Wow it's quiet around here...

Post by alex.barylski »

Is it a long weekend for everyone else too? Or is Labour day just a Canadian holiday?

Where did you all go...? :P

I'm loving this time off...I've almost got my web site content hammered out, I've setup my blog, finished with the sourceforge.net B$...

And it's only Saturday...6PM in the evening...I have until Tuesday, then it's back to work for a couple days until the next weekend...

I got accepted for another credit card this week...which is nice :P Still haven't recieved the friggen card though :?

But I've been charged for getting a balance transfer...and my bank account indicates I have a card...and I did get some special code in the mail for using it as a debit...but sitll no card :(

Ah well...if someone other than me uses it...I'll just kill them :twisted:

Baaaah...anyone feel like writing content for me???

I enjoy writing (despite being horrible at it - apparently I don't even sound like an native Englishmen) but this week...for whatever reason, I can't get "into" it

Anyways, take care ya'll be back in a while to check up on you kiddies ;)

Cheers :)

"'mer'cans" is a reference to the first Police Academy film.

I found this to be true, too. However, I also found that sunday night appears to be the busiest night of the week for web traffic for me. I guess cuz everyone's home.

I'm brushing up on (well, learning more of..) objects and design patterns. It's proving difficult because my brain is very used to procedural coding. It's also proving difficult because I keep getting distracted by Counterstrike.

Any paradigm shift is always difficult...as humans were stubborn and we all think our way is best...which for us personally it usually is, so I guess that make's it ok :P

Keep at it...

As for counterstrike? I have no idea of what that even is...video game or movie I'm guessing...please don't say board game :S

Cheers :)

No...until now...well I shouldn't say I haven't "heard" of it...cause I have...I just never paid attention to what it was...

Video Games :P

I don't play video games...so I'm out of the loop in that regard :)

Dude, it was dead around here because, for the first time in a long time, I did not even visit the forums. In fact, I didn't even get my computer on. But its OK. I am back now so we can liven it up a bit.
