Work Update
People keep asking me about these things, so I figured I should get on top of it this time and let everyone know in advance. Having (almost, really, it's just about done) finished up some contract work I was doing for apenwarr, I'm continuing in the "I can't escape my former co-workers" theme by taking on some contract work from NITI proper. I'm ( Read more... ) -

All you need to know about my trip back to Montreal
All you need to know about my trip back to Montreal on Monday: my route was St. John's -> Halifax -> Montreal, and the last time I saw my luggage was Monday afternoon in Toronto. I guess the fog made it hard to see my bag. -

Bacon Ice Cream Remains At Large

Vista
pcolijn: Forget asking if anyone tried to use Vista on a couch with a remote. I'm wondering if anyone tried to use it at all. My new laptop came with Vista, and for a couple of reasons I left it on for a few weeks. One of the main reasons was sheer curiosity - everyone was saying it was terrible, but I couldn't believe it was all that bad. To ( Read more... ) -
A Tale of Two Cell Phones
I'm in the middle of getting a new cell phone. Not that there was anything especially wrong with my old one - sure, it recently turned 6 and the battery isn't so hot, but it got the job done - it's just that Bell managed to infuriate me beyond description. Not to get into it too much, but suffice it to say that in one phone call, the guy I was ( Read more... ) -
