Last night I was putting the finishing touches to my latest YouTube video. Unfortunately it didn’t convert properly when scaling it down from DV AVI to MP4 (or something), so it’s not up yet.
But this video isn’t another Chadwarden video - though I still plan to make a few more - nor is it even [...] Read Full Story
I remember Art Berg (deceased), one of my favourite NSA speakers, saying that most things we fear never come to pass. In recent times, that statement gave me a sense of hope.
The only problem is, sometimes they do.
One of my biggest fears while I was growing up, was falling hopelessly in love with a girl, [...] Read Full Story
It’s my 26th birthday soon, and this year I plan on doing something. Wish me a good one.

I’m not joking; I’ve been sent this so-called bug twice before, albeit not recently. Since then, other equally vague "bug reports" have cropped up.
But I can’t retailiate curse at the people responsible, or throw it back at them [...] Read Full Story
Just now, at work, I received a "bug" (read: feature request) to add those "are you sure" dialogue boxes to a script.
(If you’re unaware, at the place I’m currently working everything is a "bug". You might work in such a company.)
