Interesting article on Bluetooth 3.0, I haven’t really been following it – however, it seems as though somehow Bluetooth 3.0 are going to be creating temporary (hopefully secure) wireless networks for transmitting data.

Bluetooth 3.0 prepped for launch on April 21 – Ars Technica.

I’m curious though, how do they intend on dealing with frequency crossover from actual wifi networks.  In my experience, bluetooth networks are horribly prone to interferance and hopefully that doesn’t translate to the new specification.

Found this article in the Hamilton Spectator yesterday, glad to see the project I’ve been helping to propose has finally gotten the go ahead and even got some press.  So, now its go time for CFL Media, and the next few months are going to be rough as we work towards re-launching all the CFL / Team websites under one banner – similar to how the NFL or NHL handle their sites.

I’m fairly excited to be at the center of this project from a technological standpoint.  We have a lot of great ideas, that will probably end up as written guides on my blog – for instance we are currently evaluating Varnish HTTP accelerators to help deal with the huge spikes in load we tend to have, being an event driven business.

Anyway, thats all for now – read the spec article here:

Life is super insane right now – between work, wedding planning, building a house and trying to get some form of sleep, I barely have time for anything these days… I will try and make more time though if thats even possible.

Well, a bit delayed, but a happy new year to everyone out there who may find my blog.  Speaking of my blog – I have a few plans for updating it significantly over the next few months – I’ll be keeping the URL structure the same, but overhauling the layout and functionality to better suit my needs.

So, santa was good to be this year – got a lot of clothes and other fun stuff, bought myself a GPS from Best Buy on Boxing day – btw, if anyone ever decides it may be a good idea to go to any store on boxing day, its NOT.  I literally spent 2 hours in Best Buy – 1.5 of them waiting in line to pay for my item.

Anyway, so far, happy with it, I ended up with the Garmin 250W, I haven’t updated the maps yet – perhaps I’ll do that today, but thus far it hasn’t failed me.
