OSS Presentation I blogged previously that I was creating a presentation on OSS. Since then, for various reasons, the direction of the presentation has changed. It has become more focused (a good thing), but I’m still looking for input. The new focus will be on Open Source in Vancouver. (Incidentally, that’s also the title. :P)… Continue reading Open Source Software (OSS) part2

Tofino Fishing, Link Dump
Tofino Alright, so I’ve returned from my fishing trip. Actually, I returned like a week ago. ^_^ I went to Tofino with my Dad, his girlfriend, and my brother. I caught the biggest fish both of the trip (my dad hooked it, I reeled it in), and of my life: a 22.5 pound Spring Salmon.… Continue reading Tofino Fishing, Link Dump
Gone Fishing…
Finished my condensed summer course (math) and I’ve gone fishing for the weekend. Whoooo.. Enjoy your weekend, like I will. 🙂
Import Photos Script
I used to use a script to copy my files from my digital camera memory card to my computer. Since recent Ubuntu releases use gnome-volume-manager to automatically prompt you with a Photo Import dialog when you insert your memory card, I never bothered using my script. If it was just a memory card over USB… Continue reading Import Photos Script
Open Source Software (OSS) part1
So I’ve been doing some research on OSS. I’m trying to prepare a presentation on the topic. Originally, I was planning on doing “Open Source Development” (ridiculously ironic considering the amount of OSS development I do…) but before I get into that, I wanted to be clear on what “Open Source” actually was. I’ve had… Continue reading Open Source Software (OSS) part1
Whoo, Look at our crazy bird soar!
Loonie VS US$, last 5 years Loonie VS JPN?(Yen), last 5 years Related Man, I should make an effort to read the news or something, more often. The highest I remember hearing the CDN dollar at, in recent years, has been about $0.80 US. I had NO idea it was above $0.90 US! Holy crap…… Continue reading Whoo, Look at our crazy bird soar!
Spicy Shrimp “Kebabs”
Okay. Apparently, my last blog post was in March. If that’s true, … well, that can’t possibly be true. Let’s just forget about that. I finished my 8-month internship, last Friday, and have now returned to school. yay for me. Actually, I’m only taking one course for the first term, so it should be pretty… Continue reading Spicy Shrimp “Kebabs”
I want to make ramen
My Laptop! Got my laptop back, on Thursday. Amazing, it was almost exactly 2 weeks after I dropped it off that they called and said I could pick it up – exactly what they predicted. Turns out the PCMCIA was just loose, so they just fit it back into place and everything works again. New… Continue reading I want to make ramen
jibber jabber
First, some links: Japan Comic (good for people that have been) Oh, Penny Arcade, thou art funny. (Scared gamers making “the switch”) JS Debugger Venkman for Firefox 1.5 (normally has dependency issues for modern versions) Made a small change to my blog. You now have to answer an incredibly difficult skill testing question when making… Continue reading jibber jabber
Honey Nut Cheerios + Coffee @ 11:30pm = dinner
So I went to Futureshop after work, today, to send my laptop off to get serviced (again). My first service experience with them wasn’t very great: they took a super long time when filling out the papers; the salesman wasn’t really friendly; and after the 6 weeks they quoted had passed, I got no phone… Continue reading Honey Nut Cheerios + Coffee @ 11:30pm = dinner
