Computer Back To Normal

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Arcterex

So it was the power supply, and I didn’t have to resort to spending a ton of money (well, yet anyway).  After installing the new power supply, and finding the solution to my next problem (the system running super-slow with 4 1G sticks of RAM) – installing a BIOS update, everything is back to normal …

Apparently I’m Allergic To Grass Pollen

Posted on September 25, 2010 by Arcterex

Or grass seed or something like that.  I’ve had bad allergies in the spring for the last 5 years or so,the kind where if on the wrong day I leave the car window open between home and the train station I end up sniffing and sneezing for the next couple of hours.  Not fun at …

No, not my puppy, my mother in laws which was brought over for a couple of beauty shots last weekend.  Enjoy the shots of “Tux”.

Random Quote Regarding The iPhone OS4 Preview

Posted on April 9, 2010 by Arcterex

Best quote ever from my buddy regarding all the new goodies in the iPhone OS 4.0 preview: Bryan: My god it just gets better and better, somewhere Walt Mossberg is choking himself with an apple mouse cord while listening to this to heighten his experience. Probably not funny to anyone outside the geek circle, but …

Olympic Torch Passing By

Posted on February 12, 2010 by Arcterex

Olympic fever has hit the city! This morning the torch passed through downtown Vancouver and with a little luck and timing, I managed to get a spot right close to where the torch hand off was made. More images are up on the set on flickr.

Another Sighting

Posted on May 21, 2009 by Arcterex

Thanks to Meege at my previous work for passing this on. Turns out the famous picture of mine has once again been used illegally, and with malice! 🙂 This time it’s over on a video on youtube, which you can see it here. I grabbed a couple of screen caps of it for posterity (he …

Snow? Now?!?!?!

Posted on February 25, 2009 by Arcterex

Seriously, this is nuts. Andrea calls me this afternoon at work and says there are “6 inches of snow at home”. I of course call bullshit as there’s nothing bug a light rain at work in Vancouver. Even halfway home on the train I was thinking that the snow was still no more than an …

Sun and Trees

Posted on February 15, 2009 by Arcterex

Went out to Maple Ridge for some stuff today, ended up taking a minor detour up near my old stomping grounds and took some pictures. This one I didn’t mind that much. Horrible lighting conditions (shooting into the sun), but it worked out ok. I bumped up the colors and the midtones a bit, gave …

Kitten and Rex Friends

Posted on April 7, 2008 by Arcterex

Well, maybe not friends, but tonight Rex was sleeping in “the circle thing” (the round red cat bed) and the kitten snuck up and made her way in…. slowly on the edge, then inside, then touching and then sleeping. Granted this was on the other side, but it was very nice to see the two …
