Now that I’ve finally got Moveable Type working right, I think I will try to use this site for better communication with people (i.e. get more hits :-)

For some of you this post will be redundant, and you don’t need to read any further. For those of you who thought I dropped off the face of the planet, well, I’m back! A brief update on my life so far:

I’m still working as a senior software developer at Axonwave Software (formerly Gavagai Technology), the company I helped start. I live in Fraser Heights, Surrey, BC, and I attend Peace Portal Alliance church in White Rock (where, of course, I sing on a worship team and in the choir).

In my spare time I practice Taekwondo, read a lot, do research into operating systems and space flight simulation, roller-blade and sometimes I’m even seen swing dancing.

Health-wise I’m doing great. No heart problems for the last couple of years, and although I put my back out (again!) rather badly at the beginning of the summer, it’s fine now.

My bro Kent lives in North Battleford, SK, where he’s launching into a career as a classical singer (he’s singing Messiah with the Saskatchewan Symphony this fall).

My little sister Carolyn is a doctor! She graduated from UBC this spring and moved to London, ON to do her residency in family practice.

Have had a bit of a flu for the past few days. Took work off Monday and Tuesday, but I dragged my sorry carcass in today. Still not quite recovered, but as usual getting a bit bored at home. I played around with OpenGL texture mapping a bit, though, and did some long flights in FS2K3.

I watched Black Hawk Down for the first time. For some reason based on some reviews I read a long time ago I had the idea that it was cynical and anti-military, but that was certainly not the case. Pretty much a straightforward portrayal, the only strong message highlighting comradeship. Pretty good, actually.

Paintball again today. As usual, I’m too agressive in the first push, and often get cut off and shot in the back. And I’m way out of shape. I guess last week with friends we were moving around more slowly. I dunno if I’ll keep going, though, the initial excitement is wearing off a bit.

In Honour of the Publication of Mr. Stevenson’s latest Work, I have modified the Biographical Portion of this Journal to reflect my Admiration of the Grace and Style of his Writing.
