While I was in Boston last week I took advantage of the relative strength of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar to purchase a pretty large set of stuff. I made a 32 item order from Amazon, which I had delivered to a friend’s house, and I suspect the savings of doing this were [...]
Well, that was a waste of time.
Oh, and irony. (Of course there was already irony and detailed irony.)
I’ve been messing around with some software to do image stitching, for the purposes of creating panoramic images from a series of simple digital snaps.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but tonight was the first time I’ve had a moment in several weeks.
So, here’s my first test image: a view of [...]
So, if you are the sort of person who has a fair bit of interaction with the shady computer underworld–you know where to find a download of anything, or a way to find a crack or a serial number for anything, etc, it is almost unavoidable that at some point you’re going to step into [...]

Although I will honestly be severely shocked if we don’t lose power–even though the storm appears to have shifted slightly westward, meaning we might only get 100km/h winds (what [...]
I have been in a very black mood since midday Friday, and this is the last thing I need:
