I’m very proud of myself. Yesturday, in the space of about an hour, I managed to assemble a reasonably working computer from parts I had lying around. Actually, I’m not sure if I should be ashamed of my packratishness or not 🙂 It is sans-case, but thanks to the donation of a 250w power supply […]

It was awsome 🙂 I met up with Yohimbe around 4, chatted a bit and listened to some stuff he’d done in his fancy new studio, and then after a chick chow-down of sushi, headed out to the new west skytrain station to go downtown by transit (so much easier that way). Cut to the

I always knew I had a fan (Warning: not safe for work!)

Welcome to a new experiment in my journal. I’ve decided to try doing this whole thing with a new content management system, instead of by hand as I’ve been doing for the last few (many) years. If it works nicely, I might continue, if not, I’ll go back to the way things were before, but
