Getting my inner geek on. Whether it’s talking about the latest NVIDIA chipset or Optimus Prime, I’ve got it covered here!

Mom and AM can’t pronounce “sword”.

I think this may be true of all Chinese people, at least the Cantonese-speaking ones. Seriously, ask a Cantonese speaker you know to say “sword”, and it will seem like they’re incorrectly hooked on phonics! Esmond and I had to explain for several minutes to Mom and AM that the “w” was silent. We even [...]

More website design stuff.

The weekend was pretty decent, though I wasted a lot of time redesigning the WordPress theme for this blog, even though it’s temporary. I especially spent lots of time on designing headers, since this theme has support for random headers. More on those headers later (if you haven’t noticed them at the top).
Wil is away [...]

The ChickenBall has a new home!

I consolidated all my domains together and got myself a sweet spot for web hosting. I have no idea why, since I don’t have enough time in my life to blog, but it’s only approximately $100 a year for hosting - and that includes all my websites as well as websites I host for other [...]

Amazon screwed Canada over. Stuff about my budget.

I used to order stuff from Amazon.com. Even with the inflated dollar a couple years back, it was still a better deal than buying from Amazon.ca. Music for $10, movies for $15, it was a steal! Video games used to be a part of that deal, but then Amazon.com stopped shipping to Canada. I always [...]

Not so live.

Well, everything is all setup with the website. I purchased two domains - one for the WP and one for the network. The WP domain already points to my web host, but the site is not live yet. Soon, hopefully.
Oh, that’s pretty much it for updates.

It’s the WP!

I got a little side-project going on with the WP - I was asked by Dad to change the prices on the menu. Unfortunately, I have no idea where I placed the original document that had the menu inputted. After having multiple boxes with different OSes over the years, my personal folder got separated and [...]

Laziness and procrastination, but is it justified?

I haven’t written a blog entry since last year (haha, that NEVER gets old), and no thanks to my 13-hour work days during the week, all the spare time that I do get is spent on other things, like reading, watching TV, and pretty much anything else that doesn’t involve an F for effort (sorry, [...]

A week back from Toronto, and the Toyota Matrix.

Well, I’ve been back from Toronto for about a week now - it was an amazing trip, and while I don’t remember what happened on the trip in Winnipeg anymore, I made sure to type up some blog notes on my phone on a daily basis while I was there. So, one of these days, [...]

NASA lacking Wi-Fi? Hire me to do it, then!

NASA Announces Plan To Bring Wi-Fi To Its Headquarters By 2017
HOUSTON—Still relying on a single dial-up modem, NASA employees continue to get disconnected when someone at the Johnson Space Center picks up the phone to dial out.

Uhh… I just set up wi-fi at work over the weekend. It’s not rocket science. And isn’t that what [...]

I am sick. Not in the head, though.

I somehow caught a cold flu on Friday. It hit me hard that day. Although I was well enough to go to the WP for work yesterday, it was a rough time, and I couldn’t do deliveries. I sucked down some liquid Tylenol (because I can’t swallow pills) to stave off the fever, and although [...]
