Last week ended on a strange combination of joy and pain. Joy from having my company Christmas party and getting off early for the weekend. It was pretty good. There were a few hundred of us at the Hilton. We had Turkey (with all the regular fixins), some white fish in a creamy sauce, and… Continue reading joy and pain

During the last month…
It’s been a while since I’ve actually blogged anything. Like Jon observed, you get used to a routine, and if blogging isn’t part of it, it’s just not gonna happen. I’m less likely to spend time on the computer when I get home from working with a computer all day. Been spending more time with… Continue reading During the last month…
hello blog
To say I’ve been lazy recently may not be entirely correct. I have, however, put off doing lots of things; blogging is one of them. So I’ve got a bit to catch up on. I’m gonna try and make it fairly brief, as I want to go to sleep soon. back in north van First… Continue reading hello blog
Finally…
Got my tablet sorta-working in Linux. A quick sketch, over a photo. I also finally got hugin installed on Gentoo! Hello wonderful world of panoramas! (Note: each ~2MB) To create this panorama, I used 5 photos I had taken when I was at Granville Island, a long time ago, followed this tutorial, and used the… Continue reading Finally…
iZM_Blue_2
Made another Gaim Guifications theme! 😀 I like this one better my previous one. Get the file: [tar.gz | zip] Installation Just extract the archive downloaded above to the Guifications Themes directory: Linux: ~/.gaim/guifications/themes/ Windows: C:\Program Files\Gaim\pixmaps\gaim\guifications\themes\ Then, in Gaim’s Preferences dialogue, go to Gaim->Plugins->Guifications->Themes and tick the Loaded check box in to enable theme.… Continue reading iZM_Blue_2
Spring Cleaning
I usually stuff random things in notes (using TomBoy) that I think might be interesting to blog about. Usually they build up and eventually get trashed – few see the bloggish light at the end of the tunnel. Except for today. Random Links: Viewing fan films! Crazy violent flash animation that will slow down your… Continue reading Spring Cleaning
Updates
Well, I eventually got tired of my blog looking almost identical to all other WordPress 1.5 blogs, so I updated it with a new header image! W00p! I spent a ridiculous amount of time screwing around with the Gimp to finally end up with that. All photo content stolen from my diving trip in Japan.… Continue reading Updates
iZM_Blue
I recently stumbled upon Guifications , a notification plug-in for Gaim. Even more recently, I discovered it has a built in theme editor!… so I made a theme. 🙂 It’s called iZM_Blue, because I was feeling creative. It’s simple, clean, and most importantly, blue. I based it off the default theme to have existing support… Continue reading iZM_Blue
Open Office VS Abiword
Okay, it’s more like OOwriter VS Abiword… This is a fairly accurate description of my usual document creation process: Round 1, FIGHT! open Abiword, cuz it’s a lean, mean documenting machine. start writing my document, saving in abw (Abiword native format) eventually, require a feature that Abiword does not support (more control of embedded images,… Continue reading Open Office VS Abiword
Zaurus Sketches
I’m alive, and I thought I’d better make a quick post to prove it. Actually, I think my disease has finally dissipated. I’ve done a few geeky things which I will blog about later, most likely. But for now, here’s the grand total of four sketches I’ve created on my Zaurus with either the default… Continue reading Zaurus Sketches
