• Working from home, not for me

• Farewell ActiveState, Hello Zenutech

  Since Zenutech is currently reinvesting all revenue into growth (equipment and advertising) and I still need to eat, there was a need to take on a job. Zenutech clients need not worry however, I am still committed to Zenutech. In fact, I should have more time to put into Zenutech because I will have more ... read more »

  Last Sunday, Crystal and I touched down at Vancouver International Airport at about 10:00 PM PST, 2 hours later than our scheduled arrival time. We ran into a bit of trouble in Toronto. The Airbus we were supposed to fly on had a mechanical problem, as did the plane that replaced it. Finally they put ... read more »
