So, whatcha been up to?

I was kinda surprised to see how long it was since I last posted. I knew it had been a while, just didn't realize how long.

Lots has happened for me these past couple of years. That last job I had? I quit that just short of my 5 year anniversary. Some changes happened at the company that made me realize it wasn't where I wanted to be. Despite the fact that they wanted to keep their "small company" feel, it got too corporate for me.

I felt like I spent more time justifying my time there than actually doing anything creative so I left. I started my own company doing pretty much the same thing. I even managed to get myself a few contracts. Enough to keep me working for a couple years.

Then this summer, out of the blue I found out that one of my clients had moved to town and set up shop. Not only that but they may want to hire me.

Fast foward a few months and even though I'm still self employed, the liklihood of re-entering the work force is quite high.

On the home front, that house we moved into - we're still there. Kinda nice to be settled.

My use of linux has expanded. I've been using Linux exclusively for some time now. I use Fedora 8 on my home computer, Ubuntu on my work computer and home laptop. I even have my wife converted to Ubuntu. Just gotta get my son to switch now :)

So that's a quick update - there's been lots of other stuff but I'll save that for later posts.

It's super Tuesday

Being a Canadian I don't much care who the next president is (usually) as long as it's not GWB. Thankfully this year will mark the end of his dismal career in the Whitehouse. But this year I have been paying attention as a lot of Canadians are I think. That is because for the first time in history you have the opportunity to see a black man or a white woman in the oval office. The only problem is that they are in the same party, however the fact that one of these 2 will become the leader of a major political party in the US and therefore have a really good shot at being the next president makes this an interesting story to follow. Add into the mix the fact that I believe many Americans are tired of not only Bush politics but Bush's party altogether and the chance of a black or female president becomes that much greater. So today is bigger than some people may realize because today's voting may decide who the next president of the US is.

Trailer Trash

For a long time I've been lead to believe that the term "trailer trash" was a derogatory term. But I've been thinking about this for a while and I realized that that is not the case. In fact I believe that I am trailer trash. Not only that I'm proud to admit it. You see, to me "trailer trash" represents a person (or group of people) who just don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of them. It has nothing to do with the fact that they may or may not live in a mobile home, it has more to do with an attitude, in my opinion. For example, in the city where I live, lots of people are more concerned with keeping up with their neighbours, or what their friends think of them than should be. I've lived my life these past few years just how I want to. I don't care what others think about me or how I live my life. And we've tried to instil that into our son - that he be more concerned with how he feels and not what others think. Because let...
