(Wedding/Paris updates coming soon, I promise! I’ve been busy at the Ottawa Linux Symposium this week.) While I was gone, work replaced our old employee ID cards (magstripe for access control, visual ID at the front desk) with proximity cards and front-door turnstiles, since another company is going to be sharing some building space with […]

Canada Day, and new toy!
Candice and I have a new camera! We both had old 3-megapixel digital cameras from a while ago, but Candice‘s HP Photosmart 715 is sort of big and clunky, and my Olympus C-3040 uses SmartMedia memory which is hard to find. We decided we might as well get something better to take to Paris, so […]

Wikipedia contrail
This is my “Wikipedia contrail” — the list of pages in Wikipedia I’ve been to in the last week or two, according to my browser history. There isn’t a whole lot of random browsing around (which is what would make it a contrail, I guess), but the breadth amused me. Mythology and fiction in Nethack, […]
