Morning in Montreal
I should be awake now. But I can’t help feeling laid back and lazy. After all is not a vacation a good excuse to relax. Outside the window, grey daylight streams in filtered by light curtains. Inside I sit and write. Outside the wind blows. The dark silohuette of a tree rocks its branches to…

Writing on a Train
I neglected to post a blog entry today in the morning. I felt too tired and uninspired to write anything of substance. Also I could not relax until I knew I had left Toronto. Now it is evening. And I’m on a train, again going the farthest east on land I’ve been in Canada. I’m…

A Quest for Easy Multiblog Setup
One of the downside of sporting the ‘Y’ chromosone, is the tendency to setup new kit without reading instructions. In my case a similar thing happened with my sites. I bought a domain and hosting. Then I installed Drupal hearing all the wonderful things I heard about Drupal. What I didn’t do was research to…

Quotes
Friedrich von Hayek: “We mustn’t assume that all problems are solvable in the short period. There are problems that we cannot solve or which trying to solve them quickly may do more harm than good.” Hayek was being interviewed by the press in 1975 on economic problems at the time. This question answers directly to…

Links: Blue Hackers and Wars of Chores
I’m too lazy and too busy for a full blog post today. Last week I stumbled across these links. Are you a depressed codemonkey? Then maybe a quick read of BlueHackers.org is just what the doctor recommends. Have a bad case of lazy roommates? Declare a Chore War on them! OK, thats all I got…

Restrictions and privacy used to be something implicit and natural. In today’s networked world it must be a life policy. One of the things…

That Subscription Did Pay Off…
In January I decided to that I need to work on my time management and organization skills. Especially with the amount of different projects and events happening in and around my life, I need to find scraps of time here and there. Not to mention I need to remember tasks, people, the locations of miscellanous…

Variations of the Void Ad Infinitum
I sat today and wondered about the infinite variations of life, possibilities and their outcomes. This time I didn’t think about the standard what-if things happened this way or that in the past. Looking back into the past beyond analysing and preventing mistakes or repeating successes is pointless. A variation in a single event can…

A Weekend of Inaction
This weekend turned out not as productive as I planned it to be. Instead of working on any writing or replying to any e-mails or doing any real computer-related work. I did enjoy the guilty pleasure of semi-disconnecting from the Web. This disconnect actually helped with the dose of soul-searching and self-pity that comes with…

Blogging Update
As you may have noticed, I am back to blogging on a regular schedule. In fact this past week, I got a full five workdays all covered. And was no easy task. Now I’ll be the first to admit that not all of my blogs are actually written on a daily basis. Rather I am…
