why the heck does my desk shake all the time?

It’d really annoying when your monitor (FD Trinitron or not) shakes from side to side on your desk all the time. Could it be the streetcars going by?

quiet nights and quiet stars

Well, I’m at my second day at work. This morning I wasn’t quite runing around like a madman, so I guess I’m starting to remember the daily morning routing quickly. The other daily routine is also starting to come back: coffee. I need to get some green tea and bring it in to work, before […]

bye, bye, Bell

Well, we got fed up with bell not being able to update the darn DSLAM fast enough, so I called Rogers and they’ll be around on Tuesday, guaranteed. Now that’s some decent service. Of course, this won’t help me much because I’m in Toronto now for the summer. Dial-up for me, yay. Woo-hoo. I’m so […]

the net… what is that thing again?

Well…. we’re finally finished setting up our new apartment. The furniture has been built and moved, the posters have been hung, the bed has been assembled, everything has been cleaned, polished, or put away. Now, if only Bell can get off their sorry asses and get our DSL hooked up properly and send us the […]

much more moving

Operation: Move the Heck Out Already got under way today. Sandy and I moved a lot of boxes with the car today. We made 5 or 6 trips to the new place and unloaded everything into the machine room (at least, it will be the machine room when we’re done with it). It was a […]

rejoice! today is not holy!

To: Jason, who called at around 11:30 EDT tonight from 518-834-7937 From: well, me Subject: meh, no, I won’t give a subject Dear Jason, who decided to call and tell me off: If you don’t like what I write here, don’t read it. Thank you. PS: Reverse lookup is your friend.

three days until the rest of my life

On the way back today Sandy got caught for speeding. She took it pretty well. For a little while while we were waiting for the officer to run through her paperwork, I thought she might not be alright, but she held up. He knocked down the charge so that it didn’t cost her any demerit […]

a well-deserved break.

Wow, it’s been a damn long time since I wrote here! I think I’ll summarize with a list: Went to Toronto last Thursday. Did some shopping, saw Calum for lunch, signed the contract for my summer job, had dinner at home, and then saw The Lion King musical with Sandy. IT was an awesome day. […]

elegantly wasted

Today was a lot of nothing, mostly. Did come coding, mostly on my Newton Batch Package Uploader. Finally started packing for the move. We can’t move until the evening of the 30th, which really sucks. Tomorrow is Toronto and the Lion King and I can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait. INXS was so good. Why […]

straight from the top of my dome

Exam today was good. Overall, it was pretty easy, but the first third was stuff from earlier in the semester that I didn’t do well on in the midterm, but the rest was great. No worries. Good? news came this evening, apparently now Maptuit can take me on for the summer. Good, because I get […]
