Grey Morning in a New Reality
Outside the window, grey clouds fill the sky and raindrops stream through the air. A warm morning for an early December day, the weather being more likely for mid-November. The rain does not bother me as I am sitting in a GO train headed to downtown Toronto, and getting ready for the start of a…

Out with the Old
I’m preparing for what I hope will be a new phase in my life. And one of the things I need for this change is a revised online presence. I’ve experimented with various ideas and concepts. And I want to try and implement them in my life. One of the first to feel the changes,…

Update – A Week in Review
This has been quite a busy week in hindsight. I managed to build up my portfolio and work on my professional image. I managed to restart my coding and writing projects. And I’ve finished up on my correspondences. I look back and I’m quite proud of my achievements. I just wish I could move such…

Upgraded to Yellow Stripe
A quick little update, cause I want to concentrate on my personal work today before the workday begins. Finally caught up on my immediate projects, and I can concentrate a bit more on my personal and professional development. Also I’ll crank out a good deal of writing and code in the next few days hopefully. …

Parting with the Somber
I changed the theme for the blog again. Back to the nice calm, natural feel that I so very much enjoy. Also I am parting from the somber mood. Maybe this is a bit premature. Maybe not. But I can’t help it… I want to bounce back to my cheery, crazy self again. Maybe I…

Forced March
Another quick update on the writing. I managed to write up the second thread/part of chapter one. I am not in the mood for writing today actually. But I’m going to force myself to keep writing. Once I have the entire book on paper I can agonize over it later. Content first, editing later. Anyways…

Update on Writing
Yesterday I wrote the first section of chapter 1 of my novel. I’m not sure about all the elements of the novel, especially the names and characters. I might not want to base my characters completely on real life friends. But I will work with what I have as a rough, rough first draft. I…

Sleepless Night
I really ought to go to sleep now. My bosses will hate me for dragging myself into work zombie style. But I can’t help it. I plan on getting a few things done before I get up… or rather before I go to sleep. Or even more accurate before the time I want to get…

An Encore
I didn’t update my blog yesterday. Life turned out busier than I could imagine. I am still catching up on things. I took on so many tasks. I have a trip to plan. Writing and reading just piles up around me. I’m not sure in which direction I should concentrate my efforts. My efforts to…

A Weekend of Inaction
This weekend turned out not as productive as I planned it to be. Instead of working on any writing or replying to any e-mails or doing any real computer-related work. I did enjoy the guilty pleasure of semi-disconnecting from the Web. This disconnect actually helped with the dose of soul-searching and self-pity that comes with…
