Echoes in the Endless (A Preview)
Today brought many disappointments to light. Some trivial, others complicated in their machinations. Then I remembered my todo list for this year. And since a few of you asked me personally about what I’m writing. So I present to you an excerpt of chapter 1 of Echoes in the Endless. Note that this is an…

Perfection in Your Process
I have a serious character flaw. I’m a perfectionist. Nothing kills creativity like trying to get everything right the first time around. One of the most important skills I learned in professional writing: is create first, edit to perfection later. Give yourself leeway and freedom to make mistakes and to experiment. There is a second…

Nighttime Rambling about the Weekend
Too busy to blog this long weekend. Still I feel a short update is in order for my readers. Went out on Friday with the Rudy and Olga, to a nice little place in downtown Toronto called West 7. Open 24 hours, nice Italian cuisine, tea candlelights and jazzy-lounge music; basically you can’t go wrong…

Self-Motivation Pre-Game Pep Talk

Also sorting out stuff and figuring out a road map for immediate goals takes time. At least one of the stresses of whether I’ll work for my current employer more or…

An Invitation to a Party
Somewhere out there in Wolverhampton, UK, four large gents and there large group of friends, followers and groupies are having one helluva party. Unfortunately I’m not with them. As Aq pointed out on a previous blog entry, Toronto is a bit of a ways. And in days of stellar expensive flights, I couldn’t afford such…

Oops, I broke something
I broke my Internet Tablet today. Not physically. Rather I used Dolphin from KDE 4 for some file transfers yesterday. Me and my obsession running beta versions. And to add insult to injury, yanked out the cable without unmounting (safely removing) the device. Silly me. Well now the internal memory is read-only. Dmesg reports filesystem…

Football (Soccer) Madness – A Quickie Update
Ok, I’m just gonna post a quick update as part of my resolution, to post daily. I reckon that my life is not as half boring as I make it out to be… I surprised my system admin at work that my N810, is in fact a Linux device. It is true that there isn’t…
