    Paper Boxes

    by
    January 23, 2021. I doubt newspapers are even being delivered to these paper boxes any more, but there was a time not so long ago they lined the roads in the countryside. I used to deliver the Ottawa Citizen (yellow box) as a kid and I've thought of my...

    The Rectory

    by
    January 22, 2021. This stately building is right next to the church in the middle of Casselman. It was the objective of my walk today when I thought it would make a nice photo all decked out in snow. I also had a data literacy meeting, caught up on my ...

    Snowshoeing

    by
    January 21, 2021. I tried out the new snowshoes today, walking about along the tracks for a little over a kilometer round trip. The snow was fresh, soft and powdery, so it was difficult as it's ever going to be. I didn't move quickly through the snow, ...

    Thriving

    by
    January 20, 2021. This is the plant from my office. Not my Ottawa office - I assume those are all dead by now. No, this is from my Moncton office, and so is maybe 10 years old. Now it's in my hbome office, and since I cut back all its long tendrals it ...

    Donuts

    by
    January 19, 2020. We picked up our new snowshoes today and on the way I stopped into timmies for a couple of apple fritters and a coffee. It was a good day today as I managed to get an SSL site to load automatically in a Docker container. https://flic....

    The Weight

    by
    January 18, 2021. Today was clear and blue and cold. The snow the fell over the weekend lies heavy on the trees, bending them double or twisting them into contorted shapes, like these just past the park along the tracks. I did a presentation on OBS tod...

    Aftermath

    by
    January 17, 2021. Because of the deep snow we couldn't go for a hike, so this is a scene from my short walk around town after the snowfall. On the bright side, our new snowshoes will be ready for pickup on Tuesday. My big accomplishment for the day was...

    Nation View Farm

    by
    January 14, 2021. I walked over the bridge into town and turned up this lane for a shot of the Nation View Farm. I spent a lot of time rebuilding Docker images after some of the binaries for my old image disappeared from the repository. It was one litt...

    Screaming Tree

    by
    January 13, 2020. This is another photo of the Gloucester branch of the Ottawa Public Library. I'm sure it was not intentional, but I can't help being reminded of Munch's The Scream when I look at it. Hence the title. I was on a walk while we were at t...

    The Birch Forest

    by
    January 12, 2021. My walk today took me to Du Boise St and along this birch forest. A regular work day today; I spent the morning working with CovidEA and afternoon working on a VR project and catching up for yesterday's missing newsletter. https://fli...

    Snow on the Tracks

    January 11, 2021. It was milder today but this was accompanied with a bit of a snowfall that was at times heavy during my walk. I had an internet outage but was able to do some writing this morning and coding this afternoon to preserve a reasonably pro...

    Wier

    by
    January 10, 2021. This is the wier in Casselman, with ice and snow forming around the edges. It was a cold day and it looks even colder in the water. I focused pretty much all day on gRSShopper - I have a bee in my bonnet about making the havester work...

    Moose and Monster

    by
    January 9, 2020. Spotted during my daily walk. I'm not sure whether the moose has even been on Sesame Street, but I think the monster was (Sesame Street was after my childhood viewing age). Another classic type of day: I recorded a video (Learning Next...

    Bridge Over the Nation River

    by
    January 7, 2020. This is around four p.m. - the photo is a bit darker than it was actually outside, but the sun is still undeniably setting behind the bridge. Today I learned about Javascript templates - these have existed since 2016 but I found about ...
