The Weekend

I was out at Waves Coffee until around 2:10am last night, which was an interesting experience unto itself. The first question I have is for all you ladies — how come the majority of you are dating dipshits? Pretty much every girl that walked in last night had some idiot guy attached [...]

Centos Repositories

I set up a Linux box at home a while ago, mainly so that I’d have a stable place to run my blog. To that end, I installed Centos on it, which is an enterprise grade version of Linux (many hosting companies use it).
The one downside to using Centos is that most of the [...]

New Wordpress

Wordpress 2.5.1 came out today. Wordpress 2.5 was actually a bit buggy (IMO), so I’m happy to incorporate this new release. I was for some reason still running a 2.6 beta version, and now I’m officially back on the stable line. If you’re a Wordpress user, you might want to download it [...]

Feedburner Messing Up

I accidentally stumbled onto my own feed in Google reader today and noticed some photos I actually didn’t take. For whatever reasons, it seems like feed burner is not filtering the content based on my user account at Flickr, but instead is including public photos tagged “feedburner”, something it never used to do.

A Medical Update

After originally being denied access to see the specialist, St. Paul’s contacted me the other day and said they could fit me in this morning. So I went down to the hospital and went over my last test results and had a chance to talk to the doctor.
The good news is that my test [...]

Juno Awards After Party

I found a bunch more videos from the Junos. After the Gala on the Saturday night, a few of us headed to some after party. Here’s a shot from the Jam Room upstairs in the VIP room.

Score A Big Zero For Canadian Medical

Here comes another rant:
As most of you know, back in November I was in the hospital with pneumonia. While there, I picked up a hospital acquired infection known as c. diff. It’s unfortunately rather common these days mainly due to the lack of cleanliness in hospitals (and also due to the abuse [...]

The Case Of The Disappearing Hard Drive

Ever since I upgraded to Leopard a few months ago, I’ve been plagued with disk space issues on my Macbook Pro. Normally, when shooting photographs, you use your hard drive as permanent storage and your compact flash cards as temporary storage. I had so little space on my hard drive during the [...]

Waking Up At Noon

Yes, today I briefly debated getting out of my bed at around nine, but decided sleeping in until noon was a better idea. I’ve had this recurring dream for the last few years that always feels so real. In it, someone (usually my friend Jeff) tells me about some university exam that [...]
