R.I.P. Model M
I just retired my IBM Modem M keyboard. I rescued it myself from my old high school, and popped off every keycap and cleaned them individually with a toothbrush. Unfortunately, someone who I live with obtained for me this Logitech Cordless Freedom keyboard/mouse set for Christmas. I like my old Model M’s noise, but I […]

Semester’s over. I’m on vacation. That is all. See you December 28th.
NB: DO NOT EAT
Damn, it’s been a while. Things I hate right now: Canada Post. After mailing at least a hundred UNNA CD sets in the same padded mailing envelopes using lettermail postage, this week they decide to return my latest two mailings because they do not conform to lettermail specifications. They’re actually “oversized lettermail”, meaning I get […]
technology is great.
This morning I downloaded today’s Buffy episode, 10 hours before it will be broadcast. Yum.

…is the sound of the new washer/dryer. It’s a good sound. Except that our stove isn’t hooked up yet. But it should be today. When your landlord goes out and randomly buys a new laundry centre for your unit, you know they’re good. This is entry #400. Cool. We’re just under 15 000 hits on […]

Dream: myself, Sandy, random characters from that damn movie, in some kind of WWII espionage plot. Weird. Fujitsu hard drives are all cursed. That is my final conclusion. All of them. Utter garbage. Do not buy a Fujitsu hard drive, ever. I think I’m going to start a new policy of “no Fujitsus.” If your […]
wow, that’s bitter.
Mr. J. Brad Hicks’s resume gives some pretty compelling reasons for not going into LAN/WAN/IT administration. Wow. Ouch.
I knew that ZNAP had a use after all…
A while ago, I bought a ZNAP set for $19, just to get another Technic motor and the cool flexible shafts. Now I’ve finally found a use for the actual pieces.

So the other day I called Fido, my cell phone service provider, to cancel my service since I really haven’t been using it enough in the past few months to justify the cash. As usual, when you want to cancel any service with anyone, they’ll want to know why you want to do so. So […]
i need you here with me, not way over in a bucket seat
Yesterday was Rememberance Day. Sandy and I went to visit my parents at their cottage for the day, which was really really nice. A nice way to end a very busy week. Three days before Rememberance Day, I had a sudden urge and registered flandersfields.ca. I’ve put up a very simple page there for now […]
