I hope to return to more regular posts here shortly – I’ve been distracted with some computer work recently for friends that have taken up what free time I have after hours. In the meantime, I’ve been gradually redesigning this site. (Note the new information / link panel at the bottom of the page.) It’s …
Michelle was away in Florida this weekend visiting her brother. Since I had the house to myself, I gravitated towards my usual “stay up very late” schedule, something I do naturally but which only really happens when I have the house to myself because I can make as much noise as I want without worrying …
I’ve just now found a cool Grand Canyon WebCam site that I’d like to have available to people who get to my home page. (It has sentimental value because of where Michelle and I were married.) Obviously, I finally need to work on getting that “Cool Sites” section on this page that I’ve been thinking …
Just the other day I came across an article on the BT420 i-PHONO Bluetooth Hi-Fi Sports Headphone – a Bluetooth enabled sports headphone. In other words, it’s wireless. No need to worry about dangling cords as you listen to your music, particularly as you’re jogging or doing whatever other sport you might be interested in. …

A little late to the game, I’ve come across an excellent photo (and videoclip) gallery called Coppermine. I say “late” because it’s already fully featured at version 1.3 and, when I mentioned it to Glen, he said that he’s been using it for a while now. In any case, I’ve set up a new “Bassford …
Yesterday, somebody (again) posted a comment to one of my journal entries about how I could enlarge my penis by going to their Web site… The latest version of Movable Type is incompatible with Jay Allen’s MT-Blacklist plugin, so my Movable Type Web log entries are open to getting comment spam again – despite my …
My networking support team at Microsoft is now using a new support model. The bottom line is that we’re all now working in various “shifts” that are supposed to be rotated every 3 months. I drew the shift that has the least impact on my previous M-F 9-6 schedule. Now I’m working M-F 10-7. (Some …
I recently said that the chess program Rival Chess “suits all of my needs” – I spoke too soon. I hadn’t really taken a look at the program. Not only could I not configure the board/piece colours appropriately, but it wouldn’t remember the settings I’d put in place between games. Perhaps the registered version does, …
I have a really big pet peeve. That’s renting DVDs that are in full screen only. In fact I hate it so much that there are some movies I’ve wanted to see but have simply never watched because Blockbuster (Canada) only makes the full screen version available. I’ve complained about this to them too – …
It is, at least, when it comes to Amazon.ca. I recently bought three DVDs – Searching For Bobby Fischer (in honour of Michelle’s new interest in the game), Noises Off! (a very funny comedy that I’ve been waiting to have released on DVD for some time now), and My Life, with Nicole Kidman and Michael …
