Snowing again in Montreal
I used to love it when snowflakes fell. They are so fluffy and dry, it just feels like instant fun. Not anymore. I am sick and tired of slipping and sliding all over the roads that are now covered in slush ice. I'm sick and tired of shovelling snow and brushing snow off my car. It is such a pain! I do this everytime it snows! The last time it took me and a friend 40 minutes of heavy shovelling to get my car unstuck. Parking was impossible, since the sidewalks were basically chock full of snow. Ahhhh, I'd rather just ski over it than bother with the rest of the problems.
BLOGS. It seems that blogs have taken over the Internet, with the masses all wanting to write what's on their minds. Check out this page http://8w.blogspot.com. This is my friend Adrian from church who has a pretty popular blog site. This is probably the first rapper I know personally - he actually is pretty good and you can download a sample track of him from mp3.com.

Change of plans...
Well, turns out that my website went down for a week or so because my previous webhost shut down for no reason. Just shows, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
So there goes that - time spent uploading to that site now redone again as I rebuild this multiple-spanning website that goes across probably 4 webhosts. So we are further burdened with ads again I suppose...
Which brings me to another wierd point - it seems that I am having terrible luck trying to publish my website on the Internet. Even my redirection service which I had previously used (jasper.ne1.net) got hacked. It has since been down for 3 days. What rotten luck - first my webhost shut down, then my redirection service died on me.
In any case, you can use jasper.ne1.net (if it ever comes up again), jasper.filetap.com, back.to/jasper or www.bigfoot.com/~jchik. Any of them should be able to redirect properly.

New photos uploaded of the Grand Canyon, Laughlin and Las Vegas and Toronto
Check it out under the "Recent Additions" toolbar above, or scroll through the "Photos" menu to find it. Took a while, but it has been busy times lately with yet another move to a different country... Yes, I have left good 'ol Santa Barbara for the frigid north of Montreal. Anyway, I hope to post up more pics of my adventures this time on the east coast!

Welcome to the my new webpage for 2003!
It's been a long time coming, but finally I have re-designed this entire website with newer html code, cleaner pages, and NO ADS! Some kind soul has given me a free website account that does not have any ads... So, it will be much better than times of past.
The best thing about this host is that it includes so many technologies in its webserver - cgi, perl, php, ssi, mysql databases, etc... I intend to make full use of these technologies as I learn to make these pages more dynamic and user interactive.
In the meantime, check out the new guestbook! All ASP driven with a database - custom built (borrowed source code though) and this time the comments will stick better than the old site which periodically wiped out stuff...
