New Headers...

I've made some updates to the visuals... but they don't FREAKING SHOW UP!!! :@:@:@

Uhm...

O_o If you are one of the few subscribers... sorry for the false posts. You might be getting a few more over the next little while. I've been going back to label my old posts :p Ciao for now.

New Random Header Feature! :)...

Over the last week I've been working on a new Header/Banner. I actually wanted to make it more fancy, but that would go against my 'motto' As Simple As Black & White. I'm still not satisfied with them, but... one thing that I AM happy with is the random banner hack!!! Don't know what I'm talking about? Hit F5 and you'll see ;)

It took awhile to figure it out (I was actually trying to just add code to the template, but apparently it won't work that way. After about 3 hours of trying, I decided to do a search and found this site: freeyasoul. His code is specific to his template, but I managed to figure out what I had to do and I'm fairly pleased with the end result :)

Below are the 5 headers that I've uploaded:

Messing With Blog...

Uhh... if you see stuff jacked up or out of place... Chances are, I'm screwing around with the template :)

Upgrading Again...

It looks like the people @ Google have finally figured things out :) I'm able to post comments again, and I'm able to edit the HTML in the template! That being said.. I'll slowly be reworking the layout again... time permitting, of course.

Oh ya... those of you who don't know yet, I am no longer jobless :p

Overhaul...

Weeeeeeeeee... Blogger has opened beta to us and it's full of new features :)... I'll slowly be overhauling to make everything all purdy 'n' stuff :P

oo.. I'll have the pics from EK's surprise berfday party soon ;)

*update*

It seems that I can't edit the HTML in the template yet, so I'll be going back and forth while I'm playing around with the settings. :P

Moving on...

Well... here I am, back from the dead. I know it's been over a month since I last posted (a real post) and now I can explain what was going on. First, yes, I have attempted to post in the past... but the two times that I was about to update the blog 1) blogspot crapped out and I had not saved the post as a draft... and 2) my laptop crapped out before I saved what I had written over the 2 hours. Now on with the show :)

Apart from the above mentioned... here is what has been going on since I have landed back on Canadian soil...

I am happy to say that I am no longer single. As of March 7th Jacq and I are officially a couple :) There isn't much to explain apart from the fact that she's brought an immesurable amount of happiness into my life. Our relationship is great so far, and she and I are working to see what we can do to come together :)...

On another note, before I took off on the trip, I had already been contemplating resigning from my position at the IBM CSC. To be honest, I had not thought too much about it over the trip (being on vacation and all) but when I went back to work again my mind went into overtime, driving me nuts trying to decide whether I was going to stay there or not. Those of you who are observant will realize that I'm speaking in past tense, so yes, I finally decided to resign.


On Friday March 30^th I went into a meeting with my HR rep.. followed up on all the things that we talked about before I left for Malaysia/Singapore, and at the end of the meeting let her know that I was going to tender my resignation on Monday. To my surprise, she was actually expecting it:

"Yea, I could tell from the moment you got back into work. Your attitude had been different all week."
"Really? But I'm always very impartial :)"
"Yeah, but you've been even more impartial this week."

That's not exactly how the conversation went that day, but it's pretty close.

For those of you at IBM who may be reading this, it was not an easy decision... There were even tears shed during the exit inverview, and I have to say JM is a great guy, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. My decision to leave was a result of a culmination of many different things, but mainly to come back and help my father w/ his business. :) Though that is the main reason, I am not ruling out other options... That would be another post in itself ;)

Accept it or not, those are the main reasons I have not posted in such a long time... that and the fact that my laptop mobo/vid card is slowly crapping out :(

On w/ the show...

Yes I'm Still Alive...

For my two readers who are wondering... Yes, I'm still alive and plan to get back into the swing of things :p I'm just taking some time to slowly get things together :) Regular posting will resume shortly ;)
