Cars Cars Cars!

So the last few days have been pretty busy.  I have been out of the office lately traveling a lot.  I always said that traveling was the best part of my job because I could take the time to finish a job when away from the hectic’s that come with being tethered to a phone at your desk.  That being said, its good to be back.  Its damn good for getting your blood going getting back into a high paced high pressure environment.

I have also started watching all of Top Gear (a British car review show)  and I have really gotten into it.  If you haven’t heard of it, its about a bunch of blokes who sit around and chat about cars, test drive them and do crazy ass challenges such as race a Bugatti Veyron against a plane, or a bashing round of car darts!.  I seriously recommend it, top notch entertainment.

While on the entertainment front, I recently saw the new Fast and the Furious Movie, which was pretty decent.  Really kept it with the theme of Top Gear.  Seems to have been a car week for me!

Well i’m off for another night, here’s hoping all the glue and Popsicle sticks hold up and keep my server running!

Server issues!

Oh Noes!

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Been having some issues with my wordpress server…. Still thinking of Migrating it to another box, but time will tell on that one

I Challenge You! *Slaps with Glove*

Out for a bit of a boys night last night with Ricky.  Started with a Staples run and a jaunt to EB Games.  Had a BBQ then for supper and decided to go to Dooleys for a few games of pool.  I havn’t played pool in about 2 years, so needless to say I was a tad rusty.  Ricky on the other hand has been playing in a pool league and ran the table most of the night.

We ran into our buddy Sean as well.  Hes the owner of a local IT store BoomIT.  We got to talking and a challenge was issued!  We now have a standing invitation to drop him a line to play a few team matches.  Guess I’m going to have to start working on my game a bit more!

On a lighter note, Its my Bride to be’s birthday today!  Ironicly xkcd put out a birthday comic as well today.  Happy Birthday hunnie!

And the Band Played on

Watched a Aids movie / documentary last night called “And the Band Played On” on HBO.  It was weird, I was about to do some laundry and I sstarted watching it and couldnt stop watching it.  It was a really interesting and eye opening movie.  It seemed like it was going to be a slow movie but it kept me riveted!  Weird.  I say check it out

3 AM Drunken Phone Calls

So, ever get a 3am drunk call from a buddy?  I got one this morning, but luckily it was from a couple of my Friends in Vancouver.  Thank god for time zones, his 3AM call to me as he walked to the beach was a 8am call to me as I got into work!  I think I can handle those calls

I actually did it! v2

When I first bought this domain (adamchruchill.ca) I had no idea what this site would be.  To my surprise it seems to be evolving into a blog.  I already had a much neglected Tech Blog so I didn’t think it would be a good idea to make something else that will get shoved to the side.  Though over the past few days I have noticed that writing a personal blog is a lot easier than a tech blog.  I admit that I am not really that good at documenting processes when trying something new on a PC.  This can become an issue when trying to write my tech blog.

Now, to explain the v2. Simply put I started this site as a Sharepoint site.  I initially used the default layout, but after changed it to a blog.  After a few days I discovered that Sharepoint was not designed to be a blog AT ALL!!!!  That left the good ol standby of wordpress.  I ended up using a tutorial to install it on IIS 6, but that’s a post for my Tech Blog

Night all!
