Some unusual sights today Snow in February? Only where Black Christmas was being filmed. A southbound 17 Oak bus turning west onto 57th Avenue. Where is this driver going? The same bus turning southbound on Granville Street from 57th Avenue. Actually there the police blocked off Oak Street southbound so even the buses had to detour. How often do you see a bird inside a Costco warehouse? (You’ll probably need to zoom in to actually see the bird)

I am currently a software developer at A Thinking Ape Entertainment Ltd. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science with the Software Engineering Option. I primarily speak Python and C# these days, but in the past I've also done Objective-C, Java and PHP.
Outside of work, I'm a volunteer on the youth ministry team at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, and also on the Canadian Ski Patrol team at Mount Seymour. I'm also an avid transit enthusiast/photographer.
IB on Ice
I think this was one of the more fun mandatory-fun events (in the IB program, there are many extra sessions and events that are mandatory, and hence called “mandatory fun”). Haven’t skated for few years and I found out I can still skate, barely, in the forward direction :). Ok so yes I did learn figure skating before, but that was when I was young and I’ve lost most if not all or my figure-skating skills since then. Bad points: Skate rentals take way too long, and they should keep their skates sharpened Time on ice was too short Going around Continue Reading
If I learned one thing useful from the IB mock exams…
…it would be to read the data/information booklet. The math mock exam was interesting. Six questions in one hour. Seems easy enough…only if I had the sense to read the information booklet, which contained some formulae which I could have used on the exam. I looked at the booklet after the exam ended, which was very stupid of me. Anyway, all mock exams completed! Yay! Now back to weeks of classes! Yay!
We’re ditching MyBB!
Here is the outcome of one of our shortest MyBB developer meetings: [22:45:13] Chris says: okay [22:45:15] Chris says: we’re ditching mybb [22:45:18] Dennis says: yeah [22:45:23] Peter says: sure [22:45:24] Dennis says: ok [22:45:25] Peter says: 😛 [22:45:26] Dennis says: agreed [22:45:30] Chris says: alright, glad thats resolved [22:45:33] Dennis says: bye [22:45:37] Peter says: bye, lol [22:45:47] Chris says: cya No we were just kidding 😉 Anyway, I’ve got part of my SVN back up, and I’ve started committing a little bit, after having no commits for who knows how long. I still have a lot of stuff Continue Reading
Two down, four to go
I completed the Physics and English mock exams today. Mr. Barois gave us the May 2005 IB exam to do (surprise surprise), and certain people during the break were previewing the answers to the Paper 2 on their laptop computer. In my opinion, that just completely defeats the purpose of a mock exam though, cheating in that way, not just having an unfair advantage over everyone else. The Paper 1 part was fine I guess, since it involved more of the theory than doing calculations. However, I screwed up the Paper 2, and left many blank. English was fine, in Continue Reading
