It seems no one wants a good second-hand sound card…

It seems from the lack of registrations and bids on the sound card I have up for auction at Joffee Auctions that no one wants it. If no one bids on it, I will try selling it on eBay. I tried that with the 2GB RCA Lyra, and no one bid on it the entire time! Oh well, I guess I can use it for now…

I’m all day in town!

I’m posting this from work on my laptop, as I think I am stuck in town all day! Kinda tough, but a shift today is more money for my next paycheck!

Decrypt this encoded message if you can!

I’m throwing out a challenge to everyone out there for anyone to try and decode the message I have encrypted with the crypto-system I have came up with. The encoded message is as follows:

ADBEABDIAIAFAGCBBGDICDACAHAACEDIBCAHCADIBFAFCFAIBADIAHCCABACDIADBEABDIBGBICIAEDIBBAHBD

Good luck trying to decrypt it! Post a reply or contact me if you think you have solved it! I won’t even try to guess at how secure this is, or long it will take for someone to solve it!

No one’s hiring in the computers field right now…

It looks like no one is hiring in the computers field right now. Oh well, just means I probably should work harder at McDonalds for now, and hope that Joffee Publishing Inc. and its network takes off soon! I am awfully tired of working in the fast-food sector!

Also to my fellow Canadians: Have a Happy Canada Day!

My paycheck was bigger than what I was expecting!

My paycheck today was bigger than what I was expecting! This means I may be able to help a friend out, by getting him the two domains that he wanted. It also means I can eat food from work still. Life is good for a change, but I know it may not stay this way.

Today before work, I am going to go see if I can get a job application from a  computer place. Hopefully I will be able to, because I am tired of working in a fast-food place. I also do not want to work for McDonalds for the rest of my working days, either!

I could use some help coding JobMarket.

I believe I could use some help coding JobMarket. Not just because this is my first big project, but also because I don’t know PHP and MySQL that well myself. I want to make it so that both job offers and resumes (on their respective page) are just summaries that lead to the full details. But I have absolutely no clue how to code this. I may be interested enough (if the programmer is Canadian) to offer them a share of Joffee Publishing Inc. and a spot on the company’s board of directors. It would be good to have a partner who had skills where I do not have much right now.

If you are interested in helping me code (and maybe run) JobMarket, please contact me via the contact form.

Next two paychecks aren’t gonna be nice…

My next two paychecks are not looking good, due to the fact that I have so many days off. Oh well, I will have to try and make do. Maybe it is time I start hunting for a new job, as I’m pretty tired of working in the fast-food industry for a total of four years now. I’m hoping to get a job in the computer sector. What would be perfect is Joffee Publishing Inc. and the network taking off and being able to support me. Ah well, life is like this somethimes I guess.

Almost time to go back to work…

Well, it’s almost time to go back to work at McDonalds. Although I’m starting to wonder if I should not find a new job, having worked there for 4 years come July. After all, some jobs can get boring and not very fun if you have worked there for a while.

Rant of the Week for June 27, 2008.

First, I would like to rant about how the weather is lousy for this time of year. Why can’t it be nice and hot and dry, instead of cool and wet? I would blame global warming, except I believe it’s a natural, recurring phenomenon. Look back in history, back to the 1100’s and notice that the weather there was warmer than normal for a period there too. However, the world cooled off, enough that people call it “The Little Ice Age”, so I believe it will happen again!

Next, I would like to rant about spammers. Why post off-topic links to garbage when you know it will just wind up getting you banned from a site? You know that if you send out your garbage via email, your ISP will be notified and you’ll get kicked off, so why try on forums and other public sites? Maybe some people just don’t learn!

Finally, I would like to rant against this summer cold/flu I have. Why does illness have to strike when the weather is finally staying above the freezing mark during the night? It makes no sense to me, unless my lack of sleep is partly to blame! I hate having to stick indoors when it’s so nice outside finally!

Kitten surprise!

Boy, did I get a surprise when I went out to see the kittens in Mom’s greenhouse today. There were three of them originally: Mocha, Muffin, and Sweet-pea. However, when I got out to the greenhouse, there were three new kittens, two all black and one that resembled Mocha, but was darker in color. We have decided to call them Shadow II, Midnight II, and Tigress. If you are wondering why we just didn’t call the black kittens Shadow and Midnight, it is because we already had a Shadow and a Midnight living underneath the greenhouse. But all of the cats that were living underneath the greenhouse have vanished. We think the local coyotes are to blame.
