Megatokyo Site Redesign PROJECT

Public beta for new website for Megatokyo webcomic. CountAlpicola, Kalium, Dark Morford and I were working on this in secret for the last 10 months. I’m glad it’s finally seen the light of day.

This was started by another team some three years ago, but restarted from scratch by our team in January 2007.
Features are numerous, [...]

Moving Day

I’ve move to Hamilton, to work for VMware Canada, out of their Burlington office. I’ll be supporting VMware Infastructure 3, in the Fault group.
My last day at MNSi was Friday September 21st, 2007. The position served me well these past 33 months. I look forward to taking the skills I’ve developed and going forward. If [...]

Temporally Relative

I’ve been working midnight shifts this week, covering for the regular off on vacation. Work 0000h midnight til 0830h, driving home, eating dinner (usually small & leftovery), and going to bed. Wake up some 7 hours later mid-afternoon, eat breakfast, do whatever for 5+ hours, then back to work I go.
I find that I continue [...]

Technology is nothing but a tool at the service of art

Computers, code, networks, these can be beautiful, magical things. Not a sort of mystical blackboxedness, but intricate intertwined systems. There’s a steady decay present, in all walks of life, from these magical places to one far darker. This haven for banality is one I strive to avoid, for I fear it. These magical energies were [...]

MNSi and Matt

I just got an interesting phone call at work from Matt, looking for MNSi’s prices for static ip. Quite fun and unexpected. I wonder whether he had intended to talk to myself..

2005 Winter Class Schedule

Here is my class Class Schedule for Winter2005. We’ll figure out how to make work fit around this. Which, as I might observe, affects J and Garran’s plans for next week.
Guys, give me a shout when you’re back.

Work and Shannon’s Tire

I found out upon arrival to work, that I wasn’t scheduled today, as it was my holiday. But since I was there anyway, I might as well get to work. Yay!
Promptly post-work I bumped over to change Shannon’s tire today, which was stubborn. ’twas rusted on quite good, but a liberal dousing with WD40 ate [...]

Work, Matt Back, Toyota Corolla

Work was more good. Learned some DSL troubleshooting stuff.
Matt is Back. I will be meeting with him tomorrow for a little long-missed socialization.
I visited the Toyota dealership again today, testdrove a 2001 Corolla (163,000Km highway, 7.5k$CA, AC, Automatic, Power doors+windows). The ride was better than the Tercel.

MNSi Lackey

I have completed my first day of training at Managed Network Systems.
I was overdressed, being the only person there with a tie on. Clayton (the owner) was there in a tshirt and jeans. Nearly everyone wore denim.
I spent almost the entire time talking with Gorden, Level2 tech, about the company structure and history, with a [...]
