Here's the ultimate test of how accurate a guesser I am of the size (or lack thereof) of this website's local readership: Everyone who reads this in time is welcome to come to my place to bring in 2002 like it ain't nobody's business. If you don't know whe...

So Christmas is here....I want to hear all your stories about visiting with relatives and/or in-laws. All the bitching about not getting those argyle socks you wanted, and all the jubilation over the mass of swag that you now boast. Lay it on me. I can ta...

While implementing their "copy protection" scheme for music CDs, Universal Music will be simultaneously rendering most DVD players, car stereos, and computers unable to play their wares. It's quite silly, in a way: If I can't play music on my DVD player, in ...

For those of you that are interested, I've been documenting the renovation of my home theater room with plenty of pictures. Click on the link below for a bit of a description of what's going on in the photos. Pictures are here if you can't read, and just w...

I finally have something to be proud of. I'm the fifth most screwed up individual on the Internet, according to The Screensavers and their "Web's Weirdest Personal Crusades" article. I guess the Subway Petition isn't dead after all... Originally posted on...

Our friends over at SandyWalsh.com have an interesting article on building a computer controlled VCR, complete with a nifty diagram. Check it out. Originally posted on Monday, 2001-12-03 at 13:24:27.

If anybody reading this gets their Internet connectivity via Eastlink Cable in Halifax, they may have noticed that they were unable to reach this site for part of Friday night and most of Saturday. My sources tell me that some routing thing-a-ma-bob that I do...

Has anyone else noticed that MSN Messenger keeps kicking you off every couple of minutes, seemingly at random? I hope this is happening to at least one other person or I think I shall go stark raving mad. My own personal theory is that is has something to ...

I need help choosing an icon. Right now the icon for the "games" topic is a Dreamcast. This is simply because I now own one, and it's the reason I created the topic in the first place :) Help me choose (a more appropriate?) one. Click below. Here are ...

I attended my first Dalhousie Women's Hockey Team game on Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't an entirely unpleasant experience. The best part? It's free. There is no better admission fee than free. Everyone should come out to their next game. My sources te...

None of the following text is mine, but I thought it was really interesting. Read it, and see how many childhood memories it brings back for you. I was wallowing in my own adolescence for a good half hour afterwards. If not, then you're either too young (...

This is something I really don't understand. Amazon.com is selling two versions of How the Grinch Stole Christmas: one in pan & scan and the other in widescreen. It's no secret that I, as the anal-retentive bastard I am when it comes to video and audio, p...

Am I the only one who thinks this is total and complete crap? Read this press release and see if you can discern what (if any) difference there is between rotating the condiments 180 degrees and turning the @#$%! sandwich around. I absolutely cannot believ...

I finally managed to get my television calibrated by a professional. His name is Gregg Loewen, and he was nice enough to post on the forums a description of what he did. Click below for a graph of pre-calibration vs. post-calibration values for color tempe...

Right now, the forums (where all future photoshops will go) are totally seperate from this main site. That means that users have to create two logins, and that's a pain in the ass. I have a solution, but I'm not going to have the chance to implement it until...

My brother, who runs Twisted Pair Network Consulting, Inc. has started a site dedicated to Halifax, and the surrounding area. There's no place for user comments, and he definately needs to get some better icons :) But it's sure to prove useful. Most impor...

Another in the long line of Flash games that never cease to amuse me. You can actually spank a monkey. It's funny because there's a monkey, and you spank him. My top score is 822 mph, but I sort of found a way to cheat :) See if you can do any better. O...

Photos from the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Grand Parade in downtown Halifax. I didn't take very many, but I guess some is better than none. Click here Originally posted on Monday, 2001-11-12 at 09:03:30.

I'm up in my office right now, looking down at the Nova Scotia Legislature, 12 floors below and across the street. A bunch of International Socialists are beating drums and yelling, completely oblivious to the fact that the parking lot is completely empty, an...

Canadians have snapped up Remembrance Day poppies this year at a clip normally reserved for the latest boy band CD or hot new Christmas toy. "We've run out and that's never happened since it all started in 1921," said Mick Steers, a spokesman for the Royal...
