Finally got the pictures downloaded off the camera (trick was to tell the new version of digikam to detect the camera all over again). Mostly it's shots from our trek through the wetlands out to the lake. There's a couple of nice shots here and there IMO.

To answer the obvious questions: yes, Shademan did ...

Sandpaper wisker memories
Pull me back to days half-remembered
When the man I've become was my father
And my father was with me
Giving simple, bear-hug love
With sandpaper wiskers

(Tim restored the blog from backup (Thanks Tim) and I've just manually copied over the last 3 posts.)

Past two days have been uneventful. I work all day and then pound on the stupid hardware configuration trying to get the nVidia card to work or the (now karked) PVR configuration restored. I wake up early ...

Apparently the "moderate trackbacks" setting in CoreBlog doesn't do anything. I just turned on the trackback history box and discovered hundreds of trackback spams have been added. So, I started plowing through the articles deleting the trackbacks...

But they didn't disappear from the recent trackback listing. So I re-indexed the whole blog. And they still ...

The visit with Shiva and Shademan was wonderful. Their new place is quite nice, backing onto one (1/2 block) park, with a much larger park about a 3 minute walk away. Good food, good conversations, good friends. I even picked up the new weights (barbells) I've been needing to buy for the last year or ...

I've been needing to put together a personal business card for a good long while. Just something I can hand out when people want to know who I am for personal, rather than VexTech or Cinemon reasons. My original plan was to go for just "vrplumber.com" in black on white, but somewhere along the way ...

I like meetings (I'm a people junkie), but they leave me with this nagging little voice that tells me I need to make up for the time spent in them. So I wind up working a full day after the meeting, which turns the day into a long grind.

Anyway, we're finally getting a permanent ...

Very pleasant evening. Unfortunately I was an hour off in my estimate of when we'd eat, so the main course was rather overcooked (ick, peppers do not survive overcooking well). As a group started playing poker in the living room I retired to the break out room (aka my bedroom) with a couple of the ...

Rosey wound up inviting another 4 or 5 people to the little dinner I was planning on holding. That pretty much turns it into a party, rather than a quiet evening in. Luckily I like parties :) .

However, it probably means no work done on OpenGL-ctypes this evening. I've been documenting modules for the ...

I know, I know, not another post pointing to a blog entry, but I will keep in short. I read this little entry rather quickly yesterday and thought "oh, cool, Stacey is playing at the Danforth music festival all weekend". So, when I had work to do that pushed me past 6:00pm I didn't ...
