Well, after living in Sudbury for five months we had had no visitors... then Amber came along, and--surprise surprise--visitors galore! It's been great seeing so many of our friends and family again, even though my hosting abilities have been put sorely to the test (purely as a result of my …
On the cold, grey, windy morning of Saturday, June 10th, Lynn kicked my butt out of bed for the 26 km Tour de Sudbury. Over the past years I've built up a tradition of long-ish June bike rides, from the Ride for Heart in Toronto with Mike, David, et al …

Yup, tonight I'm live blogging WWdN #18: Fishy McDonk Invitational Part Deux, which is just like last week's live blog, only this time it's personal. Or something like that.
Last week, for the second week in a row, I bowed out of the tournament due to a short-stacked hammer. To …
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm leaving IBM for a new opportunity at Laurentian University. Over the past year and a half a lot of my personal and professional effort has gone into the PHP community: contributing documentation, acting as the release lead for the ibm_db2 and …
