“Just a Game”

I noticed that Silverstr woke up feeling great and I thought of something I heard on the radio this morning. In fact, lack of sleep aside, I did as well. The waking crew announcer on the radio this morning said that he’s been told more than once (while swearing at the TV) that it is […]

Canadian Morning Tradition

Last night I got some work done on the code project I’m currently trying to get out of the way. No mod_perl, no embedded perl, just straight CGI (and php, but I don’t want to start re-learning a new technology when the project is due on monday). I forgot how horrible it was. sigh. Guess

Go Canucks!

While watching the concert last night my only contact with the Canucks’ game 7 over the Blues was Silverstr occasionally jumping on the Internet through his phone and checking the score, then passing it down the row of the four of us. 4-1 final. Awsome. Great political cartoon in The Province of a guy in

Arrogant Worms Concert

Last night I went to see The Arrogant Worms in concert. Unfortunately, two of the people who were slated to go with us (Silverstr and SilverstrWife) had to bail (with good reasons). In a fight to find a way to get rid of the the two extra tickets we grabbed Yohimbe (of userfriendly fame) and

Meet with NewBoss

Had a meeting with NewBoss today (or would that be $newjob->boss ?) to check out the new workplace, get an official offer of work, see what they are doing, etc. Went well, I’m discovering that Mac people (real Mac people, not newbies like me) have the similar persuasion to covering their walls with Apple posters.

Linux Kernel Performance

I have been using the 2.4.20 kernel with the CK set of patches with my gentoo install for a while, and they were ok, but every once and a while I’d come to the computer in the morning and find it sitting at a login screen, and I assumed tthat it was something futzing up

Canucks in 7! Canucks in 7!

Go Canucks! They slaughtered (well, mostly… well… they won!) the Blues 4-3 today to tie the series up at three each. Heading to easter dinner they were up 2-1, then 3-1, then 4-1… choked a bit in the third, but a win is a win! Looks like bear‘s predictions of the Canucks taking it in
