Much hasn’t progressed lately in terms of my websites, but traffic has been slowly increasing on my father’s company websites. I predict by next year, things should be looking up for the e-commerce site.
The Holiday site is still status quo, but work should pick up sometime next week when my site partner is no longer busy.
I got accepted into Concordia’s Computer Science program. Quite a surprise, ain’t it? It’s going to take me 3 years to finish up the program (90 credits) and I’ll have a Bachelors in Comp Sci. I just have to do one prerequisite (Math 204) and this time, I’ll pay attention and do the work. No more screwing around in class! Anyway, I look forward to this fresh start… but I really do want to get this whole school debacle over and done with. I rather concentrate on other things!
I got a white board for the office today and it’s going to be a great addition to planning projects out with my dad. I should get one for home too and do some brainstorming on it. On the topic of projects, there’s quite a few things planned out for the next month or two. I got to optimize our programs to work over the web, and I will implement SQL to do so. Without going into too many technical details, I think it’s going to make things run a lot smoother. Our clients will be quite happy.
Another project my dad and I have to start is RFID for jewellery and clothing. If we implement this feature in our point of sale application, it will attract a lot of new clientèle and make our existing clients want this type of technology right away. Still a bit more planning to do though before we roll it out to the public.
So the pieces are starting to fall into place, and I feel like a new man today. I couldn’t imagine I would be in this spot one year ago, let alone two. A lot has changed throughout this period and I think it is all for the better. I made new friends all over, mended my ways with the forgotten ones and bonded my current friendships to strong new levels. I am finally at peace with my brother; he’s a great person to hang around with and I can’t wait to see where two of us will go in the future.
I’m also a bit disappointed with a few things… most notably my school. But I think that will soon change for the better next semester… that is, if my program change request is successful.
I just got a call from one of my good friends today and he has decided he wants to join in the “blogging revolution” to make some money. So that’s 3 people in the boat to teach on how to get started with websites (2 best friends + brother). I look forward to this venture.
My strength gains at the gym are starting to surface, and this is making me very happy. It took me exactly four weeks to get back to my original strength since I had left the gym more than a year ago. This Max-OT program really does kick ass and I encourage everyone to try it if they want some strength gains. Of course, proper dieting and discipline plays a major role when it comes to working out.
I need to start implement some squats in my routine now. I look forward to tomorrow’s leg routine.
