TextDriver!

Well it's official, I'm now a member of the TextDrive staff. I'll be helping out with their documentation efforts, as well as doing my day job, and I'm incredibly excited to be part of the team. To be honest, I'm

My iBook Returns

Laptops are delicate, tempermental creatures that can cause much anguish and frustration. My iBook is no exception. For the last month or so my iBook (I call it Arthur, for lack of a better name) has been on sebatical with the third-party support people associated with CompuSmart. That was a

Lifetime!

Finally, after 9 months, I’m a lifetime Weight Watchers member! I weighed in this Wednesday and all was well, so that makes the diet officially over. And I must say, it was a very positive experience. To give you some background, in case your just tuning in, I’ve

Maintenance Continues

Things are looking good. I only lost 0.6 pounds last week so I think I may finally have it nailed. I certainly get to eat more then when I was trying to lose weight and it's a nice change. Working out helps too even though I find

Equilibrium

OK, my weigh-in wasn't last week, it was this week. And good news, I gained a little weight since my last weigh-in so it looks like I may have this whole maintenance thing sorted out. I was getting little worried there for a bit. This leaves me with

More Points

Now that I hit my goal weight (180 pounds), I’ve started a maintenance program so that I don’t gain it allI lost more weight again this week, which means I get another 14 points added on to my already handsome weekly total of 63 points. I’m definitely

Not Quite Maintenance

Well that was strange. Two weeks on the maintenance program and I'm still losing. I weighed in this week and it turns out I just lost another 2.4 pounds. Most peculiar and unexpected too. When I started the maintenance program I didn't really expect to

Maintenance

Now that I hit my goal weight (180 pounds), I’ve started a maintenance program so that I don’t gain it all back again. Weight Watchers is quite sensible that way and it really helps you plan for the long-term. Obviously I can’t go back to the way

Goal!

After 6 months of dieting, and much weighing, I've finally reached my goal weight of 180 pounds. Indeed! So that makes it a total of 50 pounds lost then. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Let the clothes buying spree commence! Anyway, now I'

StuffIt Expander Problems

If you’ve been having problems over the last few days with StuffIt Expander, where by it takes forever to launch (the application fails to launch), this thread over in the TextDrive forums will help to explain things. Apparently, the Alladin update server was down, so all you have to

Textpattern is Go!

I’ve been meaning to do a re-design for what seems like ages and now it’s finally (for the most part) done. I thought the previous design was a little too dark and the menu too, well, blocky and unattractive. You should also note that I’ve switched from

iTunes Hits the North!

The iTunes Music Store has finally launched in Canada! It’s about bloody time. Interestingly, with the exchange rate, it seems like us Canadians are getting quite the deal. Or at least it appears that way — I’ve never quite gotten a hold of the whole conversion thing and how
