Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
I’m back home courtesy of WestJet, who did a flawless job carting me out West and back. It was bootiful out, so I raked my lawn and filled 5 of those big paper yard waste bags. The depressing part is after all of that I’m only a third of the way done. I don’t think […]
Update: I get a silly number of hits from Google on how to actually pronounce Siobhan, and have even received email asking why I don’t explain how considering the title of this post. Fair enough. It’s pronounced “shiv-awn”, like Chevonne, but with more of an “ive” sound instead of “ev”. Update 2: I also got […]
Jell-o and McQuade picked me up this aft for Jell-o’s final pint as a single man at the Ship & Anchor on 17th. Kj’s first words after getting underway from my sister’s place in the suburbs were “I have no idea how you’re getting home.”. That’s the best part about friends – you don’t really […]
Have I mentioned I’m a Leafs fan that doesn’t mind seeing the Sens win? That’s fucked up. I love the Leafs. I hate Patte Quin and how he’s turned them into a bunch of whiners. Darcy Tucker’s really over-rated, and Domi sure can’t take what he dishes out anymore. I know he’s a great community […]
Well, I’m already crazy, but you know what I mean. I’ve finished the work I had to do, which was mostly getting some last-minute instructions regarding a customer communication and an updated migration plan out the door. The next three weeks are going to be difficult, so I’ll be leaving work on the table for […]
So I’ve made my way halfway across the country, and am in Calgary to visit with friends and fambly for five days. I don’t fly domestically very often, and when I do it’s usually with Mapleflot because I’m forced by company policy to use them (I guess the monopolies figure they have to support each […]
Surprise! There will be no migration this weekend. I have made a note to substitute “no, that’s not ok” everytime the folks I’m dealing with say “ok”. They are amazing, and do great work, but I think their management has trained them too well in the “customer is always right” department. We’re not. We’re a […]
So I’ve been at this working out and getting fit thing for a while now, and it’s time to see how things are going. I started this iteration of remaking myself in August last year, and I have to admit, I have blown by any milestones I thought I’d achieve. In August, I was 234lbs […]
It’s snowing. It’s icy. Driving’s a mess. Someone up in the weather room ain’t paying attention, and I’m done with the whole “winter” thing. Knock it off already, it’s bad enough the only radio I can get has Stuntman Stu on it. Suck. Did you know that CFLAS is not nearly the same as CFLAGS […]
Holy crap, deadsquid.com is over six years old! Funny, but for some reason, it feels like 12. Cthulu – which is deadsquid.com – started off as an SGI Challenge S (it’s still around) with a 2GB drive and 256MB of memory running IRIX 5.3. It made it’s debut in Ottawa on Bell Canada’s first ADSL […]
