So CanWEA 2008 is done. The high point was the launch of WindVision 2025. See you next year in Toronto.

Hugin comes fully of age

I made the Generic Vancouver Seawall Panorama today using all of Hugin’s defaults, and in the words of Eric Morecambe, “You can’t see the join!”. You used to have to play with lots of settings - now it just gets it right. Bravo!

We arrived in Vancouver yesterday, and in the hotel hit a snag: the combination lock of my case wouldn’t open. I don’t remember setting one, so the prospect of going through 000 .. 999 to get at my clothes would be tiresome.

Thank goodness for Heather’s Luggage Repair. They reset the combination, and showed me the annoying little feature of combination locks that can cause this to happen.

the way out of Richmond

Well, that’s pretty much all for my BC trip. Got another day in the office, then fly out this afternoon.

I managed to be a bit more sociable this time. Dinner with Dave and Leanne in a very high-tone restaurant, curry with Kelly on Davie St on Halloween, then dinner with colleagues last night.

Things I Saw in Vancouver

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Things I Saw in Vancouver - and yes, there are flowers in bloom. Beware of the cute sea otters, though they’re not quite up there with the Oh Noes! otter.

Update: Dave’s photos are good - thanks!

Q: What do you get after two days of rain in Vancouver?
A: Monday!

Well, I’m heading back, and quite typically, the sun came out today so I got a peek at the mountains. It’s been a fun, busy trip, even if I am using Telus’s ridiculously expensive and slow hotspot in Vancouver airport.
