    March 9, 2018
    March 9, 2018. After two days of snow we got warmer temperatures and this mist first thing in the morning today. It was gone by the time I finished breakfast. In the office, I spent the day building a Perl version of a blockchain engine. It doesn't wor...

    March 8, 2018
    March 8, 2018. Stopped for gas on the way home taking exit 79 instead of the usual exit 66. I like driving along the country road sometimes (I've measured and the time difference is less than a minute), Another quiet day though I did enjoy listening to...

    March 5, 2018. There's a lot to ponder about in this display of granola bars at Costco. Why is one in English? Why is one skinnier than the rest? Who thought of a design that overlaps stacked boxes? My visit to Costco followed a day of working on JSON ...

    March 4, 2018
    March 3, 2018. I spent the day working on the harvester. There's not a lot of progress to show for a full day's work, but it looks nicer. I encountered some very tricky problems that turned out to be a lot of fun to solve. Good thing, because some of t...

    February 27, 2018
    February 27, 2018. I was to give a presentation to the group today, so I set up xSplit to feed into the Jabber client so I could show slides and stuff. The setup worked perfectly (I did a test recording) but the presentation was postponed for two weeks...

    February 27, 2018
    February 26, 2018. The highway was backed up so I found myself on Innes Road on the way in to the office. This is the view from Innes Road, which was also backed up (but not as badly as the highway). The Greenbelt isn't exactly green yet, but there are...

    View from the Exercise Bike

    February 27, 2018
    February 25, 2018. Got back from Toronto realizing I had gained some weight, and it seemed nice enough to go biking, but with freezing rain outside it was downstairs to the exercise bike. The good news, though, is that Blue Jays spring training has sta...

    February 24, 2018
    February 24, 2018. These logs are beside the car pool parking lot at an exit on the 417 near Kingston. I had a better photo but it was out of focus, so this backup photo takes the day. We were stopped there so I could coax the MLB app into running agai...

    February 21, 2018. Drove all day and arrived in Vaughn, Ontario, north and west of Toronto. This is the lovely view outside the hotel room window. I'm here for the Canada Moodle Moot conference. https://flic.kr/p/23hwsfe

    February 24, 2018
    February 23, 2018. This lovely spoon is a speaker's gift presented to me after my talk at the Moodle Moot. The talk went pretty well, I thought, and I enjoyed the discussion with the panelists after (something that more keynote talks could benefit from...

    February 24, 2018
    February 22, 2018. I attended the first day of the Moodle Moot conference today, watching Martin Dougiamas and David Porter (by video), among others. This is a shot from the mall attached to the student building, hidden up near the ceiling. It reminded...

    February 19, 2018
    February 19, 2018. This is looking across the tracks from the road out front, toward the new subdivision. There are roads and streetlights but no houses yet, which produces this unusual arrangement of lights in the evening misty rain. I spent the day t...

    February 17, 2018
    February 17, 2018. We went skating on the canal today. It was Andrea's first time and she did really well. I did much less so, though I did manage to stagger around a but. We also had BeaverTails, walked around the ice sculptures, and enjoyed the whole...

    February 16, 2018
    February 16, 2018. I'm sure this has been there all year - maybe even longer - but I didn't notice it until today. It's not the greatest photo but I wanted to record it for posterity. It's just outside my office, by the parking lot. Mixed bag today: wr...

    February 15, 2018. Frustrating day as it took all day to do the OPML code on gRSShopper. I kept making silly errors. On the way home I took a short walk in the forests by Mer Bleu. I only had the compact camera with me and got some so-so photos of Chic...

    February 14, 2018. Pretty good progress on gRSShopper today as I turned my attention to the admin functions. Took a break at lunch to go to Gloucester Centre, a very small mall with a large food court. https://flic.kr/p/EJd6Xt

    February 13, 2018. A day of interviews and project work. There was an absolutely gorgeous sun pillar on the way home, but by the time I got in it had disappeared, leaving me with nothing but this feeble excuse of a sunset. That's the view out the front...
