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:
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 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
