Uh. Yeah.

Posted on December 22, 2008 by Arthur

I, Recurse

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Arthur

So, yeah: I was sitting at work and the snow starts falling down in the morning and before I know it, it’s chaos in town. On my way to King’s Square, I was most of the time sliding around or … Continue reading →

Oh: hello, what’s your name, again?

Posted on December 12, 2008 by Arthur

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but walking in a town far away from the place I lived for almost 30 years, I keep thinking I recognize faces of people who I knew and who I’m 100 percent certain of … Continue reading →

Fluctuating

Posted on December 11, 2008 by Arthur

I was complaining the other day to Alfons about the weather: or rather, I think he sent me a screenshot of the long term weather forecast for this area, dryly asking ‘if I thought the temperature was fluctuating’ and ‘how … Continue reading →

Prints

Posted on November 22, 2008 by Arthur

We had the first snowstorm of the year, and from what I gather, it (was and) will be a lot worse in Nova Scotia, so why should I complain about our 15 or so centimeters? I mean, I dug out … Continue reading →

Panchromatically

Posted on November 1, 2008 by Arthur

Earlier I upgraded to Kubuntu 8.10, which took (with my connection) approximately 2 hours to download and another couple for actually installing the whole thing. Since I have both KDE and Gnome installed side by side, I ended up with … Continue reading →

Only. Assorted.

Posted on October 3, 2008 by Arthur

Assorted links I was thinking about this week: I read that Cunard’s “Queen Elizabeth 2” is officially retiring: in a couple of months the ship sails for her last destination, Dubai, to become a state of the art ‘floating hotel’. … Continue reading →

Jump. Dammit. Jump.

Posted on September 21, 2008 by Arthur

T here’s nothing cuter than young kittens, except for when they discover they can feast on wires, cables and other typical loose things and stuff hanging out from computers and other hardware. Also, dog food, because, apparently, you can bat … Continue reading →

Point

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Arthur

Yesterday, leftovers from Hanna flew past the Maritimes, dumping a whole bunch of rain for almost a whole day: This lead to some troublesome driving Sunday and Monday morning (CBC). Generally, this year the weather hasn’t cooperated a lot: according … Continue reading →

Morething

Posted on September 6, 2008 by Arthur

Earlier, we were out in Saint John to check out a couple things for things that needed to be done for things in the house-thing. You know, things. So while we were trotting through town, we were surprised how thick … Continue reading →

Span

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Arthur

We had a (brief) reunion earlier this week: Alfons joined us last weekend and left (surprisingly) a day earlier than we all expected: there was a slight misunderstanding in his flight schedule. Luckily, the airport isn’t too far of a … Continue reading →

From Thunder back to Sun

Posted on July 24, 2008 by Arthur

Today’s weather was as abnormal as it could be: Weather Canada had issued a weather warning for the region around Saint John, forecasting thunderstorms, heavy rain, windgusts and hailstones as big as 2 cms. We didn’t get the stones, but … Continue reading →

Go version-control yourself.

Posted on July 18, 2008 by Arthur

So, I was going to give a rant about the painful upgrade to WordPress 2.6, but I’ll leave it at that. Wait. Version control has been added to WordPress, which means that you can finally revert to your previous 42-word … Continue reading →
