It’s been a long time since I’ve written a line of code and I’m a little out of practice. With programming, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. I haven’t done anything major or minor for that matter and I’m starting to forget how to even start writing code. For a while, I forgot [...]

Due to the economic problems that are occurring in the US, the Canadian economy is being affected as well. I thought that the bailout was supposed to smooth things out but it looks like the problems are still there. Even with the bailout, there are issues of executives wasting money and taking advantage of the [...]

The guys and I in the I.T. department don’t always get appreciated for the work that we done. Without us, things around here wouldn’t be this smooth but then again, without the user, we wouldn’t have a job. Every now and then it’s nice to get some positive feedback from the users to let us [...]

It only took me four working days but I’ve finally managed to retrieve the data from an encrypted drive. I was so stressed out from this ordeal that I couldn’t sleep at night. The impact of the whole thing didn’t set it right away but once I realized that the data on the hard drive [...]

I’m not saying that it wasn’t real before but it’s getting real now. I just got home from another lecture of Networking I and man, it’s starting to get harder and bit confusing. We covered a lot of grounds today and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do because a lot of the [...]

I haven’t been following the 2008 Federal Election as much as I’d like to this year. Usually, come Election Day, I’ll probably vote for the same candidate that I voted for last year. I’d like to know what each candidate has to offer but I don’t have time to follow all of that. I know [...]

Being a software engineering student, I’ve learned to give credit where it is due. It’s a code of honour that all software developers live by and uphold. If there’s something that I’ve heard or read from somewhere and I happen to reference it, then I tell people where I get the material from. You cannot [...]
