So for those that don’t know, I resigned my position at my current employer late yesterday. I’m going back to working for a hw/sw company, and am really looking forward to it. I’ll be spending two and a half weeks tying everything up, then will be starting the new job. It’s public knowledge at my […]

Today is Robbie Burns day, and I’m currently in Toronto. McK had pointed this out earlier, and when I called shaver to see if he was around, he pointed it out as well, and mentioned that they were celebrating. Being the celebrating sort, I joined them at the Duke of York for dinner. We all […]

So it’s done. If you don’t know what “it” is, check back in a few days. I’m feeling strangely fine, and considerably less stressed than I was. One of my vendors told me today “you sound happy”. She’s right, I am.

Today I proved that I can wake up at 05:20, pack, drive to the airport, shave (while driving to the airport), grab a coffee, and make a 06:15 flight. I also think I set a personal best this morning for number of times using the word “fuck” before 06:00. That said, I made it to […]

Today is the day I start training for the National Capital Marathon. It’s not until the end of May, but between now and then I have to get to the point where I can run 60-70km/week (before the taper), so I have a bit of work to do. Kjell is going to come out for […]

Eif. I think I know what I’m doing with a significant portion of my life for the next little while. Burnout3 is the most entertaining game I’ve played in a long while. Remember when you were little, and you got the Hot Wheels out and play-crashed huge wrecks? That’s the name of the game. Race […]

Lawyers are making life a little difficult right now. That’s not fair, they’re not making things difficult, they’re doing their job. I can’t be bothered with them, but they’re a necessary evil. It’s not bad, and I understand their position completely, but I’ve done it before and know how to deal with things. It’s all […]

It seems that xwave finally divested itself of the ingenia.com domain name. There’s almost nothing left, except a sign at coop‘s house, and some memories. In a move which completely shocked me, the network admins at xwave actually remembered to hang on to the portable IP blocks they acquired when they acquired Software Kinetics, who […]

Sometimes you get someone off the top rope, coming out of nowhere. Today that was gopher. For those of you who don’t know prii, he’s very well known for his inability to spell pretty much anything. [11:54] <zulu> homer? [11:54] <homerbot> Blame the guy who doesn’t speak English. [11:56] <gopher> blame prii? [11:56] <prii> omg […]

Google announced today that they were implementing some changes to their PageRank system to help fight comment spam. The implementation is pretty simple, you simply add rel=”nofollow” to your hyperlinks, and the search engine will ignore it. Yahoo! and MSN are also participating, and most of the major blog publishing suites are incorporating the change. […]
