Today has flown by! I’m

Today has flown by! I’m building a reporting system between interuptions. It’s going to be really cool, and uber-maintainable so I can add people to contact lists, add and schedule reports and other neat-o stuff without having to restart anything. Sweet, huh? Yeah, I know, it’s keen. In other news, apparently it’s Canada Day. So, […]

We had a big combined

We had a big combined birthday party for my mom, and my in-laws. Their birthdays are all in the first week of July so we decided to have a big dinner. We ended up talking about politics (it was all my fault). With a fun cross-section of political reasoning at the table it was lively […]

This week I’ve: Painted part of the basement red Installed hooks in the basement ceiling […]
