The best-laid plans are in my other pants
I got my new display installed and all is almost well, but there’s two pixels smack in the center with the red component stuck on. I’ve tried such things as JScreenFix and massaging/tapping to no avail. So I guess it’s going back to the seller for an exchange. (You can’t really see it at this…
Well, this morning while I was packing up my laptop it kind of slipped, and… well… Yeah, so don’t expect Banshee.OpenVP to be ready for a while.
It’s been just about a year since I started working at Ontario Systems. I’d always been lacking evidence that it’s a pretty fun place to work. Well now I have a few pictures of some of the more subtle goings-on. Here are the present contents of the album, sure to grow as our shenanigans continue:…
My DSL and phone service is due to be activated today. When I got up I had dialtone, which is a good sign. But a few days ago I had an interesting encounter that was just too humorous not to share. On Thursday the DSL modem showed up but since I was spending the night…
A few fun things have been happening, but I’ve been too busy to write about them. Now that I have time, I’ve just finished moving into my new house for the summer and won’t have Internet access until this Monday (or later if past experience on this topic is any indication). Anyway, here is a…

People thinking I…
This morning I got up and was going to take a hot shower. I started to take off my shirt and in so doing I must’ve bent my neck funny because I felt a sudden shooting pain near my left shoulder. After I recoiled, the initial sharp pain died down and it was replaced by…
During the prayer at the end of chapel today the pastor’s voice broke from emotion and she stopped abruptly mid-word. My immediate reaction was “argh, packet loss again!?” Yeah. It’s that bad.
All in all this was a pretty good week. My new job has been a lot of fun and it feels good to finally have a job where my skills are being used. The team has been very welcoming and are fun to work with. My computer is back alive too… actually it was sometime…
My computer should be working by the end of the week. Turns out the motherboard is dead, so I’m getting a new system: AMD 64 X2 2.8GHz. $347.24 later and let’s hope nothing else fried. My right wrist is also not working so well. I’m taking an anti-inflammatory and have it in a brace. It…
