afk Dec 23-Jan 2

Just a note that I’ll be generally offline or away from the computers for the duration of the holidays. I’ll still check email and may even do a little coding for fun but IRC response may be sluggish, delayed and possibly drunk. Happy Holidays everybody! PS, to all my bearded brothers and sisters out there. [...]


ABC Meme

I don’t usually do these meme things, but I saw this one on Planet via Ehsan’s blog (by way of Benjamin’s) and thought it’d be a fun use for my WikifyTabs add-on… an add-on in sore need of an update to produce HTML links instead of just MediaWiki. In any case, this was surprising. That’s [...]


Zap your PRAM 2008

I was fortunate to spend this weekend with some talented and cool people at Dalvay by the Sea in Prince Edward Island. Zap your PRAM is a kind of “unconference” inspired by SHIFT and the like where a bunch of tech people get together and hang out for a few days and talk about stuff. [...]


WikifyTabs

This weekend I took a bit of time out of my busy schedule of barbecuing and hiking among the rocks to write a little extension. A visiting friend asked if there was an easy way to get a list of the currently open tabs to enter in a wiki page. I tried various “bookmark all [...]


X-country

It’s done! 3600kms and a lot of packing and lifting later, I’m in Moncton and waiting on my stuff. A few last-minute things to do before we take possession of our new house, but otherwise, it should be business as usual this week. Oh yeah, I posted a few pictures from earlier this week while [...]


Monctonia

I’m moving. Over the next week, I’m going to be busy shuttling between Ottawa and Moncton and getting ready for the movers to pick up our stuff on Friday. I have a lot of work to do. While away, for questions related to the unittest machines, please see Chris Cooper (aka, coop online). Talos queries [...]


mozilla 1.0

I was packing up my software shelf this weekend prepping for our move and was amazed at some of the accumulation on it. One pleasant surprise in amongst all the now-useless Knoppix live CDs and out-dated versions of Quicktax long-uninstallable video-games was this little gem. Little did I think then that 4 years later I’d [...]


Snow!

Ah, The holidays. I was planning on taking a couple of weeks off to drive out east and visit my family and do fun vacation things, but it seems the weather is conspiring against me. Fortunately, I built a little extra time in up front so it doesn’t really matter when we leave, but i [...]


And then there were 3

Yeah, so, I caved. And shaved. It felt like failure, but the thought of facing the public in… that face. It was too much to bear. (bare?) Best of luck to Johnath, Ben and Beltzner in your beardic quest. Lookin‘ good, boys.


NSID

It is December. My colleagues and I have decided to embark upon a great experiment we’re calling NSID – short for No Shaving In December. That’s right. A few of us, who I won’t name here, but you will be able to tell in a crowd should you bump into them in a dusty street [...]
