The Spring of Eternal Winter
I lean my shovel, against the icy snow lining the bottom of my driveway. Exhaustion clouds my thoughts. At least I have defeated the mechanical monstrosity called the snowplough truck. This time maybe it will not come for a while. I watch the dirty brown trickle of melt water, as it skirts the melting floes.…

Episode 2: In Search of Coffee
*Yawn* Olaf rubbed his eyes. He got out of bed, turned on the computer, and shuffled down the stairs to the kitchen. Must have coofffeeee… Olaf thought. Another late, late night kept awake by the thought of the end of the semester. Coffee. He prepared the stove top espresso machine. His body went through the…

Episode 1: Quantum Computing for… Dummies?!?
Olaf squinted at the text document. He tilted his head. Scratched it twice, and yawned. Crap. No matter which way he approached the problem, it seemed like a mountain. One of those mountains, that looks like a molehill at a close distance, but you walk into like you would into Mount Everest. The problem being…

A Requiem for a Blog
Introducing the One-Time Trash Pad Greetings victim err… I mean reader. You stumbled across this strange journal, about the life of a frustrated writer. It mildly resembles my own life. But only superficially. So if its not about me, then why does it exist? The journal serves two purposes. Firstly, I get to throw around…

Home Again, Home Again…
Back in sunny, and fortunately not scorching-hot Toronto. Actually, I flew in on Wednesday but I need about two days to unpack, clean up and readjust. Everything around the house is still in various levels of disorganization, disaster and chaos. So nothing much changed since I left, at least around here. Anyways, currently I am…

Travel-o-mania
Okay today was catch up day. Too tired to write much. Too much planning of the trip, and getting the front yard done. More stuff tomorrow, promise. Maybe. At least I finished editing the Style Guide for the justCheckers project. Also played a bit of World of Padman and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., both are quite fun and…

The Plague (Part 2): Repulse
More late breaking news from the quarantine zone at home. My brother managed to infect both my father and me. Fortunately I seem to got it easy. After a super-tiring day with a headache, frozen limbs (thanks to the combined efforts of two bus transit systems), starvation and a light-headedness, I got up this morning…

Adjusting to Easy Schedule
I am not good at adjustments. The switch from a super-busy, near-hyper-kinetic schedule to a “normal” lighter schedule keeps on throwing me off. Hence the lack of updates since Friday. Yesterday was the great chill day. Today was the great after-chill day. Meaning, I did not get too much done when it comes to assignments…

Gee… I Feel like a Tree
No I mean it. I feel like a tree, and everybody wants a piece of me. Turns out that for all my well made plans, all of my last assignments happen to be group endeavours. And even with my best laid plans, it seems that the meeting times for my groups coalesced into a single…

Panic Supression and Firefighting
Day 3 of Hell week #1. At least the security assignment is out of the way. I wish I could say the same about the library research assignments. Moral of the story: Don’t take too many assignment/paper courses in one term, and verify that the courses assignments are before the frigging midterm comes. Well too…
