So, I totally thought that I’d written a blog posting about this before, but apparently not. Sometimes I compose blog postings in my brain when I’m not in a position to write stuff down and then forget that I never actually wrote them down ((I’m *still* waiting for that mind reading app!)). Clearly, this is one […]
So I finally got bored enough of my old blog design (or “theme” as WordPress is wont to call it) and so I got off my butt to choose a new one. After eleventy billion hours of searching through themes, I finally settled on “Designfolio“. I like the look of it, but there’s one nagging […]
So the other day a colleague of mine was using MS Paint on his computer at work ((Don’t make fun. It’s the only image editing software we have access to!)) and attempted to close the program, which should be a relatively simple task: However, he got an error message message when he tried to exit: […]
For the next week, I’m going to be curating the @PeopleofCanada Twitter account! From the @PeopleofCanada Tumblr blog: About A rotating crew of Canadians sharing their lives in with Canada and the world. We hope to represent Canadians, no matter where they live or whatever identities they may hold. Whether you’re a plumber, journalist, movie […]
Apparently January is the month for me to buy all the things! In addition to buying two living creatures, I bought a bunch of electronics ((Incidentally, the living creatures were much less expensive than the gadgets.)). You may recall that I recently bought a 13″ Macbook Pro because the 15″ one cost $1,000 more than […]
I joined Instagram in April 2011 and have posted a grand total of 4 pictures to it so far, including the one that I posted just now to take a screen shot of this for this blog posting. I just don’t get the point. I put all my photos on Flickr and if I want […]
It’s been a while since I shared my favourite tweets with you, so I took these screen shots. Going through my favourites, I noticed that a fair number of these are my own. In my defence, it’s not just my arrogance that resulted in this, but also that I haven’t had a lot of time […]
I get a lot of bac’n email, as I’m sure most people do. For the uninitiated, bac’n is sort of like spam, in that it’s email you probably don’t really want to read (or don’t want to read right away), but it’s not exactly spam because it’s stuff that you signed up for. Stuff like […]
I’ve just realized that I have 80 (!) draft blog postings in my appropriately named “Drafts” folder ((Apparently I’m a digital pack rat in addition to being a pack rat in real life.)). Some are partially written, some are just a title to remind me to blog about something. Since I’m looking for ideas for […]
Why is it that every time an online service tries to make an “improvement”, they make their service worse? Case in point: Flickr. I’ve used Flickr for years store my photos and then use their handy dandy embed code to embed photos here on my blog. In fact, Flickr is one of the few online […]
