Eyesores be gone

Spine.cx Archive 2004

They are finally tearing down the decrepit, condemned, old parking garage on the corner of Granville and Sackville Streets. It's been a long time coming, some would say. It's stood there for a number of years, useless; a shadow of its former self. Perhaps i...

A contest

Spine.cx Archive 2004

I have had a black Simple Plan t-shirt, size large, donated to me by a generous benefactor. It doesn't even come close to fitting me, so I thought I would give it away on the website. I wanted to post a picture of it, but every time I tried to get the pictur...

Songs for short attention spans

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Find modern songs too long to listen to? Can't wait to hear the closing chords and get on to something new? This album may be just the thing for you. It's 100, yes, one hundred songs squeezed onto one 80 minute CD. By forcing himself to find really, real...

The most fucked up things happen to me

Spine.cx Archive 2004

What's the last thing you would expect when you wake up in the morning? For me, the last thing I would have expected was for my eyelid to be turned inside out and swollen like an altar boys's tuchus. Honestly, I wish I had a photo of that for you (stay tuned...

I got to ride a Segway

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Yeah! I was at the Technology museum in San Jose today and I got to ride a Segway. At first, it's not very intuative, you just feel like you're going to tip over when you lean, but you get the hang of it fairly quickly, and it becomes pretty natural. Still, ...

From: Dragos Ruiu To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com Subject: Caveat Lector: Beastie Boys Evil Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 01:10:23 Well I truly regret actually purchasing a copy of the new Beastie Boys album to support them. It seems that Capitol Records has...

Downtown power outage

Spine.cx Archive 2004

They couldn't have picked a better day for a transformer explosion: Sunny, 25° I'm standing by the window in my office on the 12th floor of a downtown office building and I hear a huge BOOM and then all the power goes out. Fantastic! I'm very happy that V...

My birthday party

Spine.cx Archive 2004

So, yeah, my party happened on Saturday night. I'm still working on getting the webcam's photos turned into some kind of stop-motion video. It worked pretty well while it was light out, but after that the pictures just turned out black. Bummer. Anyway, t...

My Friday night

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Friday was Jeanine's birthday, so a bunch of people went out for drinks and eats at Mexicali Rosa's. Unfortunately, I accidentally ordered their 'contest food', simply because it was a good deal. After finding out that I could get my picture on the wall and ...

Steve: 0, Beef: 1

Spine.cx Archive 2004

I've done some stupid things in the past. Some of them really stupid. This ranks up there with the best of them. My brother convinced me to attempt eating a 72 ounce steak at the Lone Star. It cost $40, but it was one of those, "If-you-can-finish-this-meal...

Bomb scare in my neighbourhood

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Ok, so I'm driving home and the street one block down from me is roped off with police tape. Cop cars all around. You'd think, "WTF?!", right? Me too. Naturally, I pull over and walk back, camera in hand to see if I can find out what the hell is going on. ...

My birthday party

Spine.cx Archive 2004

My 28th birthday is on the 1st of June. Since that's a Tuesday, I'm throwing a party the following Saturday, the 5th of June. Bring meat to barbeque, and booze to imbibe. If you don't know where I live, drop me an email. It's been a long time (last Augus...

Beers, beers, beers

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Recently, some beers have made me curious. Some because they have no carbs, and some because they're used in bizarre party games. I decided to try them both. There are many low or no-carb beers out there now, and I had to pick one, so I chose Sleeman's Cl...

Point Pleasant Park reopens June 4th

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Just like the title says, Point Pleasant is scheduled to reopen for general use on Friday, June 4th at 9:00. Hopefully, it won't look like this for the next generation of park-goers. The city is planning a long term project of replanting trees, but it'll o...

Gas and mouthwash

Spine.cx Archive 2004

These gas price increases have gone on long enough, so I thought it was about time to write a full-fledged article about it. Ninety-six point nine, eh? That's getting pretty fucking crazy. When it starts costing people more than $50 on average to fill their...

My new toy

Spine.cx Archive 2004

I love getting new pieces of electronics. It's like Christmas; the sweet smell of virgin circuit boards filling your nostrils. Last week, I went and bought myself a Palm Zire 72 as an upgrade from my Zire 71. Coincidentally, I'm also looking to sell my Zire...

Why Free standards are better

Spine.cx Archive 2004

The reason I prefer Free, open standards is because shit like this can't happen. People expected it to happen with GIF. Compuserve had a patent, Unisys owns Compuserve, pretty much everyone saw that one coming. This JPEG thing is a different story. I tho...

Hardware failures

Spine.cx Archive 2004

Of all the pieces of hardware in a computer that could possibly fail, the most annoying is a hard drive. Guess what piece of hardware in my computer is in the process of failing? Hey, you got it. I bet that didn't take more than two guesses. About two we...

Best. Monitor. EVAR.

Spine.cx Archive 2004

I think anyone who's ever written a client/server architected program has either basked in the glory of, or pined away for, a dual monitor set up. I know that since I have had dual monitors, I just can't go back. It's just too sweet. This monitor however,...

Canadian women win gold

Spine.cx Archive 2004

The Canadian women have done it again: won a world hockey championship. There was definately some questionable refereeing going on during this game; bad calls were made on both sides. But it if weren't for a (bad) decision in calling one of the Americans' s...
