How do I know that m@b reads my blog? Easy, ‘cos he hotlinked the image from the Ecobunk invitation to the Spacing Wire.

Bill, the Area Man
Seems that Bill lives just around the corner. And I thought that this area was pretty much a blogger-free zone, too.
really winter
Further to winter, we’ve just had our first anemometer icing event in Alberta. Let it snow, etc.

ex dexit, or trying to be
Coo, was I really all fired up about Dexit, like I appear to have been in January 2004? ‘Cos, basically, Dexit sucks.
The coffee place I get my morning fix got rid of its unreliable Dexit machine when it changed hands. So I’ve got nearly $70 sitting on the useless Dexit tag, doing nothing.
Today I called for a refund, and discovered that Dexit won’t refund your balance. I wouldn’t have signed up for it if I’d known there’d be this in the ultra-sneaky Dexit user agreement (PDF):
Only in the event of your death (and upon receipt of such documents as Dexit reasonably requires in such circumstances as to whom is entitled to your estate funds), or Dexit closing your Dexit Account without cause, will the remaining funds in your Dexit Account be repaid to you. “Cause” will include any violation of this Agreement, any fraud or attempted fraud, any other operation of the Dexit Account or use of a Dexit Tag in an unsatisfactory manner, or non-use of your Dexit Account for over three (3) years.
So, do I hafta kill myself to get my money back?
Oh, and Dexit’s phone support staff are untruthful. I needed to speak to a supervisor. They promised one would call before 8pm this evening. It’s 9:55 now, and I’ve heard nothing.
blog entry for dad
My folks have been visiting for the last couple of weeks (we’re just about to leave for the airport), and Dad asked for some links we discussed. The following will probably make little or no sense to other readers:
- Google Maps UK, including a link to a place they’ll know well.
- The Caravel Web Content Management System, from the Mennonite Church.
- AVG Anti Virus.
- Tax Refund for Visitors to Canada, the official fee-free one.
- Collected Works of Caruso.
i think i’m supposed to have arrived now
I have a wordpress.com blog now. Does this mean I’m something above a gamma-list blogger? Whatever shall I use it for?
Blair’s Blog
Blair has a Blog — and it’s very pink!
I (still) believe in bugs
We found this praying mantis at the back of the office. Paul picked it up, but it flew off. It didn’t seem to mind having its picture taken.
This (my second) mantis sighting was much more interactive than my first.

Pepys’ Diary
Pepys’ Diary, as a blog. Yes, I’m the second last person to discover it. The RSS feed seems a little out of date …
We just watched Stage Beauty. Hugh Bonneville’s portrayal of Pepys never reminded me more of certain bloggers I know.

Anouncing my new category on climate change: WAGDAIYF, acronym for “we’re all gonna die, and it’s your fault”.

I set up a site for catherine last night: c-raine.com.

There’s a minor Canon vs Nikon thing going on at Toronto Photobloggers right now … as a D70 owner, I just know I’m right 😉

And you know, it does! I just did!
I had a little folderblog …
If you are looking for eentsy photoblog software, you could do worse than folderblog. It was just what I needed for a recent project.
I still prefer Gallery for my images, though.
.info – wasn’t that an Amiga thing?

Filled with Oaty Goodness
Caroline Smith calls my blog “It’s Oaty!“. I’m not sure why, it must be my thick, heavy accent …
