February 7, 2020. The highways were a mess today because of the hevy snowfall, so I worked from the home office, pushing forward again on the ethics paper. https://flic.kr/p/2irzPuf
February 6, 2020. With more snowfall, the bird feeder has become increasingly popular in the neighbourhood. For me, it was back to the ethics paper today, including migrating completed bits to Pressbooks (yes, I've conceded that it's a book). https://f...
February 5, 2020. I got to taste Andrea's marmalade today, which she put in jars yesterday. The first note you taste is maple, but then the Seville orange flavour comes to the fore. Finished revisions to my OER paper, did a survey, and caught up on som...
February 4, 2020. They've taken down all the posters and other wall art (such as it was) at our office in preparation for painting. This is what it looks like before that painting. Meeting in the morning, and completed a bunch of 'Big Data Day' reviews...
February 3, 2020. Either I was a bit early or the 4807 was a bit late, but either way, I had to stop for it on the way in. Today I worked on my OER paper, and with an extra push. I got it sent off by the end of the day. https://flic.kr/p/2ipzxyj
January 2, 2020. These are the shelves I built in Moncton; they've been in storage (and the books in boxes) but I reassembled them today. We need to get the place a bit more ship-shape if we want kittens; the house needs to be safe for them. This was t...
February 1, 2020. We went into the city and walked around downtown to enjoy Winterlude, Ottawa's mid-winter festival mostly known for its ice carvings. It was good to get outside, take some photos, and put everything else to the side for a day. https:/...
January 31, 2020. We now have only one cat in the house. This is Lexi, who is slowly realizing that she is Queen of the Castle (here she enjoys relaxing in Alex's traditional roosting spot). Productive day, all things considered - almost emptied my wor...
January 23, 2020. At the Starbucks drive-through. Lots of progress on the ethics paper - maybe I should start calling it a book, it's more than 20 pages and I'm still on part one. Anyhow, I am being left alone to work on this, which I appreciate, and I...
January 22, 2020. This is the inside of a bottle I use to fill my CPAP with distilled water. Today I reviewed a bunch of conference proposals and attended to other admin tasks, and then made progress on the ethics paper. https://flic.kr/p/2ijmouJ
January 21, 2020. Lots of progress on the ethics (monster) paper today. Then to Costco (pictured) on the way home. Bad news on No Man's Sky - I've reached my construction limit on my mega base. :( Now I have to go back to playing the game? https://flic...
January 20, 2020. Sitting in my car waiting for traffic to move on Blair. It was quite cold out today, but I got some exercise at lunch by going to St. Laurant Shopping Centre. Lots of progress on the ethics paper. https://flic.kr/p/2iicTGr
January 19, 2020. Another big day for the ethics paper, with a lot of progress made. So much so that I only had a couple of hours for No Man's Sky. This is Alex after evening tuna, looking as secure as he could be, as though he knows there's a storm ou...
January 18, 2020. Snow started in the afternoon and kept up all day. Nothing like Newfoundland, but it was still the heaviest snowfall of the year. I stayed in and made a lot of progress on my ethics paper (and then played video games, as usual). https...
January 17, 2020. A week or so ago we bought and stocked a bird feeder. It got some chickadee attention at first, then was quiet, but is now a lot more popular after the snow. On the work front, I was able to get Vagrant and Docker and the rest running...
January 16, 2019. So it did snow overnight; this is how pretty Casselman looks in the morning. Aside from dropping in on Bryan Alexander's book launch, I spent most of the day working on setting up Docker on my office desktop. Without success so far......
January 15, 2020. Good day with a lot of progress on the ethics paper. Didn't even think of poking my head outdoors. I was expecting a snowstorm in the evening, but when I poked my head out the window all I saw was darkness, no snow. https://flic.kr/p/...
January 14, 2020. I was just sitting at my computer in the kitchen and noticed that the shadow on the wall looks like Darth Vader. Well, to me it does. Meeting in the morning, ethics paper in the afternoon, along with a little work dedicated to setting...
January 13, 2020. The subject of this photo isn't the tree, it's the weather. It was a heavy grey day with mist in the air and cold that permeated everything. The tree, meanwhile, is outside the office, which I abandoned when the internet went down. ht...
This is an image from my city in No Man's Sky. I devoted the first half of the day to adding a few paragraphs to my ethics paper, and the second to continuing construction. Why am I building a city in No Man's Sky? No reason. There are many cities in t...
January 10, 2020. This is a display in our local Metro, where I stopped to buy milk and noodles. Today was devoted to the ethics paper again, where I made quite a bit of progress (but where progress right now is being measured in paragraphs, not pages)...
January 9, 2020. This was in my lunch today, a cookie made by Andrea. I split the day between working on the ethics paper and setting up the new computer (efforts to run Docker failed because of IT policy, yet again). https://flic.kr/p/2icFhfY
January 8, 2020. Explored converting PDFs to text today. Lex was no help, but I did learn some stuff about PDFs. In the background you can see hallway Buddha and the geraniums. https://flic.kr/p/2icsoVY
January 7, 2020. Normally this buddha sits in the hallway, but we don't really have a hallway, so it is temporarily sitting on my table. Still cool, though. Not so productive today (meetings always take away from my edge). https://flic.kr/p/2icsjaA
January 5, 2020. The old Krups coffee maker finally gave up the ghost (the electronics gave out) and so we welcome a new Breville coffee maker to the house today. It takes a bit to get used to, but it certainly seems to make good coffee. https://flic.k...
January 6, 2020. This is a bit of forest alongside the CSEC building. We had snow today, and the drive into the city was as bad as I've ever seen it. Productive day, though, working on my ethics paper (still!). https://flic.kr/p/2ibsJRf
January 2, 2020. Bobby's Table is a restaurant in Vanier I visit from time to time. It's a neighbourhood with a lot of character. Eventually it will be gentrified. But I like it the way it is now. https://flic.kr/p/2ia9yQx
January 1, 2010. This is the last cat photo with the old camera, as I'm moving from Samsung to (what I believe will be) a more reliable Google Pixel 4 XL. https://flic.kr/p/2iacVZz
