More March Snow
March 14, 2018. I had to take the back roads into the office today because the highway was clogged; this is a scene from those back roads. I had a couple of interviews for my project. https://flic.kr/p/25bxtap

Jellybeans
March 12, 2018. So tired today. And the Jays lost. I hate time changes. https://flic.kr/p/245kUvW -
Keyboard
March 11, 2018. I finished my blockchain module today and uploaded the code to GitHub. I also wrote a quick article describing what I learned doing this. From where I sit, doing this was much better than any course would have been, and I got an in-dept... -
Our North Star
March 10, 2018. When we moved into the house a few years ago it was empty except for this star at the highest point in the centre of the house. We left it as it is. I like it but I never really knew what it was. I still don't - but now after taking thi... -
Snow in March
March 7, 2018. It was snowing and the highway was pretty bad so I took Anderson and stopped briefly to take this quick photo in Mer Bleu. Another typical quiet day today - a little coding, a little writing. https://flic.kr/p/FmkQY8 -
County Road
March 8, 2018. Stopped for gas on the way home taking exit 79 instead of the usual exit 66. I like driving along the country road sometimes (I've measured and the time difference is less than a minute), Another quiet day though I did enjoy listening to... -

Croquantes
March 5, 2018. There's a lot to ponder about in this display of granola bars at Costco. Why is one in English? Why is one skinnier than the rest? Who thought of a design that overlaps stacked boxes? My visit to Costco followed a day of working on JSON ... -

Sunset and Wires
March 4, 2018. Another day working on the gRSShopper harvester, and I actually uploaded some code to github as the stand-alone improvements were worth sharing. This is the view from the front door in the evening, more of an orange glow than a sunset. h... -
Light
March 3, 2018. I spent the day working on the harvester. There's not a lot of progress to show for a full day's work, but it looks nicer. I encountered some very tricky problems that turned out to be a lot of fun to solve. Good thing, because some of t... -
Tree
March 2, 2018. Another typical day in the office today. A lot of work; no tangible results. On the way home in the evening light, as you can see from this photo of a tree. https://flic.kr/p/23Kkt6G -
South Nation River
February 28, 2018. Some meetings, some coding and some writing, all in all a pretty average day. It's still light when I get home now. Almost light. This was the scene at the river here in Casselman. https://flic.kr/p/F9pJNB -
The Side of a House
March 1, 2018. Another typical day, just like yesterday. This is a view outside the car window as I waited at the stop light on Blair Road at Ogilvie. Still waiting for the green. Trying not to be fooled by the record high temperatures into believing t... -
Online Meeting
February 27, 2018. I was to give a presentation to the group today, so I set up xSplit to feed into the Jabber client so I could show slides and stuff. The setup worked perfectly (I did a test recording) but the presentation was postponed for two weeks... -
Greenbelt
February 26, 2018. The highway was backed up so I found myself on Innes Road on the way in to the office. This is the view from Innes Road, which was also backed up (but not as badly as the highway). The Greenbelt isn't exactly green yet, but there are... -
Kingston
February 24, 2018. These logs are beside the car pool parking lot at an exit on the 417 near Kingston. I had a better photo but it was out of focus, so this backup photo takes the day. We were stopped there so I could coax the MLB app into running agai... -
Vaughn
February 21, 2018. Drove all day and arrived in Vaughn, Ontario, north and west of Toronto. This is the lovely view outside the hotel room window. I'm here for the Canada Moodle Moot conference. https://flic.kr/p/23hwsfe -
Spoon Frog
February 23, 2018. This lovely spoon is a speaker's gift presented to me after my talk at the Moodle Moot. The talk went pretty well, I thought, and I enjoyed the discussion with the panelists after (something that more keynote talks could benefit from... -
York University
February 22, 2018. I attended the first day of the Moodle Moot conference today, watching Martin Dougiamas and David Porter (by video), among others. This is a shot from the mall attached to the student building, hidden up near the ceiling. It reminded... -
Parliament in the Mist
February 20, 2018. One thing I like about Ottawa is driving by the Parliament Buildings just in the course of an everyday day. Here I'm driving over the Alexandra Bridge after a workshop in Gatineau and traffic was slow enough (ie., stopped) to allow m... -

Costco
February 18, 2018. After a quick trip to Costco I spent the day coding and listening to the new Brandi Carlile album. This is our local Costco. https://flic.kr/p/2379b6V -
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 -
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
