August 23rd, 2013, 10:41 pm I miss LJ I miss LiveJournal. LJ is still here, for sure, but the people mostly aren't. It is a ghost town. They all went to that craptastic spy machine call Facebook. I wish Facebook would just disappear. Oh and Google+ as well, for different reasons.
July 12th, 2011, 08:49 am Google+ Want a Google+ invite?I need your gmail for that (apparently it is only open if you have a gmail account :-/). Promise I'll only use it to send the invite.So maybe we can close LJ, I have been annoyed for a while with the "in you face" ads - which is why I haven't posted in a very long time here.Cheers !

September 30th, 2009, 01:02 am Twitts du jour My twitts today:09:08 @fredix je connais pas le prix en France mais ici c'est $250.... # 09:09 @traceyyyz it is facebook. what else? # 09:10 @jkahane1 yeah I'm soaking wet here too. But that's just Vancouver. # 09:11 @somecanuckchick but Horatio Smurf? # 09:12 @the_nexus a lot? # 09:25 I forgot to mention, in the end, I got my #gsoc t-shirt, thanks to #google. Not that I had a low stock of t-shirts. # 10:20 @itsgoodtobehere yeah the price of the beer in general. And I rechecked. For the price of a 12 in QC I get a 6 here in BC. # 10:21 @somecanuckchick maybe he should make some for us. # 10:21 Am I insane to go out in this rain to get coffee? At least it is not a snow storm. # 10:23 @pphaneuf not that the East was short on rain this year :-) # 10:38 @itsgoodtobehere I think the answer is pretty simple and not specific to GIB # 11:11 @nancyrihakova apparently you survived! # 11:11 @nancyrihakova you didn't get the memo? just to reassure you, I didn't either :-) # 11:31 @itsgoodtobehere PST/GST is the same here. Beer is just cheaper. And I was comparing for the same brand. # 13:23 @somecanuckchick not watching discolored TV? # 13:30 @somecanuckchick maybe you should locate the Smurf on Toon TV :-) # 14:26 @garrett OpenMocko? ;-) # 20:57 @the_nexus call that the AIR effect. One good reason to avoid anything written with AIR. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter
September 29th, 2009, 01:01 am Twitts du jour My twitts today:09:14 Just took the Canada Line to go to work, and to all the critics, I say "look how busy it is". # 09:45 @moog It was an exceptional trip, Marine Drive to Roundhouse. # 10:14 West Coast housing prices, the insanity continues: bit.ly/v1Fu3 (via @timbray) # 10:14 @somecanuckchick oops. And I told you yesterday ;-) # 10:41 @somecanuckchick you can meet for coffee around the corner ;-) # 10:56 @moog me too ;-) # 11:14 @moog Yaletown, like a couple of blocks from the SkyTrain - Yaletown Roundhouse. # 11:14 @somecanuckchick And play Small World ? ;-) # 11:32 @the_nexus yeah we have the Arctic Butterfly. I just forgot it for the trip. # 11:32 @somecanuckchick it is in the suitcase. It was part of my equipment I brought. # 12:09 @somecanuckchick the "small"? # 13:43 @somecanuckchick there is a store around the corner. I think I have their pamphlet on the counter. If not... # 16:35 @sararainmaker at least it is a day that ends in 'y' # 17:27 @johnbintz you are the third person I know (and have met IRL) with an IMDB entry. # 19:51 @apike with a broken coffee machine? # 19:51 @somecanuckchick yeah that totally suck. Looks like $1000 will have to be spent sooner :-( or not # 21:34 @metawidget We could almost have driven you there ! :-) # 21:34 @indigobluejelly who? # 21:51 People hot linking other's images for their MySpace page deserve a punishment. One shall be provided soon. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

September 25th, 2009, 01:04 am Twitts du jour My twitts today:15:47 I have been driving for 2 days, and I still haven't left Ontario. Canada is a big country. # 15:49 @msmeissn I do understand your pain. Really. # 15:50 BTW, Gmail down, news at 6. And this is not a joke. Gmail has become mainstream. # 15:51 @jkahane1 And Flash Forwards just before, at 8 PM (on ABC) # 16:12 @the_nexus dude, it is the dead zone for cell phones over there. # 16:14 @storming I always get asked the salary in the first questions. Usually it goes nowhere. # 16:17 @wlach I have dropped boost::regex in favor libpcre because the later DO support Unicode regex. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter
September 23rd, 2009, 01:01 am Twitts du jour My twitts today:05:54 @eschaton if only... I have seen worse than that. # 08:02 @somecanuckchick here too. under-caffeinated is bad. # 08:03 @indigobluejelly what about lunch or something? # 12:07 @pphaneuf how would it be if it wasn't car free... # 12:24 @garrett a coffee machine? # 15:09 @davidz25 how many don't run a Free Desktop? #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter
September 22nd, 2009, 01:01 am Twitts du jour My twitts today:19:15 @apike Sometime that kind of thinking happen in the shower... or when doing groceries. # 19:17 Google SoC T-shirt sent to the wrong address. And Fedex can't redirect across the country unlike Canada post. # 19:19 @jkahane1 if only you could delete your facebook account. # 19:21 @dhewlett couldn't you run an emulator instead? # 20:00 Ubuntu 10.04 named after a cat.... Copy? (no, not Tiger). #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter
September 21st, 2009, 01:01 am Twitts du jour My twitts today:08:54 In Toronto... # 08:56 @tangenteer Not from my dog... # 09:01 @fredix mais c'est quel chipset. Parceque c'est ca qui est important. Netgear, comme les autres, changent le chipset sans changer le modèle. # 09:04 @pphaneuf I don't use non-DSLR. But seriously a good viewfinder is important. Don't take that away. # 09:16 @pphaneuf nor have they been adding one back. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter
