Holy, Months

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Arthur

Holy moly, I’ve not updated since last year? Preposterous! Might just as well give it ago: The worst part of 2013’s last days was the rainstorm annex ice storm that hit parts of Ontario and NB: In our region, I … Continue reading →

SF and other unrelated news

Posted on September 8, 2013 by Arthur

After having not used Sourceforge for over 10 years, I’ve decided to move some of my sources back to Sourceforge. The main reason for that is that SF still allows devs to distribute binaries as part of their projects. Google … Continue reading →

Greenpeace and other stuff

Posted on August 4, 2013 by Arthur

I was sort of impressed with Amy Larkin’s “Environmental Debt” presentation at GoogleTalk. I’m saying “sort of”, only because, what she’s saying is not exactly new. She urges companies to switch from short term profit to ‘long term profit and … Continue reading →

Activities in Linux

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Arthur

Now that I’ve finally moved on to bigger hardware, I can officially retire my 2008 DV-5 1157-CA (this link doesn’t exist anymore). It has served me well, while costing me two harddrives, because, well, it obviously lost one fan at … Continue reading →

A beach runs here

Posted on September 30, 2012 by Arthur

Summer’s been over now 10 or so days and looking outside, it feels like Fall (or Autumn) snapped in here before we could even think of typical Fall things, like seeing the leafs colour and/or raking them up. I believe … Continue reading →

Summer respite and yards

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Arthur

We seem to be slightly going back to normal temperatures here in SJ: that is, cooler temperatures particularly in the morning. You might say that this Summer was one of the warmest: Even Accuweather seems to be suggesting the very … Continue reading →

This is cat.

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Arthur

When our oldest cat passed away, there was generally no doubt that we’d get a new one to accompany our other cat, Puffy (right here!). To be frank: Puffy the black cat is just not photogenic. Kitty (“Katherine”) was, Puffy … Continue reading →

When Imoved to Canada and married my wife almost 12 years ago, I automatically begot two pets, Katy the wonderdog and Peanut (nee Kitty). We lost Katy 2 years or so ago (previously). Last Wednesday we put down Peanut: for … Continue reading →

Murdering the classics

Posted on March 18, 2012 by Arthur

I‘ve mentioned Yo La Tengo before on xsamplex (right here); as part of my ‘Past The Bridge’ series, I (slightly) proclaimed my likeness for the NJ based band. If you’ve been on the Internet, you are probably aware of the … Continue reading →

Winter 2012

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Arthur

On the personal side: This month the weather has been really wet and mild. The weather has been hovering around the -5 to +7 degrees. I recall we only had 2 or 3 days really cold weather (-19s). Additionally, we … Continue reading →

20/11 hindsight

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Arthur

The main event that marked 2011 was most likely the Japanese tsunami back in March, which triggered that nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant. I mentioned the disasters in a posting on March 20th (here), where I mainly focused … Continue reading →

More of December and the same

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Arthur

I‘ve been mostly reading books these days: The Iconia I bought for my birthday (review) is the ideal reading device. Well, mind the glare then: I’m sure that future devices will have touchscreens sans gloss. What’s the point of having … Continue reading →
