Palm Zire 71
At first, I was cheesed off because I had purchased an m515 about a month before the Zire 71 was announced by Palm because, at the time, the m515 was the best price/performance value, in my opinion. Since the Zire 71 was offered with a built in camera and MP3...
Group wants you to donate your $155 cheque to charity
According to several articles, including this one, a coalition of church groups want you to donate your $155 forthcoming cheque to charity, to help the homeless. I wonder if this is something that people will actually do? How exactly is it vote-buying if you ...
Greekfest 2003
This coming weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) is the planned date for Greekfest 2003. Experience what a donair should *really* taste like! Have your own piece of baklava! The possibilities are endless. Come on down and drink your fill of Ouzo and do...
FNP 7: The Matrix Get-Loaded
I know you're all waiting for them with baited breath, so here are the photos. Don't forget the comments and ratings! I had more people ask than usual if there were any extra shirts this time, so the design is going to change slightly to not so much reflec...
Bacardi Ciclon
Here at Spine.cx, we feel that it is important to provide the viewing public with not only reviews of frivolous things like CDs, movies, and pop bottles on the street, but also important things like alcohol. It is with that sentiment that I give to you the fi...
I am the champion
They say necessity is the mother of invention, and I guess they were right about that one. Being at work when you don't want to be there; on a Friday afternoon; when it's sunny outside; can make your mind do weird things. We invented a new sport: Carpet Sur...
FNP 7: Crawl updates
Some further information for you crawlin' peeps to dig. The printers tell me the shirts will be ready on the 22nd of May. I have called all the bars to let them know we're coming and to see what deals I could get out of them for the crawl. Click inside to...
Camping trip 2003 redux
Just letting everyone know that the group campsite at Blomidon has been booked for the weekend of August 1st through the 4th for around 20 people. So if you care, you should make sure you can get that Friday (August 1st) off. If you don't know what I'm talk...
Somebody's getting a littering ticket
So, I'm standing on Hollis Street, minding my own business when out of nowhere, this truck drives by and starts dumping empty plastic bottles of every sort all over the road right in front of Province House. And NOT by accident. Nearly the entire street was ...
The only thing worse than software problems...
Are hardware problems. I was very happy to finally get a new, up-to-date machine (2.4 GHz P4) machine at work last week, complete with a shiny new 40 Gb hard drive. I installed the newly-gold Windows Server 2003 and the slew of applications that I need to do...
Ads?! WTF!?
I have taken a big step with the website today. I decided to try offering textual ads for sale on Spine.cx. I don't really see any reason why it would piss anyone off, but that's what I find myself worrying about. It's not like they're as bad as banner ads, ...
Steve's Trip to Newfoundland
I'm back from Newfoundland. Saw a lot of relatives and made a lot of new acquaintances. Drank a fair amount of beer. What you are about to experience is basically my stream of consciousness during the time I was in Newfoundland. It may not be easy to fol...
No smoking in public in 2008
Halifax council has passed a legislation that will disallow smoking in public places except for special "smoking chambers" and ban it altogether from public places in 2008. I say 2008 can't get here quickly enough. I know this will probably piss off the sm...
It's spring, and that means Pub Crawl
The preliminary rounds are over and now we're getting to the meat of this, the 2003 pub crawl season. I believe we've settled on the theme for the seventh incarnation of Feelin' No Pain and it shall be The Matrix. Originally it was thought to be a good idea ...
New Photos of the FARK Party and New York
Finally, I am home and I have had a chance to get all the photos I have taken off of my camera and onto my website. I'm not exactly what you would call a photographer, but I have an eye for pictures. Unfortunately, there are some of the pictures from New Yor...
A day with Steve in Manhattan
Rants isn't really the right category for this, but I don't think an appropriate category exists... My flight back home has been delayed until Tuesday night, so I get to spend the weekend in New York. I decided to head back to Manhattan so I could check it...
Gone again - This time to NYC
I wasn't even back at work for a whole day before they decided to ship me off again to New York City. I'll be damned if I don't get to see something that's worth taking a picture of this time. I really want to get to see the Statue of Liberty and Times Squar...
Back from D.C.
Finally, I am home after leaving for two days and getting back a week later. The trip was useful for the customer, I believe I fixed some of their problems. That was nice. The sucky part was that I never got out once during the day to do any of the touristy...
Updates from the American Capital
Traffic is fucking insane. Worse than the 401 in a snowstorm. I was stuck in it about an hour before Bush is supposed to make some sort of address to the nation. About half an hour to go now. I'm in my hotel preparing for the St. Paddy's day Washington nig...
Software Developer Union
This may have been brought up before, but what the hell, lets bring it up again. First off this includes everyone that works in the industry, programmers, quality control, tech writers, managers, IS, support reps etc. How many times have you, or someone you...
