Dear SpawnPoint

2007-07-21

Dear SpawnPoint Community,

What additional features and optimizations would you like to see to the SpawnPoint blogs section in the near future?

Is there functionality that is missing, that is holding you back from posting more often?

Love,

Tony

Good Weekend

2007-07-09

Liz and I spent some quality time this weekend. I was able to get out of the house and head up to Gold Creek in British Columbia. This is just inside the Golden Ears Park area, and bit more secluded area than Alouette Lake.

Few photos for you:

House Sitting

2007-07-09

This week I am out in Maple Ridge, BC - house sitting, and taking advantage of the amenities of my parents family home. Working on the internet definitely does have some perks, one being that I can basically work from anywhere.

In order for me to do business at "maximum performance", I usually only require a couple things - since I am out here for 7 days, I brought the following:

My Laptop - Dell Inspiron 9400
Portfolio with all active project, notes, contacts and backups
Vonage - My connection has both numbers for Vancouver, BC and Orlando, FL (PHXX main office is just outside of Orlando in Longwood, FL)
iPod - My music library is hosted on my server at home, since of the disc limitations on my laptop. The iPod allows me to take my entire library with me on the go.
This week I am reading CheckPoint NGX - VPN-1 by Syngress. I am currently studying for a CheckPoint engineering certification.
Also on hand, Foosh, Cell Phone, and various other accessories.

The best part about staying out here, is that I get to take advantage of my parents hot tub, gym, and decked out backyard. w00t.
