For those of you who don’t know, Joshua William Kligerman arrived at 4:27am on February 13, 2007, weighing in at 6lb and 4oz, at Mount Sinai hospital in Toronto. Delivery was long and difficult (long and difficult for mom and baby, just long for me), but ultimately a truly unique and wonderful experience.
Joshua is now [...]

24 & Work-Life Balance
Posted in Media, Work on January 7, 2007 | 1 Comment »
A friend loaned me his DVDs of the TV series “24″, which I had never previously watched. I started with seasion one, and I must say it is quite an entertaining series. I am now about half-way through season two, and am firmly hooked. Season six is starting in a matter of days, which I [...]
Winter

It seems like so long ago now, looking back to the long, lazy summer. Reading my frequent entries during those hot months, it brings back memories of all the time I had, and all the time I spent studying. The time since then has been nothing but chalk full; since moving to my new position [...]
Awards Dinner
Posted in Work on October 8, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Two of my team won “pace setter” awards this year, which are handed out to people who have done a significantly good job at demonstrating our employer’s key values. Last night a dinner was held in honour of the Toronto-based award winners, and I attended as a guest. The venue was the extravagent Royal York [...]
Change Window

One of the customers whose network I manage had a change scheduled for midnight last night. The change involved moving a pair of firewalls from one location to our data centre, and then reconfiguring the rest of their network to make everything work again. I knew in advance it was going to be a difficult [...]
Job Interview

On Friday I had a job interview; my first since I originally started my current job back in 1995, which has morphed its way through three companies, each having acquired the last. The interview was for a position within my current organization, but in contrast to the roles I’ve held in the past, this was [...]
Working Weekend

Work has been much busier than usual lately, and especially this weekend. There were several maintenance windows planned, which required more effort due to problems than expected. As a result, I haven’t slept much. On the positive side, all the problems that came up are under control, although there is some work left to do.

Bowling

On Saturday night we went out for one of our friend’s birthday, and after dinner went bowling. I haven’t been bowling in years, and it was lots of fun. Amazing how bowling alleys don’t seem to have changed or updated their decors at all since the 80’s.
We have decided that our moving day will be [...]
Editing

I’m trying to finish editing the few last chapters of a book I’ve been contributing to as an author and technical editor. It’s boring stuff–about Check Point firewalls–but I’m almost done; just two more chapters out of 12 to go.
Picked up the last few gifts waiting for us at The Bay today. I used a [...]
