An Adieu to a Friend
The name by which he goes is KD. Young man, Asian (really hates it when i tell him that as i shake my head from side to side like they do in the movies), and a very jolly fellow. I 'd bet u 100 to 1 that u cudn't manage a grumpy mood for 10 minutes while with him.
Yesterday he boarded a plane, and left the country ... for what one could say for good.
I met KD sometime mid last year. There is this place near our campus (its a center) where young men and young professionals go for spiritual direction and engagement in various activities such as sports, watchin movies, etc, etc.
KD, being the jolly fellow he is, got me out of a certain phase in which I would be quite grumpy. Back then, it wasn't much fun to be around me. So, with nothing to lose, we decided to take on an attitude to cheerfulness - something that you get to catch on pretty quick at the center. In the succeeding weeks, comments such as "Have you been smoking weed?" started popping up. From thence henceforth, that became our joke, with the consequent eruption of the phrase "Weed works!" (Take not, I dont take weed.)
'Weedy jokes' ensued, such as "I got a stronger variety of weed", "My weed supply has been low recently", and the best of all when the joking got quite far "You've been smokin too much weed".
I must say I enjoy being around myself much more.
Couldn't find a better way to say goodbye, but as the French have coined adieu - I commend you)to God.
I wish u all the best, KD,
... n dont quit on the weed.

Destination Linux
In the inspiration of Rombe (commonly heard of as Lazlo), we should also set forth on journey to discover the unknown worlds that exist outside that of Microsoft, I speak of the land of Linux. Crew: students of Strathmore with a fettish for adventure.
Do they know yet: not quite
Will the know: in the fullness of time, they will.
This journey seemingly has more hitches than that set forth for the exploration of .NET, a happening that i find rather surprising.
All in all, any tips n tales - versions, stuff like VMWare, bring em on would be gratefully accepted as would warnings and well wishes. Hopefully at the end of this, we can join a linux group or something of that likening.
N forth we go ... as soon as we get the remaining nitty gritties sorted.

Destination .NET
So there's this really crazy idea that i have been nurturing for a while now - coarsing Strathmore University students to move towards the current technology of .NET.
I must say that either Lady Luck has a serious crash on me, or my guardian angel is really working overtime. I'v been getting all the support i'v dared to ask for - external trainers (though still just about to clear up some finalities), computer labs, the necessary softwares (though i hear the one the university has may have a certain hitch).
There's still one major ... crucial component that i must sort out - the students. I'll release the story to the club members (the club is call SUITSA - Strathmore University IT Students Association) this Monday. If all goes well, the lessons should start the following Monday.
Nyway, cross your fingers, n this year may end up being more surpring that we may expect.
Cheeers you all!!!
