Nopy's Blog

Some of you may have noticed a lack of posts on my blog recently. The main reasons for my inactivity are because of job interviews and looking for a place to rent. Two weeks ago I had several job interviews lined up and I managed to land a position (yay!). Although I’m still in university, I need to have 20 months (5 terms) of work experience to get my degree, and I just have 4 more months (1 term) left. The thing about this job though is that it’s about 780km away in a city of about 200k people. So for the past week I’ve been phoning up apartment complexes trying to find a vacant suite (with little luck).

Hello everyone, and welcome to my new domain at nopybot.com (yep, Nopy has left wordpress.com and has his own domain now).

For those of you who went to nopybot.wordpress.com and ended up here, that means you were safely redirected to my blog’s new home. If you have bookmarks or links pointing to my old address, I suggest you update them because you won’t be redirected here forever.

Currently checking to make sure everything was transferred over. It looks like there’s a few kinks to work out, but I should have those sorted out in a few days.

Shion and Mion wishes everyone a happy halloween!

I will be looking forward to the after-halloween candy sales starting tomorrow ^.^

Today is October 13, 2008 and that means that it’s Thanksgiving Day in Canada. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and I hope everyone has a Thanksgiving dinner that at least looks better than Marisa’s broth. I thought this pic was appropriate for today’s post since there is food (I’m sure some people eat octopus and fish together) and there’s a jack-o-lantern (since halloween is just around the corner).

Note: I dunno who made this pic, but Marisa is from the Touhou games.

It’s almost midnight on a thursday, and I think I finally appreciate how much screen and desk space I have. In the 2 weeks I have 2 reports, 2 assignments, and 65 sketches due, as well as 2 midterms and a speech I need to do. Right now I’m working on one of the reports and things are going to much faster than last year. The main reason is because now I have a 24″ monitor in addition to my 19″ and I also have a laptop now. Having my report on 1 monitor, reference material on the other, and notes on my laptop makes looking up information and writing my report at the same time so much easier. Having such a large desk also helps as I can also check some printed notes or books ^.^

So if any of you find schoolwork or work to be too time comsuming, I suggest getting another monitor and a larger desk. So much work gets done much faster (unless you have anime playing on one of the monitors).
