I’m in Mumbai for a few days for work. It’s… um… interesting and more than a bit overwhelming. I recently read some comments on visiting Thailand, that it was too bad everyone’s first experience had to be Bangkok: a big, busy city in a very different country. I’ve never been to Thailand but it seems…

Pictures of walls
Many of these are neat.
Want a film camera?
OK, my friends list gets first dibs, then it goes to Montreal Freecycle if necessary. Both the camera and lens have seen a fair bit of abuse and I wouldn’t feel comfortable selling them because of that, but they work. Camera This is my old Nikon F-601 35mm SLR. I’ve used it only rarely since…
D-Link DWL-G730AP Product Review
It was not `1337. It deserved D34TH. I’m running Ethernet to this room tomorrow.
I’ve spent the last 2 days on site at a pharmaceutical company in Molndal, Sweden. I now realize if I die I should try and be reincarnated as a research chemist. Reasons in no particular order: Really good facilities. You’ve probably seen cosmetic/drug ads on TV that show bright, spotless labs filled with gleaming equipment…
Connection
“My Internet is down.” Something about this makes me want to cringe, apart from the prospect of having to go fix it. Skud once pointed this out in her excellent faq.. The missing word, of course, is connection. “My Internet connection is down.” Thank you, that is all.
I just celebrated Xbox 360 day by getting a PlayStation 2. I didn’t plan it that way, but I decided a few weeks ago to get one and Liam had a dead one, so I ordered a new motherboard. It arrived yesterday (Monday) and I just got the thing working a few minutes after midnight….
xscreensaver-command –boring
This morning when I walked up to my PC it was running xscreensaver as usual. It was showing “phosphor” so I stopped to read the text.. which was several paragraphs about choosing the right kind of printer. Note to whoever: nobody cares if you buy an inkjet or laser. Your good friends may pretend to…
Dear New York, nice city, but must you rain all the time? love, Jody
Utilities, by John K. Samson
I’m not sure where I first heard this, but the first time I remember hearing it was when John K. Samson played it during a solo act at The Black Sheep Inn. He played it again tonight with the rest of the band, and I figured I should transcribe the lyrics. The only place I…
Best ex-landlord letter ever…
Bunny Suicides. I think the best part about these is how many there are.
This has been around for over 4 years but I haven’t seen it before (and I used to read slashdot back then.) 3D renderings of function/variable dependencies in the Linux kernel. The neat stuff are the mpegs of the evolution of the kernel over time – you can actually see bloat happening. Too bad he…

Thursday was Sangria, last night was beer, tonight I suppose I need to drink Cacaça or something. Last night after a late supper, I ended up finding an Irish pub of all places and drank Guinness to wash out the evil taste of the Spanish beer I had earlier. This place is certainly no Germany….
That last entry was intended for , which I’m keeping separate from my main blog. I’m currently touring Europe by bike/train. Yay.
