Lastly, my work.

So, things have not been that great. The company I'm currently working for doesn't have much work and I was supposed to finish my contract at the end of this month. Due to some backlog I've been extended a month. So that helps.

At the same time I have been contacted by several agencies and I currently have two strong possibilities for a new job so we'll see how that goes.

[N_LaRUE]

To explain why I haven't been posting is simple. I just had too much to do and this was too distracting. I was a bit addicted so needed the break.

That's why this is a quick drop in and out.

I'll reply to any questions etc but I'll likely not post until I get a new job and then that will be it for a while.

And just because I know you like pics.

And...

Good to hear from you. Best of luck on your new software venture.

In more positive news.

My wife had been accepted for a PhD which she will be starting soon.

She got accepted into a Finnish University, which is a dream come true for her.

This is also good because we don't need to pay for it.

Congratulations! I wish her the best for the program.

In other positive news my wife is designing an online course which she hopes to complete soon as well.

Along with that we are also in the process of getting a SaaS developed. SaaS is Software as a Service. This will likely be launched in about four months.

It's fully funded by us. It probably won't make us ridiculous rich but will hopefully provide a stable income.

That's so cool, I also wish y'all the best with the launch and success.

I'm thankful to hear from you and I get it. I really hope that the new job and the launch work out well.

Finally received my order from Walmart after a 10 day delay. Since I was using free shipping and Walmart Plus, I intentionally order a bunch of can goods to see how they would ship. Found they use boxes that could not handle the weight. It came torn up with missing and damaged cans. It was dumped at my front door by FedEx.

Did a bit of gardening in the backyard.. It got a slightly out of control.


This is loofa (or luffa).. it has grown to 20inches... Probably still a bit to go yet..

This is the man who got spammed by job offers on LinkedIn, I'm sure you'll do more than fine. Good luck man!

It's been a while since it got silent here unfortunately. Different reasons for everyone I guess.

Me personally, it's just that I had the busiest semester of my life and barely managed my time.

[me just saying]

Sitting here in the recliner listening to the sounds of spring coming from my neighbor, lawnmowers, weed eaters, and blowers.. Just the middle of march too. Guess I got to start this weekend. The weeds in the yard is outgrowing grass ten times faster.

My free time has become nearly nonexistent for the last few months. Owners want buildings erected in record times to avoid interest payments before converting construction loans to permanent. Rush, rush, rush and make me rich, I don't care if you live or die.

Just came back from a trip to the cooler climes of the mountains (Kundasang) to get away from the tropical heat. With the easing of Inter-District travels, its good to be able to move around a bit.

We stayed at a B&B, its very quiet. Covid has an enormous impact on the tourism, both international as well as local. People just cant/won't travel yet. We know the operator of the place, so it was good.


At its most busy, there would be several hundred climbers daily on Mount Kinabalu. Since the national park was reopen, it barely has 20-30 pax. Man, I wish I could do a climb, the last time I did it was back in 2011... My legs and knees are gone!!
We did a brief walk on the park grounds, very quiet. Its like having the huge place to ourselves. We had lunch at the only operating restaurant in the park.


A deserted place, pity.

Well I hope you're getting paid better for your extra efforts.

Work frustrations are just a few more steps away from me too. Can't say I'm looking forward to it.
