A French - Canadian Wedding Party

Well, two of our closes friend, Luc and Emilie, got married on May 26. They arrived back in Canada on Tuesday, and we had a bit of a party for them last night...
It was a blast.
The crowd was relatively small, which turned out perfect, as it was an excellent mix of people. Thanks again to all who came and partied hardy, it was an excellent group vibe (yes I know... sounding like a flaky Hippy from the Koots).
The endurance shown by those who lasted with us until the end (circa 4am) was excellent.

The long awaited breakfast at Havana's this morning was a great follow up to the late drunken evening as well..

Programming Hell

Do While Logic Computes

For all GEEKS

_ but of course there is that small part of me that loves to find solutions to problems...
_ which is of course what programming is all about...)

Logic DOES NOT COMPUTE

On another note, work is almost worse. I'm actually getting pushed and challenged, just when I don't have time to get pushed and challenged. I'm trying to find time to pursue my GIS development baby, it's finally time to start selling, and I get stuck with writing my first Stage 2 (next step from the normal stuff I've been doing). Of course all this happens during the most difficult part of my course too...

Alright, I'll stop my whining, at least I didn't lock myself out of the house (well done Kate).
I'm also finding myself intellectually stimulated... almost like cramming for a final, if only I could find time to do a bit more Rugby.

More for next time, gotta meet my Prof for a 'virtual office hour' (use your imaginations, then forget everything you just thought of, and it's worse than that).

Ahh... the geeky life

Well, I'll admit, I'm fully immersed in my geeky life. I've been addicted to watching Battlestar Galactica, and have discovered uTorrent as a source for my addiction. So far the third season is turning out to be very interesting... perhaps someday I'll even catch up with the show...
I'm also starting to dream in code, as this programming for GIS course has some projects that take a surprising amount of time and energy... ah BCIT, how to work yourself into an early grave. It is an interesting course though, and Visual Basic is definitely an easier language to learn than Java (which I just barely passed in Uni). I'm almost getting to the point of being able to write useful programs... i.e. basic accounting etc.

So... besides the geeking out, I'm still brewing beer with Luc (neighbour and good friend). We started a coffee beer a few weeks ago and just had our first taste on Friday... damn good if I do say so myself. It really is a great invention, sort of like vodka and red bull, except it tastes better. That combination of caffeine and alcohol is sure to be my downfall.

Rugby is a bit disappointing these days. I've played a grand total of two games this season, as the only other two games I was injured (getting tackled on a gravel field is a bit painful, and I managed to bugger up my shoulder). I'm hoping to play this next Saturday, but the general lack of players and enthusiasm is starting to make me think of switching clubs for next season. I'll probably play touch with the Burnaby club over the summer and we'll see from there... My new co-worker (no, he's not my lackey) plays for Burnaby, and does some coaching etc. so hopefully I'll have enough of an in, to be able to show up and start learning how to play for real.

Yes the wedding plans are progressing... albeit slowly right now, as we're still struggling with invite design etc...
