Updates

I thought I would make a post to update you on what's been happening recently with my blogs, job and hobbies. I had not posted anything on any of my blogs for about a week as I have been pretty busy and the last 2 week-ends (where I usually prepare most of my content for the next week) have been too crazy for me to put the time I should have put into the blogs.

Blogs: Well "The Frenchie's Pit" has been unlocked in a timely fashion and I want to thank blogspot for that. I have posted my endorsement of John McCain and I am working on two rather long and detailed posts about Canadian politics. Traffic has been higher than expected for such a young blog so I am trying to make it my first priority. For my personal blog (the one you are reading right now), I might rant about the American society and some of the things that make me really angry about people in North America, but I'm not sure how it would be perceived yet. I'll also put up a couple of posts regarding more personal stuff either later today or tommorow.

Poker: The last weeks have been rather calm, I have not played any poker in over a week. I am sitting on about 250$ in my bankroll on UltimateBet and might wait until I can deposit a bit on top of that before playing again, the reason being I hate playing microstakes, they are so random and people with big bankrolls who still play microstakes will sometimes play very loose on them, making it a crapshot many times, even with winning hands. Variance on the micros shouldn't hit as hard as on higher stakes but I still feel more comfortable playing the 10/25NL tables. So that's that...

Gaming: Well a couple of things happened with my gaming, I have reformed team Flawless Execution with some oldschool friends of mine. Team fe used to be a powerhouse in North America back in 2002, we remade the team a couple of times without as much success as we would've wanted to but there is only us to blame. This time we have not set any specific goals, we just wish to have some fun and play with old friends we feel comfortable with. For those of you who use IRC, our channel is #fe-team on irc.gamesurge.net

I also opened my own club for friends and fans, it is also located on IRC, #fcnz on irc.gamesurge.net so join it up if you are a IRC user and I will give you access!

On another note, I've been thinking about writing a long post about the CGS, CS 1.6 vs Source and my feelings on the whole debate but I have a hard time making a logical train of thought on the topic. There are so many things that come into play and I feel like I would need a whole book to cover the subject completely. (If you're an editor and wish to fund me to write a book, then it's another story!)

Work: Nothing much really, the usual routine, I have been working on an online consultancy business I have been wanting to set up but I have come short on time recently and decided to put that on hold for now. If either my trading or poker goes well, I should be able to resume work on that within about a six month-one year period.
