    Online Meeting

    by
    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

    by
    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

    by
    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...

    York University

    by
    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...

    Vaughn

    by
    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

    by
    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...

    Papa

    by
    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

    by
    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

    Ice Cold

    by
    December 29, 2017. It was -20 or so today, so cold that even the Sun looks cold. This is Andrea dropping off the candies she made at my parents place. Sadly they weren't home so they'll have to thaw them before they eat them. No problem, though; the ca...

    Cattle Castle

    by
    December 28, 2017. Today this building is known as the Aberdeen Pavilion, but for my entire time at Lansdowne Park it was known as the Cattle Castle, and that's how I think of it. This is the view from the movie theatre where we went to see Star Wars. ...

    Weed

    by
    December 27, 2017. Quiet day today. Did some coding on the gRSShopper editor. Why? Becuse it's fun. This is a weed I can see from the bathroom window. I've watched this weed grow up, flower and die in the snow. Circle of life. http://ift.tt/2pOrQWk

    Nightstand

    by
    December 26, 2017. Beside my bed. Some cold medicine, because I'm still under the weather. Green gel for dry skin. Tim's mug for evening decaf. Light. Wood stand contains my CPap. Not shown is my mobile phone charger. http://ift.tt/2E2sLp9

    Pall

    by
    December 18, 2017. This is the office as I left this evening (I work in the building on the left). Today I spent the day finishing my analysis of CSPS documentation, looking for entities and properties being used to describe their work and its outcomes...

    Sunrise

    by
    November 20, 2017. The time changed while I was flying back from China with the result that now i see the sunrise when I get up in the morning (it's also dark when I drive home). Easy Monday; got a bunch of newsletter bounces cleared off the books, cau...
