Only have a half hour to drop this in, so I’ll just get in there. I finally dug into trying to clean up the podcast we did in October (I think it was) and see if I could do anything about a microphone blowout I was creating. Â Turned out “okay,” but that’s about it, sadly….
NaBloPoMovember: Day 9
Had a brainfart this evening, and went to FoxBird instead of Firefox. Â http://www.foxbird.com/ is what would probably happen if I tried to write html on my own in notepad. Â Not my forte, is what I’m saying. (and spoiler alert, PAGE FIVE is not nearly as exciting as you might have hoped) Had lunch with a…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 8
Well, day one on the new bike, and I didn’t die. Been too long (like, maybe a month?) and it’s DARK out there during the ride home. Only gonna get worse from here on in. I have about a bajillion lights all over my rig, and when I came up behind someone on a dark…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 7
After the movie and stuff last night we had a snack and suddenly the world seemed a much nicer place to be. Slept in a little this morning, got up and made pancakes for the kids (spent almost ten minutes trying to figure out where the waffle iron went, as I forgot it died about…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 6
Bought my new bike today. Got a good deal on bike that’s “last year’s” model (’cause the new ones come out in a few weeks in Canada.) It’s black, and it weighs almost nothing, and it’s got disc brakes (with hydraulic fluid in the “cable:” I was not aware it worked like that.) It has…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 5
Today was also a long day, but it ended on a happy note. After many many hours of backing up data just in case the Isilon cluster decided to asplode when we upgraded the operating system, I finally shooed everyone out of the office and “pulled the trigger” on the upgrade process. Uploaded the upgrade…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 4
Been a long day. Â 9am meeting, 11am meeting, calls about licensing, emails about stuff, out to get some mice (note to Apple: 3D artists who use Maya want full-length keyboards with a number pad, and a mouse with three buttons, so that’s an extra $100 we need to add to the iMacs we’re buying, or…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 3
Freaky gorgeous sunrise this morning. Listened to William Gibson’s Zero History on the way in. Â As always, some truly excellent writing. Â The moustache isn’t really worth posting pictures of yet, but it’s getting there. Â By the weekend, I’ll have something approaching photo-worthy. Didn’t go bicycle shopping today ’cause the place closes at six, and I…
NaBloPoMovember Day 2: Boudclusting.
November is a dark and dreary month here in Raincouver on Canada’s Wet Coast, and the first two days have certainly been, uh… wobbly. Â Yesterday was dim and dark, but today was only foggy (like, Londonesque) and then suddenly freakishly nice out. Â It’s waffling. Â Nice breezes. Â Good sweater weather. Â Not weather that’s good for sweaters,…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 1
[Long rambling whatsit going on here, either spin on, or grab a snack for the ride]. Hey, so here we aaaaaaaaaare. Been a long damned time, and there’s a whole bunch of stuff to cover, so I’ma just jump right on in. I have a new job since the last time I blogged, which is…
