It was inevitable.  I’m just amazed that it took me so long to find it.

Chef - what’s wrong?

Life continues…

Posted in Personal fun at 4:13 pm by Chad

Life continues on…

Nothing really exciting going on.  Christmas has come and gone.  Family birthdays have come and gone.  Entertainment has come and gone.

I have another glass weekend coming up.  Drop in and see me work.

Work continues.  Almost at a year with the new company.

Meg and I are doing well.

Health is ok.  Trying to lose some weight.  Don’t ask me about it.

That is all.

ISP move - kind of…

Posted in Internet fun at 4:25 pm by Chad

Same old site - brand new account.  Looks the same but is much cheaper for me.

Thanks to Pat for helping me out…

St. Patrick’s Day

Posted in Personal fun at 3:53 pm by Chad

Nothing to report. 

Went to lunch with co-workers today as a day-early birthday celebration.  It was also a two-day-late celebration for one of us.

Work continues.  It’s cool.

Weather is getting warmer, but it’s still March so I’m expecting a snowstorm or two still.

Still getting the Calgary plans together - yahoo!  It’s the Stampede BABY!

Other than that…nothing new to report.

Is this still working?

Posted in Internet fun at 3:43 pm by Chad

The last post I did ended up with the wrong date/time.

This is a test post to see if I get the right one this time.

Here’s hoping…

Edit - it worked.  Wahoo.

A year passes…

Posted in Personal fun at 1:48 pm by Chad

365 days ago I started my new job.  It’s been a year and I’m still here.  Still liking it.  Still working on some cool new stuff.  Still doing some of the same old stuff that is always part of IT work.

Here’s to a year.  And here’s to several more of them.

Happy working!

Re-CAPTCHA

Posted in Internet fun at 9:31 pm by Chad

I was listening to CBC Radio Overnight on the way home last night.  They were playing a BBC WorldService Culture Shock segment.

The interesting part was on Re-CAPTCHA.  You’ve all seen a “captcha“.  Re-Captcha makes use of the human ability to read captchas by submitting some problematic text from a scanned book.  In those older texts, OCR can only make out about 70% of the words.  Re-CAPTCHA uses a section of text that the computers can’t read for the captcha and has you decipher it for them.

So those annoying confirmation captchas aren’t so annoying any longer.

Fun.

And I was amazed that computers can’t read captchas.  But I bet “they’re” working hard on it.

The prophetic nature of Sci-fi

Posted in Entertainment fun at 10:27 pm by Chad

World events these days have me thinking that some of the things that I read in sci-fi books over the years seem to be coming true.

Burbclaves and Abandoned-areas - Snow Crash and I Will Fear No Evil

US innovation ending and the resulting tanking of the economy - Beggars Ride

Hurricanes growing in strength - Heavy Weather

The entire cyberpunk thing and multi-national corporations out-powering nations - anything by William Gibson

I’m sure that there are more, but I can’t think of them at the moment.  I’ll add some more as I remember them.
