    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...

    February 12, 2017. Technically it's the Riverside campus of the Ottawa Hospital, but I think of it as Riverside Hospital. It was time for our annual check-up and I'm pleased to report that my blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol is good, and all th...

    February 10, 2018. I was pretty tired all day until I took an afternoon nap. This is the scene that greeted me when I woke up, Lexi on the left and Polly on the right. Woke up refreshed and did some stuff on gRSShopper in the evening. https://flic.kr/p...

    February 8, 2018
    February 8, 2018. Our local Esso station got a facelift over the last few months and now looks all shiny and new. It's where I go some time to get gas. Like today, for example, on the way home (hence the deep evening light) from an ordinary day in the ...

    February 7, 2018. I spent the day in my home office watching the snowstorm outside through this screen window while doing CSPS interviews and the tiniest bit of coding (working on the harvester again, just tweaks). https://flic.kr/p/Ev7hwp

    February 1, 2018. Sunshine, snow and the oak leaves still clinging to the trees outside M-55 at the NRC campus. Ordinary day today: drive to work, work, drive home through a snow squall. Ah, spring, why do you linger so? https://flic.kr/p/K3sF1M

    January 25, 2018. The weather only got worse on Thursday and I ended up cold and very wet after walking in the driving rain to take photos if Biarritz on the Bay of Biscay coastline. Worth it for the views, though. https://flic.kr/p/23RrzZb
