Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
Alrighty, the migration went very smoothly this evening – a very different experience from the last time. The pre-test went almost perfectly, with only a minor hiccup with some unexpected lag from making some config changes to an MTA and a couple of zonefiles that didn’t load properly. We were able to move the final […]
Today is one of those days where I kinda wish I hadn’t done the things I did the night before. I didn’t go out of my way to hurt myself, but fatigue is cumulative, and with a beer-influenced sleep I’m positively exhausted today. Yesterday was James’ birthday and the start of this year’s CFL pre-season. […]
So I’m riding the bus to work this morning (I was lazy, I admit it), and I saw another ad for Clean Air Day. The ad encouraged people to walk, bike, run, etc. to work on Clean Air day to help the environment, and I guess to try and drive a point home. It displayed […]
Some great parody ads at the expense of Diebold. The underlying theme is that Diebold technologies can help maintain your democracy. Very well done. Thanks for the link, Coop!
Why is it that the majority of people who leave a message in voicemail will speak in slow, measured tones right up to the point where they say their phone number? Following a usually-intelligible message, they put their tongue into overdrive and blurt out the seven to ten digits of their phone number so quickly […]
kj came up with a gem today that captures my feelings on the upcoming election pretty effectively. He’s right; it’s the same old issues with the same old gang of idiots schlepping the same old bullshit. I was speaking with a few friends yesterday who work with a minister’s office in town. Apparently, once the […]
…and it seems like folks ran some pretty good times in the half marathon. Jenn finished 156th overall, and 12th among women, in 1:31:36.5. Sylvie finished in a kick-ass 2:10:18.5, and Kerri finished up in 2:21:54.6. Congrats, folks! I walked Kerri to the starting line, and it was amazing how many people were out. Lots […]
Today was a pretty decent day, starting off with brunch at the Pump, and followed by a round of disc golf at the Jacques Cartier course over in Hull Gatineau. I played with “real” discs for the first time, and managed to play bogey golf; I’ll take it. The hardest part was getting accustomed to […]
…is no running for kev. I’m pretty upset, and words can’t describe the letdown I’m feeling at this moment. I’ve been training for this event since December and now that it’s here, I can’t run. Like kj says, there’s only one ankle and many half marathons, but I really wanted this. For once, I am […]
Every so often a clip comes along which depicts some twit who is doing something stupid or is in some sort of trouble. Their friends have no problem filming the event, and usually goad them on or laugh at their misfortune while offering zero assistance. They’re usually pretty funny, but if it were me I’d […]
