This week is the start of the last term of my 2-year program (Computer Systems Technology aka CST aka programming) here at BCIT. It's been a long, but enjoyable journey and I still have about 5 months to go. The nice thing about being in our final term, is our work load is supposed to be a little bit less hectic than our previous terms. Some people don't seem to … Continue Reading »
As most of you know, I am in my 2nd year here at BCIT in their Computer Systems Technology (aka CST) program. What people might not know is, you can use a a Mac to get all of your school things done, but it is a bit tricky at first. At least it was tricky, there are some nuisances but I am sure I will overcome them. Recommended Computer Specifications for … Continue Reading »
One thing about where we now live is that there is a covered portion to our deck and patio. That means I can take the (new) laptop outside with me and work in the ocean breeze. The above photo is a 3-exposure HDR. The colours do make it look a bit gloomy, but the overcast sky seems to do that. I am sitting here working away on a report I have to … Continue Reading »
Well the weather has been pretty good lately here and the above photo is proof of that. The other neat thing about the beaches of White Rock (or is it Whiterock?) is that when the tide goes out, it goes out quite far! I also love how it's real sand, not that industrial sand that the other downtown water locations have. You shouldn't come home dirty from a beach! Anyway... Reno's … Continue Reading »
It came and is now gone, I guess that's how Spring Break is supposed to go right? It was a week long and it was definitely needed. School has been pretty full on, especially with just finishing up our midterms our finals are not very far away (in April). So what did we get up to? It was a nice and relaxing time, which is what I wanted before going back … Continue Reading »
October is technically not over, but it has come and gone pretty quick here as we come up to Halloween. It's also been a pretty busy month with the last couples weeks having Midterms take place here at BCIT. Robyn and I did get a chance to escape over to the Island (Vancouver Island) to visit our friends for their daughter's (our God Daughter's) first birthday. Even with the BC Ferries … Continue Reading »
Since I haven't had much time to get out and take photos with my camera, I have tried to make use of my iPhone 3G. I'm not happy with the quality of the 3G, though it is roughly VGA quality so I can't really complain if it doesn't perform the way I would like it to. The autumn colours are out at BCIT. Though it seems the leaves are falling quite … Continue Reading »
A photo from our recently trip to Hornby Island of one of the Harbour Air float planes taking off after picking someone up from the Ford's Cove Marina. Someone must have some extra income to charter a float plane to a marina that isn't typically on their flying route. … Continue Reading »
I'm sitting here in the ehPod of BCIT waiting for my next lecture to start a bit bored out of my mind. I went briefly through some of the photos I have on my laptop and came across the one above. If you're ever driving by Furry Creek and have a spare moment or two, check our Oliver's Landing. It's a small little community tucked away against the shoreline at … Continue Reading »
Still being fairly busy with school, I haven't managed to get all my photos together from the wedding that Robyn and I went to at the Rockwater Resort on the Sunshine Coast in the beginning of September. It can take a while to organize the photos, export them from Lightroom, import (upload) them over to Flickr and then write about the wedding and the venue itself. Instead, I'll just share the … Continue Reading »
