RSS feed should be fixed now

I've moved my RSS feeds from FeedBurner's old backend to the new one at Google. I know this has caused some problems in the last week with the feed not being available, but everything should be fine again now. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything. I'll have some new stuff to post about soon, promise. I will say now though that I got a new job. More about that at a later date.

"I assure you, the rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated"

I'll post here again someday soon, life's a little crazy at the moment.

Working nights is the second best cure for insomnia

I work night shift now, 4-5 nights a week. My shift runs from 10pm, until 6am, with three breaks: two half-hour breaks at 12:00 and 2:00, and a 15-minute break at 4:00.

I don' think I've ever slept so soundly since I was young a kid (guess I still am young), this job leaves me completely drained by the end of the night. Unfortunately, it's taking away time from a lot of other things I enjoy, like hanging out with my girlfriend and other friends, writing on this blog, coding up silly little projects for the hell of it, staying up until the early hours of the morning playing games. You get the picture.

Ah well, college doesn't pay for itself, and I don't want to take out any student loans. Oh, speaking of money... my first paycheck couldn't possibly come soon enough... I've accrued quite a list of things i basically have to buy, like a new cellphone to replace the one that got washed with my clothes, or a new pair of headphones so I don't go crazy listening to that elevator music crap they play at work. Fun times, I tell ya...

So apparently my birthday is coming up...

6 hours or so to go... Normally I don't make a big deal of my birthdays, not since I was about 12 or so anyway. But, this is my 19th one, which here in Canada means I'm of legal age to drink. And it's pretty much a defacto Canadian tradition to get so hammered you forget your own name on this special day. With that in mind, some friends of mine have volunteered to ensure that I get suitably drunk tomorrow, starting in the afternoon and ending sometime in the early morning. :) Thanks guys! I can hardly wait. :P

I got accepted into college!

Just a couple days ago I got an offer of admission from Mohawk College (which I promptly accepted on the admissions web page.) for the Pre-Technology program which will prepare me for the Network Engineering and Security Analyst program I want to take.
