A bit of funny about my work
It’s funny to think that I was hired on April 1 for my current job. I keep seeing “congrats on X” anniversary emails go out, and I can only imagine what my 1 year anniversary email will look like.

Book review: By Schism Rent Asunder
A good critic of any book always includes “I couldn’t put the book down” and this was definitely one of those books. Although from pre-reviews of the book, I got the impression that like book 1, we were to see some kind of reference to the days before Safehold, it turns out that no such [...]

Book Review: Iron Kissed
Strong female lead. Felt a little unhurried and cavalier through most of the story and then wrapped up with an intense, almost hurried, climactic scene. Thankfully the author handled the topic as sensitively as possible and with the judicious use of deus ex machina explanations we get to the end of the book with our sense [...]
Migrating Wordpress databases
Since I’m migrating content from one wordpress blog to another for the purposes of playing with the wordpress themes (trying to create a theme that I like), I learned a bit about the database along the way. Like the fact that there are values within the database that point to the database table prefix used [...]
