Info board status
Well Sandy loved my infoboard idea, so I’m slowly moving ahead with it. I’ve been trying hard to get 802.11b drivers running on RedHat 6.2, but it’s just not flying. I’m going to have to try and upgrade the little laptop to RedHat 8.0 so I get a 2.4 kernel, and then things should be […]
still blogging sculpture garden
Oh crap. It’s a sandbox. What a stupid thing to put in the middle of downtown Toronto… doesn’t everyone know that sandboxes are filled with pet crap and, well, just dirty in general? For those who don’t know, right across the path from the garden is the patio of an expensive French restaurant. I’m sure […]
sculpture garden construction day 3

The urge to be a geek
You might remember a long time ago I started to make a digital picture frame out of an old laptop I had. It was basicially finished except for the external stand or hanging hardware. However since I’ve worked on it we’ve moved twice and the hardware is still sitting in a box in the closet. […]

I wonder what’s going into the sculpture garden?
It’s going to be pretty big, that’s for sure… Toronto Sculpture Garden
Dear FedEx: I love you.
So what’s been going on around the house lately? The garage door opener stopped working. Well, to be more specific, the safety sensors that detect something obstructing the door stopped working. This may have had something to do with the combination of: They weren’t installed correctly in the first place: they are mounted on the […]
OMG I finally found this again!
A looooong time ago I was browsing the IMDB randomly and came across an entry for a director – except it wasn’t a director, but rather a pseudonym that was used when a film had been hacked by the producer/studio/whoever so badly that the director refused to be credited for the final product. However, I […]
by the numbers
Number of couriers I helped at the office today: 2 Number of drivers who almost nailed me in the GO parking lot: 1 Number of flyers for real estate brokers in the mail today: 5 Number of postcards from my sister: 1 (yay!)
