short term past/present/future

Gatherings Had a nice get-together with the gifu-crew, on Sunday. Chinese-Taiwanese-Japanese fusion hot-pot shabu shabu. 😮 The pot was courtesy of Shirley (thanks!), despite her not being able to make it. Unfortunately, I don’t think there were are any pictures captured in the digital medium to show. But it was good times! Ubuntu Feisty My… Continue reading short term past/present/future

holy crap, I have a blog!

Ah right. Forgot about this. Okay fine, I knowingly neglected it. Not completely, though… I had a partially written post from a few months ago, but it never made the transition from Tomboy to WP. Things to report: First thing’s first. January has come and gone (along with a few other months…): me.age++; I got… Continue reading holy crap, I have a blog!

Snowboarding

Finally went snowboarding this year! Needless to say, it was awesome. I’ve never been to Grouse Mountain before so I was quite impressed with the view when coming down “The Cut.” Especially as the sky cleared up and the lights of Vancouver started to light up in the evening. Sunsets may be a cliché, but… Continue reading Snowboarding

After many hours of playing…

I finished Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii), the other day. After beating the game and watching the ending cinematics, I thought about the overall experience.

I’m still alive

But my laptop is not. Well, the battery is not, anyway. I can basically only put it into suspend and resume it somewhere, without any use in between. Example: I was on the bus, and I “resumed” a suspended session from my laptop. I already had a pdf open, and I wanted to search for… Continue reading I’m still alive

Wares, they cometh

Some very cool stuff in the wonderful world of software(tm): Flash 9 beta for Linux (finally!) OMG OMG OMG – so much better.  faster.  no (or way fewer) sound issues.  GTK standalone player available, as well.  Now I don’t have to cringe when I receive a link to “that really cool flash site.” Gaim 2.0… Continue reading Wares, they cometh

Bitter Sweet

Yesterday, I was at a cafe with my friend, Jesse. We each bought a coffee and a cookie for our nutritional kick-start of the day (around noon, at the time). I gave my visa card to the well-endowed clerk to pay for my purchase, and she gave me the debit user-input pad saying “You have… Continue reading Bitter Sweet
