    June 8, 2024. Here I am taking a selfie in my new suit jacket. One of the objectives of the trip was just this, because I can't get the right fit in North America (all my suit jackets have been of European origin (Nottingham, Glasgow...) but I keep lo...

    May 28, 2024. View of Montreal from our hotel room at the SENS downtown. Caught the train home this morning. Anyhow, yesterday I attended the wrong conference in the morning, and they asked me to participate as a speaker today, which I did - but from ...

    May 19, 2024
    May 14, 2024. This is not a sink. That said, it's not clear what it is. It's located in the Thai Express near where I work and where I had lunch today, on the counter where we empty our garbage and stack our trays. It serves no purpose other than to n...

    May 10, 2024. More apple blossoms, these near the place where I had lunch by the Costco. Another office day today; I was able to work on a neat idea I've been puttering with, a convergent discussion list. I'm doing it all in Javascript, which is a cha...

    May 4, 2024. This is Julia in her little 'cave' on the shelf behind my chair in the kitchen. It's a nice safe place for her and she can be close by and yet feel protected. A rainy Saturday; I stayed in, got a little work done, and tried to relax. Just...
