Colour commentary on the world we live in

Kamloops

Writing from Kamloops. Had an awesome visit with Robert, Rowena, Jonathan, Kevin, Donna, and Matt. All appear to be doing well and we had to great time and experienced a really nice Rosh Hashanah. Happy new year to all!

Tomorrow, the plan is to continue on Highway 1 to Lake Louise and then head north to Jasper and stay there overnight. Then head to Edmonton the next day.

Noticed that blosedit.pl seems to be not working. Not sure what is going on there. Sending the log data to Matt who can probably understand it much better than I.

As best as I can work out, something went wrong on the backend when you tried logging on... something in the username/password retrieval system? I can't reproduce the error, so I'm guessing it was just a flake & am not worrying about it.

My only memories of Kamloops all involve being on a Greyhound bus, late at night or early in the morning, with many hours of travel left to go. So I wish you much joy of your sojourn there, and hope that it's better than mine were.

Oooh, sounds like a really nice trip! I've got some fond memories of Kamloops, specifically falling off my bike onto some nice soft grass and not moving for quite a while. Apparently folks living there have to get their brakes replace on almost a yearly basis.

(Belated) Rosh Hashanah!

Er, make that "(Belated) Rosh Hashanah!" Uhm, what would the appropriate adjective be here, anyways? Excuse me, I'm just going to look for a crowbar to pry my foot out of my mouth now.

Hows & Whys
Who we are

Blue has been known to toss a disc around a field from time to time, and thinks that you should as well. He lives either on the Internet or in Toronto, depending on your perspective. Ask him no questions and there's a good chance he'll tell you no lies. [Site]

Brent hosts the box from which we dangle our conversations, for which we are all eternally grateful. Gratitude is most easily expressed in small bills. Formerly a pawn of the Evil Empire (or maybe a Knight), he has gone over the wall and now toils at a small computer game company in Alberta that no one except for ten million gamers has ever heard of. [Site]

Kael occasionally gets called "Mike"; mostly by people who don't know him. He cooks, he cleans, he maintains Unix servers... what else could you ask for? Currently a slave to the Man, by which we mean retail sales. He has secret plans, but we can't tell you about them. In fact, we've already said too much. [Site]

Lisa is a recreational therapist without a cause. She entertains dreams of ruling over an empire of scrapbooking. Has a well-deserved reputation for enthusiasm, common sense, and tiredness. Ask her about her teapots, but don't touch them.

Matt is just this guy, you know? A mathematician by training and a layabout by inclination; he currently has an Urban Commuter Campus in the American Midwest convinced that they should pay him for plying these trades. The designer and administrator of this site, which means in a sense this is all his fault. [Site | E-mail]

Sky is a salesman during the day. At night he doesn't bother: his words are like unto those of a god, and you can agree or you can be wrong. Lives in the World of Warcraft, with a sattelite office in Toronto. Known to play games on occasion.

Wendy has never run away to join the circus, but pursuing graduate work in medical imaging is perhaps just as good. She didn't choose her current abode on the basis of proximity to a Toronto Public Library branch, but we wouldn't put it past her. Married to one of the other authors here, but you'll have to read the archives to find out which one. [Site]
