why?

If I’m using one of the Ministry of Ontario’s Self Serve Kiosks and not making use of expensive, human labour by going to one of their centres, why am I charged a “convenience fee”? Isn’t it reasonable to assume that because I’m entering all the data, and not some unionized person on the other side […]

glowsticks!!!

It would seem that someone set up a little place to poke around while I wasn’t looking. It’s been there for a while – I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed it before. Welcome to the pintday party line, and be sure to beat the sysadmin regularly. Oh, and I have a stored rant from that […]

day of the tiger?

Tiger Woods is back. No matter if he ultimately loses the Masters, he is putting on a jaw-dropping performance. He had a terrible first round, and could have packed it in then. He didn’t, and is destroying the course right now. He birdied the last three holes yesterday, and the first four holes played today. […]

gallery2

Following Coop’s lead, I installed the beta of Gallery 2, the next major release of the photo album software most people on deadsquid.com use, for my pics this eve. It’s much prettier, but there’s a number of things I’m not crazy about, most notably the drop down action bars for regular users. I’m sure there’s […]

a ridiculous amount of time later

Today was supposed to be packing day for the move to the new digs on Thursday. It didn’t happen, and I hate being sick. Ah well, these things happen, so the day was used for the forces of good battling the forces of evil. To assist me with that, I finally finished Halo 2 (I […]

there goes the one good round of the season

Bobo, coop, and I played our first round of the spring today (at least, I think it was bobo and coop’s first round). I didn’t suck, which surprised me. Four birdies on the day, and managing to hold par or better from the 11th through 18th hole made me a pretty happy guy. If it […]

which lossless codec, and why?

I’m about to re-rip my entire CD collection for the fourth time. I don’t want to do it again, so have decided to invest in a small(ish) array and use a lossless codec to create a reference set of my music. From the reference, I plan on transcoding to a variety of bitrates (depending on […]

harmonicizin’ beats

I’ve watched this a couple times, and I’m still trying to figure out if this is cool or silly, and how someone would discover they have both these “talents” (from memepool)

toys are good

On my return, there was a note from FedEx stating they had a package they had tried to deliver, but were unsuccessful in the attempt. I thought it was some crap from work, but it turned out to be the toy I had pre-ordered and had hoped to pick up prior to jumping on an […]
