Wiped

I agree with Airdrie; Blogging every day is hard! I stayed up until the wee hours last night (5am this morning, really) working on a draft of my thesis proposal, which meant I only got 3 hours of sleep. So rather than blog anything interesting I’m going to go to bed early tonight. *yawn*

Now I remember why I use a Mac…

I reinstalled Windows XP on our home PC today after several aborted attempts yesterday. In the end, the successful solution involved creating a Win98 boot disk from an old floppy (shockingly, Dan had one in his backpack!), and retrieving an old PS/2 keyboard from the deep recesses of our storage locker the basement of our [...]

Oskee Wee Wee

Dan’s dad is visiting next weekend and he’s a big football fan so we’ve bought tickets to the BC Lions playoff game on Sunday. I haven’t been to a CFL game since I was a kid. Growing up in Hamilton I saw my fair share of Tiger Cats games, and when I was just 8 [...]
