Memory is a fickle siren’s song

We arrived in Paris on Sunday evening, and spent Monday sightseeing in the city. We hit up a number of monuments, that I will list later once I can spell them correctly. We visited a small church in Belleville where I lived for a time as a child. I remembered some parts of it, but [...]

The Shack

I read The Shack recently. For those interested, I posted thoughts on it over here.

Off to Paris… then Toronto

Maija and I and the fetus leave tomorrow for Paris. We’re quite excited. I used to live in Paris when I was a wee little lad, and have not been back since. We’ll also be going out to the Champagne region where I also lived, to visit the tiny village I spent time growing up [...]

Dangers with the iPhone

Truth be told, I kinda like the iPhone. I’ve thought about buying one. Shocking? Haha, perhaps. I don’t want to like it really, because I don’t like Apple, but it’s a nice looking/functioning product. A good package. (My thoughts on Google Chrome are similar… nice, functional, but surely fueled by an evil empire.)
Anyway, one thing [...]

it felt like Kōji Kondō was there too

Maija and I went to a wedding today, for a friend of ours who has moved to Jyvaskyla. He’s the brother of one of Maija’s best friends, so it was a special day, and a really beautiful wedding. We hope to spend more time with them once we’re back from Toronto. The ceremony was held [...]

Extending volumes in Windows Server 2003

The holy grail of volume extension must surely be the system partition. The big C.
I normally use GParted to extend partitions (including the system partition), which is a truly marvelous tool, but requires a reboot onto a bootable CD (or USB key) for the most part. I had need just now to extend a system [...]

Anniversary 3

Yesterday marked our 3 year wedding anniversary. I love my wife!
It also nearly marks the fact that we’ve been living in Finland for a year now. Crazy.
And it marks almost the halfway point to our child being released from manufacturing. Thrilling!
Life is grand.
We’re off to Paris in 2 weeks, and then Toronto for a month. [...]

New mix - Beatitudes Volume 3

I’ve finally finished laying down the next installment of my regular trance and progressive series:
Download it here.
The third installment in my Beatitudes series comes at a slight delay since the others. I’ll blame the summer, and a lazy attitude. I’ve picked another 10 beautiful tracks from the last few months, sure to keep you happy [...]

Building of the Lego minifigs

One of things I’m most looking forward to about having a baby is the unavoidable Lego, once the baby levels-up to child.
Gizmodo have yet another exclusive Lego video. I don’t recall if I posted the last one… I can’t find it here when I search. Here’s the links. Anyway, the new video is a demo [...]

5 most laughable terms of service on the internet

Do you ever actually read the terms of service you agree to, when you sign up for things online? Facebook, Google apps, whatever… You really should. I can’t claim that I do either, but I should.
For your enjoyment, via Slashdot.

According to these five terms of service and EULA, Google owns any content you create using [...]
