Internet radio
Now that I’m alone at work, I’m listening to a lot more music. I’ve got a bunch of my CDs ripped to my hard drive, but that’s not always what I want at work, so I often turn to Internet radio. Unfortunately, we don’t have a huge pipe at work. A 56 kbps stream works […]

I needs the shoes.
I want to buy a new pair of Chucks, but I can’t decide which color to buy. Candice has decided that she wants a pair of light blue low-tops, and since we can’t find them locally she’s going to buy them on the intarweb. I figure I might as well buy myself another pair too, […]

New mouse!
Stopped into Future Shop the other day to buy a boring, entry-level optical mouse, since I’m sick of all the ball-cleaning (HLAGHALHGL) and want to join the 20th century with a wheelmouse. For some reason no-one including the salesperson could understand, the MS Intellimouse Explorer Optical was marked down to $30 (regular $70), so I […]

Not laid off.
I still have a job. This is good news, but I’m now the Lone Sysadmin, so I’m still very much in “WTF?!” mode. I’ll post more when everyone involved has heard everything from the source here, because I don’t want anyone getting news from my journal.

You may not hear much from me until it stabilizes in one direction or another later this week, because I will be dropping into maintenance mode where I just sort of do things that are absolutely necessary. Wednesday is probably stabilization day.

Random update
It’s been forever since I posted about me. It’s always harder to write an interesting post when you’ve put off posting for a while, so I’m only going to half-heartedly try to be interesting here and concentrate on getting past the Post Barrier. I’m sure most of you have figured out by now that Candice […]

Why Ottawa will never win
Having moved from Montreal to Ottawa I often find myself frustrated at Ottawa’s small-town attitude, conservatism, and generally not being a world-class city. Walking down Elgin Street the other night, Candice and I passed a bar (can’t remember which) with a sign out front that read Live Jazz Tonight 7:30 – 10:30 Let me establish […]
