On Thursday, I found this on my desk after lunch. Excited, I was! Yay! My first professional business cards! There they are! 3 different coloured cards. Green, blue and black. I probably should have picked some more vibrant colours… In case you were wondering what was in the “Yay!” package, it is a card holder. To tell you the truth, I opened that one first because “Yay!” just sounded so exciting. And here’s a glimpse of what it’s like at work:
Dennis
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.
Life of a new graduate
It’s the end of one era and a beginning of another. Three weeks ago, I (finally) graduated with a B.Sc. in Computer Science, marking the end of my undergraduate student career. Although it took six years, I think it was worth the time, especially the co-op work terms I did. After all, it was my last co-op term at A Thinking Ape that got me my full-time position there. I just finished my second week at A Thinking Ape, and so far it has been a blast. The company doubled its size since I co-oped there last year and now Continue Reading
Choose Life. Your mom did.
Found this on a car while walking through Gastown today. Cool perspective to think about.
Consider the invisible
This is the size of an 11-12 week old fetus. Aborted fetuses don’t look this nice. Last Tuesday, SFX Church was the host of the CCBR New Abortion Caravan’s first talk on their cross-country trip from Vancouver to Ottawa. Stephanie Gray was the main speaker. Check out their website for some of the imagery and video they used in their talk. After you see what happens in an abortion you will never look at abortion in the same way.
Saving keystrokes with a SSH client config file
I regularly have to SSH into my servers, and on most of the ones I connect to the SSH server is running on a non-standard port for obvious security reasons. I used to include the port number manually in the SSH command, for example: [shell] ssh seymour.dennistt.com -p 922 [/shell] This worked… as long as I remembered to type the port number in, which was probably less than half the time on the first go. So I finally got tired of having to retype the command with the port number in it. Luckily you can create a SSH client configuration Continue Reading
