    Sljeme

    by
    September 28, 2024. Sljeme is a mountain peak just north of Zagreb, and after the conference ended today I took a tram, bus and cable car to get to the top. This resulted in a lot of up-and-down hiking, but he peak was shrouded in mist and it was cert...

    Slats

    by
    October 21, 2024. Worked from the home office today mostly fixing bugs in gRSShopper. I need it functioning properly because I'll be on the road again soon. https://flic.kr/p/2qpgCfE

    Harvest

    by
    October 19, 2024. Went out for a short bike ride today on a beautiful fall day. This is the local harvest, locally called 'cow corn'. As cattle feed, it supports the eastern Ontario dairy industry. Watching the football game as I upload this; it is no...

    Your Ego Is Lying to You

    by
    October 13, 2024. Stairway to an abandoned building on Rue Bleury in Montreal. We're here for the football game tomorrow (go RedBlacks!) and are driving up to Tremblant for a short vacation right after. I've missed maybe a month of daily photos but wh...

    Teeth

    by
    September 17, 2024. My teeth, up close. Started today productively, meeting and work, but then was at the dentist to get a post for a dental implant. Took a couple tries (ack) but I survived. https://flic.kr/p/2qh5Yuz

    Tree Trunk

    by
    September 11, 2024. The moss-covered apple tree trunk outside my office building in the city. It was the first of three office days this week, a result of the uninformed and arbitrary decision made to reduce work-from-home. Traffic was awful and waste...

    Serving Suggestion

    by
    September 10, 2024. Here's a serving of my curry with green onions and, buried under the spicy goodness, a portion of Atlantic Canada salmon. So delicious! A second day of working on a Mastodon client from the home office. https://flic.kr/p/2qga7BY

    Rogers Pond

    by
    September 9, 2024. It was fungus day on our weekly forest walk. We went out to Rogers Pond in Marlborough Forest in rural south-west Ottawa. Very few animals or birds. The light was low and I wasn't really set up for dark fungus pics. Evening was spen...

    Argos

    by
    September 7, 2024. The RedBlacks played the Argos this afternoon. A rare day game, it could have been fantastic, but is was cold and poured rain for pretty much the entire game. Nice to see a convincing win, though. Got home, went to sleep right away....

    Jimmy Carr

    by
    September 6, 2024. I wanted to share a photo from the Jimmy Carr and Jim Jeffries show tonight, but all I'm allowed to show is this. The show was great but it would have been nice to have something more to remember it by. The evening followed a great ...

    Parking Lot Rose

    by
    September 4, 2024. This rose is found in the parking lot by the Costco where I went for lunch. Office day, which I spent heads-down all day writing 'Why Free Learning Needs Free Artificial Intelligence'. https://flic.kr/p/2qeQt9e

    Gaviscon

    by
    September 3, 2024. Another nightstand photo. That's what we get when I have a busy day. Today I wrote a script that allows me to post from OLDaily into BlueSky. Pretty happy about that - in the past, it would have taken me a week. https://flic.kr/p/2q...

    Emerald Forest

    by
    September 2, 2024. Went out for a nice 63 km ride today that included a jaunt through this, the Larose Forest (which is in my mind always referred to as the Emerald Forest). Cool with a strong northwest breeze. Watching football this evening. https://...
