First off, it’s election time in Canada. We have the Conservatives, the Bloc, the Liberals, the NDP and the Green fighting against each other. I never was much into politics, to be honest. I subscribe to the school of people who think every politician is a corrupted one waiting to happen. They promise without delivering, and most of their campaign is based on derogating their opponents and making promises which everyone knows they won’t hold. That being said, a nice site was launched this week, called I Believe In Open. It aims to be some kind of petition (without being one) for better government transparency. It allows voters (me) and parties/candidates to pledge for transparency and openness. So far no parties have pledged though, I’m thinking the first who does will get my vote. Alright, enough politics.

This next week will be exciting! The hockey season is starting, and I managed to get tickets for Friday’s pre-season game in Montreal, which should be AMAZING. I’ll be going with friends from work and the ambience will be insane.

I played with my iPhone a bit today, after having to implement a dual boot on my system (grumbles) because Apple doesn’t support iPhone synchronization on Linux… I found a few good places for iPhone wallpapers, the best one being this Flickr group.

Aside from that, what’s new? Nothing much. Been working quite a lot lately, trying to make my deadlines and side-line contracts at the same time. At least, work’s fun! Hacking up Magento is a challenge, and it’s entertaining. I can’t say the same for the few OsCommerce emergencies that come up every so often…

Heroes season 3 is starting tomorrow! Yay! Everyone has been waiting so long for this, it should be entertaining. I’ll miss the premiere though, as I’ll be playing cosom hockey with NVI’s team… but I’ll definitely check it out Tuesday. We’ll be facing Universal Media… which is already pretty ironic on its own.

So that’s my week in perspective. Eventful and busy. Should be fun!
