From the “3 Week Recap” Dept.
It’s kind of sad how inconsistent I’ve become with my weblog. First post in three weeks.
Let’s run through some of the stuff I’ve been doing:
- Canada Day Weekend – (June 26th-July 1st) – Had an awesome time white water rafting with my friends. Pictures can be found on Kevin’s Site [www.kng.ca]. Looking to do it again with a 6 man raft. The actual Canada Celebrations are always cool. I stayed with Jen at the Marriot. It was a great location – only 10 minutes from Parliament Hill.
- XML Architecture – I’ve been working on a new XML-based architecture for a Mazda Canada’s web-domain. Owen and I have extended the schema I built, and we have made a working proof-of-concept. The coolest thing about this language is how generic it is. You can basically use it to describe any type of website (Flash or HTML). Very cool indeed. You’ll start to see it by fall 2003. Another “bullet” for my resume!
- My client is killing me – This week alone I clocked in over 60 hours of “billable time”. Crazy. I won’t get into the details, but we have some big things planned for DaimlerChrysler. Stay tuned.
- Running – I was doing really well just up until two weeks ago – I was running 10 km; everything was grand. Then work got busy again.
