Little steps ...

Today is an ugly day, weather wise... It's raining, we had freezing rain, it's just plain ugly. This house managed to make me love her a bit more by deciding to leak this morning.

Sigh.

On a great note, Sabrina said "caca" to me this morning, and proceeded to do the deed. It's an indication that she's understanding the process, the first step into becoming clean. She also realized that she can lick the apple sauce off her toast, but I'm sure that's only a passing thing.

Max was sick yesterday. He stayed at Paula's place. I heard him play the guitar the night before and he's pretty good.

Furthermore I've managed to retrieve the aprids.ca web site. It was a long process, maybe because of the holidays, but it was finally done. We're good for one year now.

That's it for now. I'm back to work I got loads to do.

Today it's like this

A good week as passed by. I've left the engine alone to do some work for hxxxxx with respect to the SCORM courses that were created. My interests are twofolds: I need the technology to work and so do they. While I don't believe they should put all their eggs in one basket (the online training market), they seem to be doing so. I don't see how a company can grow and build on that alone. I have my own idea on what they should do with these courses but I don't think they will listen to me.

On the APRIDS front I've been doing everything I can to retrieve the aprids web site but the company Canaca is less then cooperative. I don't understand, I've had stellar service from them before. I will try again. Meanwhile I have a meeting on Saturday I'd like this to be ready by then.

I have a project online which may start soon: formybirthday.idliketohave.com -- a gift registry for people to help others determine what they want for their birthday. All I need now is to check the texts, to add one more features and to add more directed advertising and it's done. Hopefully it should bring me a few $100s a month. I also have to make the emails more solid.

Our family is doing well. Suzanne is back at work and finds it daunting. I would prefer her to stay at home with Sabrina and I go to work. Well, I intend to work from home. At least that's the plan.

There's probably no one reading these right now, and it's ok. Maybe later.

We've had a few good weeks

The holidays were quite nice. With Suzanne home, Sabrina spent most of her time with her. We got to see family and friends, and mostly we got to relax. Sabrina is talking more and more, and she has put two words together for the first time on January 1st: "Come Maman." It was a command, of course. Now she points and says "Come" when she wants to go somewhere.

It went too quickly though. Suzanne went back to work. The beginning was a little tough on Sabrina she has been very clingy lately. And her sleeping habits are not getting better she still wakes up one or two times during the night. The difference now is that I go comfort her, then put her back to sleep. This way Sue gets to sleep and feels better when she goes to work.

My work is going well. The engine is starting to produce results (I see a page). I have to turn my attention towards the engine's traveling functions, the database connection and the login / security system before I continue with the page generator. These functions are very important and will take some time to implement, but once they are done the basic generator should be fast to build.

I'm also very close to releasing Valida out there, and it should start to generate some money through adsense. It's my goal to have it going before the end of January.
