Long Time, No Entry
Yeah, I've been seriously lax at updating this thing, but rest assured I have been lurking from time to time.
I figured 6-6-06 was as good a time as any to update.
Lots of people around me have been hit with good fortune lately. Attribute it to the devil, astrology, skill, or just co-incidence, I couldn't tell you the source, but I can tell you there has been a lot of great things happening. Cosmic forces of unparalleled magnitude are aligning to form a great happy-face in the sky... look for it, it's there!
So yeah, lots of good stuff happening as of late. We acquired our clients rather unfortunately however. A web host in Arizona died suddenly because
his cancer (which was supposedly in remission) came back. The entire
business was left in his wife's (and my association a good friend's)
hands. It's been a couple of weeks now, but needless to say the wife
wasn't really capable of server administration, nor with dealing with
these clients. A business partner with whom we buy server space from
recommended us to the wife. We are just in the process of transferring
these clients to our servers. So yeah, good news for the business, but
under really unfortunate circumstances.
It also just passed by the 2 year mark since I lost my cousin to cancer. I try to support cancer research as much as I can, but here is a little way that everyone can help (and it's free). So, if you have a little extra computing power please don't hesitate to sign up to the Grid Network, which was developed by United Devices. It's a very small (but direct) way to contribute to cancer research - ahh the power of distributed computing!
Um, let's see what else is relatively new? Mum will be coming home for the summer as it is about 40 degrees Celsius and will get hotter in Dubai. Not neccessarily looking forward to that, but we'll see.
I did manage to put up most of our photos from the Dubai / Kenya trip, so browse at your leisure. No real summary or captions on the photos as of yet, but rest assured I will get to them some day... LOL
Our first Dragonboat Race is coming up this Sunday in Mississauga, come out if you want to cheer us on... hehe.
I will leave you with a funny (yet stupid) image a friend sent me today. Made me laugh though...
