I’m now on page 20 of Rice Tea. That’s pretty much 12 pages a week, though as time goes on the pace might start to slow down. I’d very much like to be able to talk to an RCMP officer that works in the computer crimes unit to get a bit more insight into their activities. Make this book more realistic.
Anywho, you can get the latest update here:

So the issue of the post-university question mark has perhaps been resolved, in the form of an aereal surveying company.
With the news of a possible job there, I’ve taken a few drastic changes in my life. For one, I’m moving out of my current place – where I live with two roommates – into a bachelors. I’ve given my roommates a month’s notice, and needless to say, they really aren’t pleased. I’ve also offered to pay an extra month’s worth of rent if they didn’t find a replacement, which I believe to be fair.
This being said, I haven’t even secured the bachelors yet. I gotta get a move on that. As do I to secure a long-term job, aereal company or not.
Flying blind boys, flying blind.
In keeping with my promise, I’m be releasing an update to the book. Just as I’ll do each and every Friday from here until completion.
I’ve also created a site where you can grab both the current and earlier edits. See what’s changed in the space of a week, or go back in time to revisit certain segments before they were re-edited.
You can check out the new revisions-tracking site here:

…and as usual, you can always download the latest revision here:

First off, H4CK3R5 has a new name: Rice Tea. It avoids any kind of potential cease and desist letters I might get from a not-too-happy MGM.
Now last time I talked, I said that I had completed the second revision of the initial draft. In the time since, I’ve tweaked it to my liking. Enough for me to get into writing the true brunt of the project.
To that extent, I present to you my new plan: each week, I will release on my blog the latest iteration of this project. Every Friday night from now until completion. You’ll then be able to download the book to that point and share your thoughts.
That said, do keep in mind that I will likely edit older chapters as I go on, for the sake of making sense. Near the end, major revisions may even be made to earlier segments of the book.
