Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
Have I mentioned I’m a Leafs fan that doesn’t mind seeing the Sens win? That’s fucked up. I love the Leafs. I hate Patte Quin and how he’s turned them into a bunch of whiners. Darcy Tucker’s really over-rated, and Domi sure can’t take what he dishes out anymore. I know he’s a great community […]
Well, I’m already crazy, but you know what I mean. I’ve finished the work I had to do, which was mostly getting some last-minute instructions regarding a customer communication and an updated migration plan out the door. The next three weeks are going to be difficult, so I’ll be leaving work on the table for […]
So I’ve made my way halfway across the country, and am in Calgary to visit with friends and fambly for five days. I don’t fly domestically very often, and when I do it’s usually with Mapleflot because I’m forced by company policy to use them (I guess the monopolies figure they have to support each […]
Surprise! There will be no migration this weekend. I have made a note to substitute “no, that’s not ok” everytime the folks I’m dealing with say “ok”. They are amazing, and do great work, but I think their management has trained them too well in the “customer is always right” department. We’re not. We’re a […]
So I’ve been at this working out and getting fit thing for a while now, and it’s time to see how things are going. I started this iteration of remaking myself in August last year, and I have to admit, I have blown by any milestones I thought I’d achieve. In August, I was 234lbs […]
It’s snowing. It’s icy. Driving’s a mess. Someone up in the weather room ain’t paying attention, and I’m done with the whole “winter” thing. Knock it off already, it’s bad enough the only radio I can get has Stuntman Stu on it. Suck. Did you know that CFLAS is not nearly the same as CFLAGS […]
Holy crap, deadsquid.com is over six years old! Funny, but for some reason, it feels like 12. Cthulu – which is deadsquid.com – started off as an SGI Challenge S (it’s still around) with a 2GB drive and 256MB of memory running IRIX 5.3. It made it’s debut in Ottawa on Bell Canada’s first ADSL […]
It’s from a couple days ago, but it summarizes my state of mind nicely. I hated it when I wrote it, but I kinda like it today.
Another one of my friends bites the dust. Sorry kjell-o, but the invites are no longer the only place the site is advertised. But verbage like that in the site and you know some dick is going to post a link somewhere. Congrats, and I’m glad Laura has decided she can handle a scotch-snarfing raggedy-ass […]
A friend of mine recommended that I watch Cabin Fever, and I was a wee bit skeptical. I watched it yesterday, and all I can say is “watch this movie”. I didn’t really get a feel for it from the trailers when it came out in the theatres, and was sure it was going to […]
