April 21, 2024. This is a view of the Ottawa River from the trail. No hike today, no nothing today, yesterday's bike ride left me sore all over, so I spent the day just recovering. https://flic.kr/p/2pMDZ8h
April 20, 2024. Maple suygar shack near the creek on Longtin Road near Casselman. Went for a bike ride today, only 30 km, but the strong winds and cold weather wiped me out (and gave me a bit of a minor oblique strain). https://flic.kr/p/2pMDZP4
April 18, 2024. View of the home office, where I'm comfortable and productive. I like half-dead plants, bright lights and open curtains, flags and mementos, electronics, wood and leather. https://flic.kr/p/2pMxCQL
April 16, 2024. Worked from the office today; one meeting, did newsletter posts, a little bit on the cloud site. Thrown off a bit by an in-meeting discussion on stress that felt a little too personal for me. Took a bike ride over the lunch hour, spott...
April 15, 2024. Something about April showers. Looking east outside the window after my bike ride as the rain goes away. I choose to think of it as the start of spring. Wrote a presentation proposal today, and newsletter stuff. That is all. https://fl...
April 11, 2024. Today started with a meeting first thing in the morning, and this was the centrepiece on the meeting room table. I had a couple more meetings, but then the network began to sag (looks like they were running updates, to judge by my logs...
April 12, 2024. This is a souvenir from Australia hanging in my office. The plant in front of it is another from my Moncton office. I bought the artwork in Sydney; it was rolled in a tube. When I got home I got it nicely framed to display it the way i...
April 9, 2024. The bicycle, photographed during a break on a small country road. We drove home from Bromont this morning, I put in a few hours of work, then I took advantage of the beautiful weather to enjoy a nice ride in the country. https://flic.kr...
April 8, 2024. The eclipse, as seen from Bromont, Quebec. With cloud coming in from the west we got up early and drove out to Bromont. They had set up a hill in a park for viewing and conditions were nearly perfect. The photo doesn't do it justice; it...
April 5, 2024. Grackles and starlings sitting in the top of a tree in the back yard waiting, as we all are, for spring. Woke up very early this morning for one meeting, then had a presentation to do for a second. Meanwhile trying to get the crust off ...
April 4, 2024. I did have a meeting scheduled in the city for today, but we had an early spring snowstorm instead, so we made do with Teams. Other than this I focused on cleaning up gRSShopper a bit more and working on my newsletter. https://flic.kr/p...
April 3, 2024. Squirrel at Mer Bleue forest. Worked from the office today, got 8 years of tax returns off the table, and stopped by at the forest in the wind and the cold cold rain to take a few photos. https://flic.kr/p/2pH8TCh
April 2, 2024. The nice weather is coming to an end, as evidenced by the sky. Today was spend beginning to end solving a cron problem on my website, the last major issue remaining in the website move. It involved taking apart the authentication in the...
April 1, 2024. This is a church in Crysler called Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, which I photographed while on a 37 km bike ride in the cold and the wind. I also spent some time on my European project. https://flic.kr/p/2pGGaZ3
March 31, 2024. This is a pitcher plant from last year seen along our walk around the pond in Glengarry Forest near Alexandria. The rest of the day I spent working on the Europe project. https://flic.kr/p/2pGB6vA
March 30, 2024. We visited my mother today while my brother Bill (centre) drove up with his family from their home near Elora. I also spent time working on my European project. https://flic.kr/p/2pGBwYW
March 29, 2024. Grackle in a tree about 100 yards from me, photographed while sitting in my office chair holding the camera (with the big lens) by hand. Just messing around a bit to test different ways of using it. Most of the day I spent reading arti...
March 28, 2024. This is the Sun, photographed in late afternoon using my solar filter. There's a bit of horizontal cloud and a sun spot visible. I'm preparing for the Eclipse coming up soon. Learned so more things, specifically, that the camera produc...
March 27, 2024. Barn, as seen on my bike ride (nice day, finally). It followed a day of meetings and puttering. Typical spring day. https://flic.kr/p/2pFLbYq
March 25, 2024. This is Epsilon Base, my newest home in No Man's Sky, the video game I spend far too much time playing. In between bouts of playing the game I worked on restoring my web site and getting the newsletter software running again. https://f...
March 24, 2024. Cedar waxwings, high in the treetops (where they link to hang out), spotted on our walk in Guindon Park, near Cornwall. The rest of the day was spent recovering my website. https://flic.kr/p/2pFeB2E
March 23, 2024. The Moon, as seen from our backyard. Photographed using the 600 mm lens. Not as sharp and clear as I would like - I learned a couple things, though it was too cold to go back and try again. I managed to get my website back up today, af...
March 22, 2024. Print by someone known as 'Ryan 100' in our room at the Brookstreet. I liked it, through it looked like it was water damaged. It was still the best art in the room. Worked through the morning, drove home at lunch (much easier!) and spe...
March 21, 2024. We went to the hockey game, unusual for a Thursday, but I worked from home, then we drove in, checked in at the Brookstreet Hotel (still not a problem-free check-in), and took the shuttle to the game. This is far easier (and safer!) th...
March 19, 2024. A look back at the back side of the office where I work. Had an interesting discussion on intelligence and worked to fix my site. That's about it. Still cold. https://flic.kr/p/2pEmNC7
March 17, 2024. We went out to the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary today for a short walk in the rain and snow pellets to take photos of birds. Even with the big lens, it's still pretty hard to do. Other than that, today was a work day. https://...
March 13, 2024. This is a decoration inside Feleena's, a Mexican restaurant across from the bike shop. They had to drill out the broken bit of extender in order to fit my bike pedals back in. I also paid a visit to an accountant to get started on taxe...
March 12, 2024. This is a spot alongside a road a shade under 10 km away from home. It's where I was stranded when the pedal on my bicycle broke off and went flying. It wasn't the pedal that broke, it was just an extender. Took a taxi home. Still - ev...
