This past weekend, Glen, Maria, and I went to see War Of The Worlds. The movie itself was visually impressive, and there were some nice scenes. Overall, however, I found the scripting of the characters, and the unbelievability of some of the events that happened to them – even within the context of alien invaders …
The new name for Mozilla has been officially announced as “SeaMonkey”, and the first release will be version 1.0. This is no big surprise, as that’s always been the codename for the project. However, there’s still a (somewhat vocal) minority that’s upset that this is the name that was actually decided upon. Personally, it’s what …
Right, that’s it for now. After some experimentation, I discovered that I couldn’t banish the left-hand column after all. It didn’t look right (to me) without anything on that side. I did, however, make it smaller so that it wasn’t as noticeable – and added the column effect to my journal entries. Likewise, the page …
It’s time I gave this journal / home page a bit of a facelift. I’m going to banish the left-hand column, with my autobiography, which always stays the same. I’m, personally, tired of always seeing the same thing every time I visit. I’m going to create a link to it at the bottom of the …
At least not in some ways. I’d meant to post this a few weeks ago, after having seen Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, but never got around to it. In the Lord Of The Rings series, he played Saruman, one of the cooler villains. After making him a memorable character, Peter Jackson …

Last Tuesday, a friend of Michelle’s took our old washer and dryer. On Friday night, we took the rest of our appliances out of the kitchen and moved them downstairs to the condo’s recycling / loading room, so that they could be easily taken away on Saturday morning. The dishwasher was the most painful experience. …
Just this past weekend, Michelle and I bought a new set of major appliances for our house – all five. After several unsuccessful meetings with uninformed / unhelpful sales people at Sears, we finally ended up going to the excellent Goemans Appliances in Stoney Creek. The woman who helped us was awesome, and the showroom …
A little while ago, Michelle and I noticed that the VCR we had in our living room wasn’t recording properly. Anything we recorded on in would end up having a distorted band at the top of the picture when we played it back. We started to record our shows on the VCR in our bedroom. …
I finally got around to buying a better heatsink for my computer – a Thermaltake SonicTower. It’s meant to be fanless, although there is an optional fan that you can install onto it as well. I picked this up at good old Canada Computers and, for some reason, didn’t get the optional fan. In looking …
