Yes, I did move last year. But this time I’m moving out which is somehow entirely different. read more…

Alright, so that was an overly dramatic title. But it has some truth to it!

A few weeks ago, a hard-drive in one of our main servers at work started to die. It wasn’t bad at first. In fact, the damages went unnoticed for a little while before we caught it. We had backups of everything important so it could never have been very disastrous. read more…

I was reading through a question on Stack Overflow about how being a programmer gives you certain real-life habits. A few of these are markedly true for me. For instance, the lack of copy/paste while I am writing using plain pen and paper is a persistent and unescapable thought whenever I find myself assigned the task. Along the same lines, I am continuously reminded of how limited print media is due to the missing “Find” feature.

I went to bed Saturday night at around 01:30 (well I suppose that makes it Sunday morning!). I was laying in bed listening to my iPod, trying to fall asleep, when I noticed a light shining through my window blinds. My bedroom faces the street, so I figured it was just a car going past. When it didn’t go away, I guessed it was probably just my neighbors bright porch-light.

After about 10 minutes, I finally realize the strange way the light is dancing across my ceiling. I was slightly baffled now — I looked around my room expecting to see my MacBook on the dresser, with it’s familiar pulsating front light that indicates it’s sleeping. Usually I cover up any source of light in my bedroom; I find it hard to sleep otherwise. That night was no exception — the MacBook LED had been covered by a strategically placed sock.

Curious, I got up to look out of my window. And thats when I first saw the flames. The house next door was on fire.

So it’s been a LONG time since I last made a post on this blog. But I do post on devlog and the deskpro blog from time to time. Also I use twitter sometimes. read more…

I went to get my wisdom teeth removed earlier this week.

While not a very confortable procedure, and post-op sucks, it wasn’t/isn’t that bad. Everyone I asked was making it sound like it was so horrible. But I guess I got off easy because I was only there for about 45 minutes, and came home and was surfing the ‘net without any trouble.

I went in at 11′oclock in the morning. They first explained what was going to happen. Then they gassed me with some laughing gas. What a wonderful feeling that was ;-) I asked them what was the point in the laughing gas, and they said it was so putting in the IV didn’t hurt. I guess it worked, because it was painless. I asked why they called it laughing gas (because I wasn’t laughing). Shortly after that I remember fighting the urge to giggle :-D

Then they gave me some pain meds. And then finally they put me out.

I remember a little stinging sensation in my hand as the drug went through the IV. I remember thinking, “Well this is a little uncomfortable”. And then I was awake 45 minutes later. So strange, I don’t remember going to sleep or waking up. Apparently the first thing I said upon waking was “that was fast”.

My gums are a little sore, and I’m getting tired of the taste of blood, but it’s not that bad at all. I was prescribed some antibiotics to fight off infection and some pain meds. The pain meds are these little pills called Toradol and they seem to work. I only really needed them the first day, but they do tend to reduce the uncomfortableness of the whole thing so I keep taking them.

So far the worst part of it all is the taste of blood every second of every day and eating mushy food. There’s a kit-kat chocolate bar in my fridge, like some cruel joke. And stories on digg about the best home-made pizzas. I never thought I’d care that much!

For those of you who want to see them (in all the disgusting glory): http://files.chroder.com/img/wisdom-teeth.jpg

Anyway, thats enough about that. See ya later :-)

I had to break blogio-silence for this. Today, out of boredom, I decided to Google my name. I think I’ve found my twin. He must be the evil one (Onimua is convinced I’m the evil one, but that just can’t be true). I present you with Chris Nadeau who enjoys talking about his family, sports, work… and of course web-based technologies. A quick scan through that blog reveals he also lives in Canada. Funny thing is, I found the blog through one of his posts on a service called Yugma. A service that I just started using, too (it’s great by the way, highly recommended). This impostor must be stopped at once!

All jokes aside, I can’t believe I have to compete in Google for my own name! I didn’t think anyone who happened to share my name would be as ‘googlable’ as I was. I guess I’ll have to SEO myself.

Today I passed the PHP5 certification exam, making me an official Zend Certified Engineer (ZCE). Cool.

So I started up a new developer blog this weekend over at Devlog.info. Check it out :)
