Rain! Well, that has certainly damped my plans to work on the shed tonight. We’ll see what happens. I would like to personally thank Quentin Tarantino for appearing on American Idol tonight. This caused me to watch the show, something I would normally not do of my own volition. This caused me to see his […]

Not much to say tonight. Ate too much chocolate of course, worked on the shed some more (walls up, roof not up. Maybe tomorrow), and now I just want to post the prettiest flower picture ever. The full-size picture is quite spectacular; for once I wish I had a full-resolution version of this, but I […]

Happy Easter! Up and down. Christ is risen, thank God, which means I can end my Lenten devotion of not procrastinating. For the next fifty days, it’s nothing but unrepentant laziness! Ahem. You see, that’s the problem with taking on a more nebulous form of self-improvement than giving up chocolate. With chocolate, you give it […]

Feeling proud Okay, now that the Pacific Populaire times have been posted, I thought I’d take a few paragraphs to brag about the magnitude of my achievement, followed by a few sentences of proper humility. You’ll notice that me and Kristine finished with an official time of 2:55. I don’t really know her, but we […]

And a big hello to my co-workers, who today will be listening to me blather on about weblogging as a new technology, and speculating on some departmental uses for blogging. The fascinating thing about blogging is that like many great web-based ideas, the technology is not very complex (a blog-publishing system is, reductively, just a […]

Okay, so Alanis wanted to show that it was repressive to be taken aback by public nudity, and she demonstrated that by…not being naked. C’mon, where’s the courage of your convictions, eh? Ah, I’m not going any further with that story. Another short entry tonight, for which I won’t apologise. I have just been busy. […]

Above Average Just a short note for now: I just finished the Pacific Populaire. Official Times should be available this evening, and my card is not quite reliable as to official times because of a delay in the start (which should be calculated into the start time), but it appears I did a sub-3-hour 100km […]

Veni Vedi Flicki So I met Claire for the EV ride Saturday morning, we got a good healthy warm-up going around UBC, and then I knocked her off the Pinarello. D’oh! Well, it wasn’t quite as bad as that, but when the dust settled I dropped her off at a clinic for treatment of scrapes […]

So, What’s up? I dunno. I’m just plum fatigued right now, and I think it’s because I’ve been busy. I’m never quite sure. But let’s see: Yesterday I got up at 4 to troubleshoot a network outage (thanks, Telus!) that killed The Lovely One’s web tutoring session. Then I went to work. Came home, got […]

Some of you may have noticed that my posting level has fallen off an awful lot lately. That’s because I suck. BTW, hands up anyone here who would care if I spent an hour and set up an Atom feed for this thing. Feedback to the usual address, please. If I don’t hear anything, I […]
