I am really hoping Jack Layton is all right
I saw his presser today. He looked very thin and not well. I hope that whatever they have found is at a stage where they can beat it back into…

As I type, OS X is installing on the new hard disk in Irene's Macbook Air. As it happens, I managed to install it. There was a time when the…
Back in the days when my server was in my basement, upgrading the OS was a bit of an adventure, but it never felt terribly scary. I mean, the backup…
Well that was a drag. I ordered a hard disk to replace the defunct one in Irene's Macbook Air several weeks ago. It finally arrived and I spent much of…
I figured out a problem with a site I'm meant to be supporting as part of my freelance business. It was a Drupal White Screen of Death which was not…
Narrative plus photos, maps, and what not now posted here. A lovely trip although I clearly didn't travel far enough and had too much time to write.
Things are looking good. There is, however the small matter of getting the house ready. Putting away the pizza boxes, hiding the cases of empties, taking down the posters of…
Have I missed anything? Hope not. I'm mostly ready to go. Of course the last thing is computer related. I managed to wipe out the virtual machine I use to…
And other things too. Really. My evening out with former comrades more than made up for the fact that I was at work nosing the grindstone right up to when…
When I lived on my own, it was pretty much a certainty that if I was home, there'd be music playing. Not necessarily loud but it was playing. When first…
So you need to wash all your bedding if someone in your family gets pinworms and you want to have a chance at getting rid of them. And that's everyone.…
Having a beer in front of the computer. Who hoo! And the tupperware? Out of which I ate leftovers for dinner? Isn't even washed up yet! Double whoo! Bachelor week…
My dad rents the back 10 to a farmer - one of the last on concession. Don't think there's much money in it, but when it's canola being farmed, you…
I spent most of today at my dad's place, wielding heavy duty gardening gadgetry. My dad runs a gardening business and lately his place is proof of the saying about…
Despite a slight reddening around her vagina, the night time only screaming makes us think it’s pinworms. Again. This is the child we’re talking about, in case that’s not clear.…
Lately I've been doing some work on other people's websites, hosted elsewhere. It's a bit new to me how things are done these days, so forgive me if I show…
Today we launched one of the seven websites I need to relaunch this summer. There are still some rough patches, but it's mostly there. I hope this will start a…
And CentOS is still offering only 5.1.6. Oh yes, I've read the reams of 'your mileage may vary' message board conversations about getting their version of 5.3 to work, but…
But it is working. Mallory was swimming with her head underwater today. Also doing bobs without a noodle. And swimming across the pool by herself. And swimming on her back…
As the parties rage on in the apartments across the street and the improv fireworks pop and boom seemingly right outside my sleeping child's window, I must confess my ambivalence…
