    December 16, 2017
    December 16, 2017. We went in to the EY Centre for the Christmas Craft Fair (*might not be its official name). We got some catnip toys for the cats and some pottery for me (so I can go back to having soups for supper, which I stopped doing when my last...

    December 11, 2017. After a series of eleven photographs Alex has decided he's tired of posing. This is a yawn, not a roar. But it's also indicative of the way a cat will feign boredom to disguise interest. Cats are very dishonest. Unlike dogs. http://i...

    December 12, 2017
    December 12, 2017. We're having a bit of a snow event, nothing major, but enough to slow the highways to a crawl and cause a dozen fender-benders. This is the scene on Anderson Road as I wait for traffic. http://ift.tt/2yifOTU

    December 11, 2017
    December 9, 2017. Spotted in Berlin's Tegel Airport as I waited for my early morning flight. I looked it up and the Red Baron was shot down in early 1918, so this is close to the 100 year anniversary. I flew Eurowings to Brussels and thence on Air Cana...

    December 6, 2017. Today I was completely occupied with my workshop. I'm a bit disappointed that only 9 people came to it, but it was experimental and very tech-oriented, so I'm not overly surprised. My project top install gRSShopper on a Vagrant box an...

    December 10, 2017. I woke to snow on the ground, but the geraniums are thriving, which makes me happy. I spent a quiet day reading stuff online, catching up on some email, and playing No Man's Sky. Another early night. I watched Titus's Special Unit al...

    December 4, 2017. I spent the day working on gRSShopper in a box. This was my view of Tunis outside my window this morning, which was all I saw of the city. In the end, though, I made my code work - it felt so good at the end. http://ift.tt/2BHGNLF

    November 24, 2017. This is what it looks like when I leave the office these days. I like the way the little alcove looked lit up by the light and frames by the tree - I wanted to frame it a bit differently but shooting with a phone limits your options....
