  • How’s the Pepper going? Great, thanks.

    Thought I’d write some more about my Pepper Pad, especially since more and more people are writing about its competition, the Nokia 770.

    I’ve been using the Pad for quite a few months and am enjoying it for the most part. It’s simply great to surf the web on, period. In a few weeks a ton of software updates are scheduled to be released, bringing us a Linux 2.6 kernel, Keeper 2.1 with the latest FireFox 1.5, and finally some developer libraries. Once I get those devel libraries loaded up, I’ll be compiling SDL and then my favourite SDL-based emulators. The new kernel should be bringing us accelerated graphics and video playback… I can’t wait!

  • Where u been dog?

    I been around. You know. Stuff goin’ on. Many Xmas-related tasks to take care of. I was recently holed up at home for two weeks while some major renovations were done at the office. Let’s just say I’m halfway through Paper Mario after that little sabbatical. And also Paper Mario is a great, GREAT game.

    Sandy’s been working twice as hard as I these past weeks, with two jobs on the go. I was a judge at the First LEGO League Canada Ontario finals, which was some great fun with hundreds of great kids. Watched all our favourite shows go on holiday hiatus, had a great holiday lunch at work, and relaxed as much as possible of course.

    Been following the election news as well. Last night we went to the opening of our local NDP candidate’s campaign office, and got to speak with her and pick up a lawn sign.
