Since I'm home alone, I have to take care of the cats and make sure that they're doing well. In the house are two cats, the mom cat, Baby and the daughter cat, Nut Nut (Nite Nite). They're both cool cats but sometimes they're a little annoying, especially Nut Nut when she's walking around the [...]

I've just received confirmation from McMaster stating that they are offering me admission for the September 2008 semester. It took a while for them to get back to me and I was starting to lose hope but I finally got a reply on the status of my application. Now I just have to wait until [...]

If you ever get a chance to go up north, Tobermory is a very beautiful place to visit. It has the clearest blue water that I've ever seen. It's a very busy tourist location with lots of things to do. Anyone who loves the outdoors will definitely love Tobermory. Tobermory is located about four hours from [...]

Earlier today, I took Jenn to the airport. It was a sad day for the both of us since we have to part ways for another six months or so. This long distance relationship stuff is hard, mostly on her. I'm able to bear most of the pain and hold back the tears so that [...]

For the long weekend, Jenn and I went up north for a couple of days. I've been to Tobermory before but it was way back when I was in high school. The one thing about Tobermory that stood in my mind was how crystal clear the water of Georgian Bay was. I return, over ten [...]

1/60 sec | f5.6 | 55mm I took picture of these flowers during the early morning outside of a bed and breakfast in. I'm not sure what they're called but they look like Coreopsis. If you know for a face that they're something else, please let me [...]

Last Saturday, Jenn and I paid a visit to Casa Loma. It's a place that Jenn has visited before but it was a long time ago. I've never been there and I've only heard of it from Jenn. I didn't quite know what to expect but it was a nice trip back in time. Casa Loma [...]

Last weekend, Randy Pausch passed away due to metastasized pancreatic cancer. I've never met him in person but I've a video of his last lecture. It was very inspirational and very motivating. Pausch was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon and his last lecture was viral. I've heard of people advising others to have fun [...]

Site News

I am in the process of merging my blog with my photoblog. I got a little tired of having to manage to different parts of the site so I decided to put them together.

The service is done importing the entries into the existing database but it still has to move the uploaded files over. If all goes well, everything should be added and I should be all set. I just have to edit them so that everything shows up on the main page.

I'm sorry for the downtime of this site but it couldn't be helped. My hosting company attempted to charge my credit card but it was declined because I had canceled my credit card. I told them that but they still went ahead and suspended my account. Nonetheless, it's up and running now and everything is back to normal.

It's been a long time since the layout of this site has changed. I want to keep on top of this whole designing hobby of mine so I'm planning on making a new layout soon. If time permits me out of my busy schedule, I'm hoping to get something out around the beginning of September.

My site was down for a few minutes because the system administrator was doing some maintenance on the database. My whole website is pretty much database driven so if that goes down, most of my pages will fail, especially my blogs.

I gave 1&1 a call and the person I spoke with informed me that the system administrator was doing some work on a machine and my database just happened to be on that machine. He said that it might be down for a while but no more than 12hrs. Majority of my visitors would be sleeping right about now so they won't notice it much.

Miraculously, my site was back up as soon as I got off the phone with 1&1's tech support. This was the first time I had to call them up and they were pretty good about it. That's why I usually recommend 1&1 to people that ask about web hosting.

After Munni posted a link in the shoutbox, it kind of made things not look quite right. The shoutbox isn't meant to contain words that are super long.

Right now, I'm trying to truncate the links so it'll show the domain but turn that into a link. I'll be working on hyphenating words that are more than 32 characters long. But one step at a time here.

Please let me know if things don't work for you and I'll have them fixed.
