Stars in the Window

Celebration of Life
January 13, 2017. We said good-bye to my brother Allan today. Lots of family and friends, including the whole crew from where he worked. Obit: http://ift.tt/2mAB3xb... Instead of replying with comments and condolances please consider donating to the Di... -
Brian’s
January 11, 2017. I spent some time today coding and some time today printing pictures. This is from Brian's, a local restaurant near the highway in Casselman, where we had a nice dinner with family. http://ift.tt/2FAXkmC -
In the Fog
January 12, 2017. It's the January thaw. Our local microclimate treated us to fog. This is the Casselman bridge, with sewage system construction happening in the foreground. http://ift.tt/2EG1l7I -
Abalone
January 9, 2017. Another quiet day spent mostly coding. This is a red abalone (a type of sea creature that produces pearls) that sits in our kitchen. The holes are respiratory apertures. Andrea has had it since forever. http://ift.tt/2DsIjCM -
Hoarfrost
January 10, 2017. Cold day today, and we were greeted with this lovely scene in the back yard in the morning. We went into the city today and while I browsed around Rideau Centre and Chapters Andrea bought some suitably sombre attire. I discovered Ride... -
Snowfall
January 8, 2018. Quiet day today spend watching the snow fall outside and coding gRSShopper. http://ift.tt/2FrESfT -
Tesla
January 7, 2017. Another day disrupted by the events of yesterday, though we did have a nice dinner with family this evening. I had to run out for an errand this afternoon and noticed these Tesla charging stations under constriction at the Metro. Nice.... -
Looking Skyward
January 6, 2017. This is the ceiling of my bedroom. I look up and see images of dogs in the knots (can you see Snoopy in the lower left?). Today we received some terrible news and I didn't do or think much of anything else for the rest of the day. http... -
Papa
January 5, 2018. I was in Gatineau for the day today working with the people at CSPS on the business intelligence project (it was my introduction to using IBM Cognos). I spotted this on the way home. According to Google Maps it's called Papa. I quite l... -
Dentist (Part 2)
January 4, 2018. It was back to the dentist today to get my tooth repaired (and I think this is the first time in my life I've had dental appointments on consecutive days). The main result after was a sore stomach, so I had a burger and poutine at the ... -
Dentist
January 3, 2017. This was my regularly scheduled hygene appointment, but with an added bonus: I got to tell them how I'd broken a tooth over the weekend. Other than dentistry - some coding, some meetings. Still bitterly cold. http://ift.tt/2AB7MGL -
New Dawn
January 1, 2018. The sun rises behind the trees in the back yard. Today was a quiet day, bitterly cold and thus spent indoors coding the new gRSShopper editor. http://ift.tt/2lZV9jB -
Back to Work
January 2, 2018. It's back to work after far too short a vacation. The plants are a little worse for wear due to the lack of watering (though there are developments in the window plant I will cover later). http://ift.tt/2CEmWAn -
Moon
December 31, 2017. The last day of the year has come and gone, and I spent another pleasant day writing code. Other people paint, cook, do metalwork - I code. Next year: same as the last. Here's to photo-a-day 2018. http://ift.tt/2DGCPTN -
Polly
December 30, 2017. I had a fun day coding, so fun I forgot to take a photo. So this is a late evening photo of Polly in the bedroom. The colour is off because the light is tinted a dark yellow. http://ift.tt/2lrcQJc -

Ice Cold
December 29, 2017. It was -20 or so today, so cold that even the Sun looks cold. This is Andrea dropping off the candies she made at my parents place. Sadly they weren't home so they'll have to thaw them before they eat them. No problem, though; the ca... -
Cattle Castle
December 28, 2017. Today this building is known as the Aberdeen Pavilion, but for my entire time at Lansdowne Park it was known as the Cattle Castle, and that's how I think of it. This is the view from the movie theatre where we went to see Star Wars. ... -
Weed
December 27, 2017. Quiet day today. Did some coding on the gRSShopper editor. Why? Becuse it's fun. This is a weed I can see from the bathroom window. I've watched this weed grow up, flower and die in the snow. Circle of life. http://ift.tt/2pOrQWk -
Nightstand
December 26, 2017. Beside my bed. Some cold medicine, because I'm still under the weather. Green gel for dry skin. Tim's mug for evening decaf. Light. Wood stand contains my CPap. Not shown is my mobile phone charger. http://ift.tt/2E2sLp9 -
A Family Christmas
December 25, 2017. One of the nice things about being back in the Ottawa region is being able to enjoy Christmas with family. So too again this year where we had a quiet, comfortable and warm holiday. http://ift.tt/2BER4rC -
Alex on the Carpet
December 24, 2017. The first day of some relief from my sore throat, which cheered me up a lot. I spent the day working on gRSShopper forms. This is Alex at supper time watching my every move as I eat. http://ift.tt/2C81TpE -
Centred
December 22, 2017. Day three of my miserable sore throat with no end in sight. Still puttering on the computer. This is the new pottery I bought at the craft show a few days ago. I did not place the sprig of broccoli in the centre, that's where it ende... -
Screened
December 22, 2017. Still struggling with a miserable sore throat. Strepsils and NeoCitran to the rescue. This is the view from my home office window. Snow. Cold. Bleah. Spent the day investigating Javascript frameworks. http://ift.tt/2pCY1Yr -
That’s a Wrap
December 21, 2017. One last look at the office for 2017, where I finished up by completing timesheets and updating code. And also dealing with a nasty sore throat that felt like I had swallowed gravel when I woke up this morning. http://ift.tt/2DRCKgV -
False Sunset
December 20, 2017. The sun set today at 4:20 pm. This is after that. It's a 'false sunset' - an image of the sun that appears because of a refraction of the sun in ice crystals in the air. This tells me that tomorrow will be colder. It will also be the... -

Pall
December 18, 2017. This is the office as I left this evening (I work in the building on the left). Today I spent the day finishing my analysis of CSPS documentation, looking for entities and properties being used to describe their work and its outcomes...
