplish tonight. Who would have known it would take me travelling all over the lower mainland, have me invent a super unhealthy snack, and finally cause me to look back and think "That totally wasn't worth it."

To start this epic tale off, there's a small bit of backstory attached: I've always wanted to try making poutine at home.
We are now able to start the story... Go To Page.

The history of Blender is quite intriguing to me. Then again, I've always been a sucker for open-sourced software and the history of under-appreciated software development. I'm not entirely sure why, but it might have something to do with just a small group of people trying to accomplish something on their own.

My last entry said something about being able to create pieces really quickly using Blender, and now I'm going to explain some of the history that I promised...Go To Page.

It's been a while since my last entry, mostly because my life's been un-eventful yet way too busy at the same time.

Since my last update, I started a new Blog called "Nerd in the Kitchen" which is basically going to me talking about crazy things to do there. But that's not what we're here to talk about...Go To Page.

Sometime last week (I forget the exact day) I came home from work to find a yellow UPS delivery notice on the front door to my apartment building. Most of the time I pay no attention to them, since I never expect anything from UPS to be delivered to me.

However, for some odd reason, I felt inclined to look at which apartment it was addressed to. Perhaps it was because I was getting home at 11pm and thought that if it was addressed to anyone else, they would have picked it up by then...Go To Page.

I've recently begun a quest in real life: a search to find the ultimate BBQ sauce.

Now, since I don't have a Barbecue, this is proving difficult. However, I have set some easy standards to follow...Go To Page.
