    Skeptical

    by
    March 22, 2017. I'm trying to convince Alex that the new fish will be just as good as the old, but he's just not buying it. Nice quiet day, Jays win, and I got some coding done and some bills aid.

    Pine Cones

    by
    March 21, 2017. It's still winter so I thought I'd photograph some pine cones. Quiet day - worked on a report, one meeting, and on AWS stuff. And listened to the ball game this afternoon.

    The Office

    by
    March 20, 2017. Another photo of the office building where I work, known more formally as building M-50. I'm on the third floor, right in the middle. I spent the day in that office yesterday working on AWS, Vagrant and Docker stuff.

    In the Sink

    by
    March 16, 2017. Lexi in the sink, one of her fvourite places. Jet lagged today. I know it's only a one-hour difference, but it was high-stress, and there was a time change to boot.

    Events Centre

    by
    March 15, 2017. This is Moncton's new events centre, still under construction. It was the big news the last few years in the city. Now the house is sold nd we're gone and we don't get to enjoy it. No regrets.

    Notary

    by
    March 13, 2017. We visited the notary not once but twice today, both times going through this building lobby that did not instill a feeling of confidence.

    The Hockey Game

    by
    March 10, 2017. The Syracuse Crunch played host to the Springfield Thunderbirds and came out (quite deservedly) at the short end of a 3-2 score. Good game.

    Syracuse

    by
    March 8, 2017. Syracuse downtown. This is the first day of the conference, and this picture reminded me of the concept of 'open' in its truest sense - musical instruments waiting to be played by anyone, any time.

    Sackett’s Harbour

    by
    March 7, 2017. Drove from Casselman to Syracuse, stopping part way to enjoy this view at the War of 1812 historical site of Sackett's Harbour. It seemed to me to be a really nice place and I wish I could have lingered, but it was also cold and windy.

    The Torrent

    by
    February 4, 2017. This is the view outside the conference venue in Richcraft Hall at Carleton University where I attended the #Visions2042 event. I missed Friday but Saturday was well worth the time, and I got to feel like an academic for the day.

    Fog

    by
    March 1, 2017. Late afternoon fog on a warm day as the school bus drives by in front of the hose. Spent the day working on AWS configuration, again. Each day I get a little bit better.

    Hood

    by
    February 28, 2017. This is the hood in our kitchen, taken at the very end of the day. Worked mostly on reducing backed up email and downloading my course videos - bandwidth in the office is getting very poor, to the poiint of being almost unusable.

    Lexi in Soft Focus

    by
    February 26, 2017. I pulled out the old FX 'tourist lens' to capture this low light image of Lexi playing with string. Watched a ball game, worked out on the bike, got rid of Postlayer, worked with virtualization, frittered the day away.

    Transparent Coin

    by
    February 25, 2017. I saw this effect on Imgur and wanted to try it for myself. I thought it worked quite well. Today was mostly spent doing errands and listening to the first ball game of the year.
