I got to thinking today about what it is that really makes Python a great language. In fact, it's missing some features that I like ... http://godswearhats.com/2010/07/02/why-choose-python/ My buddy James and I came up with a game last year, and with the help of our friend Chris we formed a games company and published it. It's called Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot and we've made an online version that we'll be releasing pretty soon too. http://godswearhats.com/2010/06/15/published-a-game/ I spent (wasted?) a lot of time playing and eventually administering a MUD back in the 90s and early 2000s. The big draw of the MUD wasn't necessarily the game aspect, although that was important, it was the people that I got to hang out with while on there. In ... http://godswearhats.com/2010/04/09/razors-edge-mud/ I've decided to start an Open Coffee Club in Saskatoon. You can read more about Open Coffee on their Ning site. We'll be meeting at Broadway Roastery on Tuesday Feb 9th at 8pm.

My company uses Microsoft Exchange for mail and calendar, and I thought it would be valuable to record my experiences with using Mail and iCal. ... http://godswearhats.com/2009/11/04/mail-ical-snow-leopard-and-exchange/ I've decided to grow some sideburns, and dress up as Wolverine at Hallowe'en. I figure it'll probably take three months to get them full-on enough. And I get to buy a cool leather jacket :-) Update: I discovered after three days that I no longer like having facial hair. ... http://godswearhats.com/2009/08/01/sideburns/ After a year of working at my current job, I have received 15,000 emails. This doesn't include any automated ones (which I delete), spam, etc. I don't feel like I get a lot of email, so I worked it out: 365 - (2*52) - 10 = 251 working days ... http://godswearhats.com/2009/06/02/15000-a-year/ Note: accidentally published this as a page instead of a post on my site. This is from December of last year. I re-read Zapp again tonight. I've developed a love-hate relationship with that book over the years. I love the observations made in it, but I hate the ... http://godswearhats.com/2009/04/16/zapped-again/
