so, i had an awesome night last night. a new friend of ours was able to score gold tickets -- row 11!!! -- to last night's leafs / flyers game. we lost 3-2 in triple-OT ... which stunk. but what fun! and, since we were there for 2 games worth of hockey, i don't feel quite as bad about paying way too much :)

so, it's been a long time, and lots has happened but the big news this week is that andrew has the chicken pox. poor kid. the worst part is that he's got a bunch of stuff going on these days. he's missing a field trip today, he'll probably miss soccer next week, and then his uncle chad is coming to visit and his graduation is next thursday.

so, now that andrew is done with chicken pox and back in school... guess who's covered in spots? yup. camryn's got the pox. but at least she's young enough that they don't seem to bother her... and she can't quite scratch them yet.

in other news... chad was up from atlanta on the weekend (with his new girlfriend raven). we had tons of fun. we even went to canada's wonderland for the first time in years. naturally, i totally forgot my camera, so the memories are entirely in our heads. neener neener. :p

so, i've been playing around with the site a little bit... playing some more with drupal, and re-arranging some other stuff. most notably, i've seperated my "files" and "gallery" stuff. they're available via links in the right-hand column... but also you can go directly to: <a href="http://cvs.walkah.net/">http://cvs.walkah.net/</a> or <a href="http://gallery.walkah.net/">http://gallery.walkah.net/</a>.

the big news, however, is that camryn has started to take steps on her own! she can do about 3 or 4 steps before collapsing in a fit of giggles in your arms. it's great fun.

andrew's second weekend of hockey is done. he still really likes it... and a 7:30am practice just doesn't bother him. today was "Opti-day" at the <a href="http://www.auroratigers.com/">aurora tigers</a> game, so we went to that. (all players from andrew's league got in free if wearning their jersey). tigers won 17-3, which i must admit is the biggest blow-out i can remember seeing in a hockey game.

i *finally* commited to G2 for the second time this morning, this completing <a href="http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=86441&group_id=7130&group_project_id=14056">this</a> task - multple item deletion. it's a minor fix, but i'm still kind of getting used to the coding styles, etc. of the project and, thus, taking my time. i've been given 2 new tasks though, so hopefully things should pick up a bit more on this front.

so, i had a rather large backlog of pictures on the camera, but (sadly) not a lot of them turned out that well. :( i think i need to go back through the manual for my camera, because a lot of pics are coming out overexposed and/or blurry.

so, lately in my "spare" time (i.e. the wee hours of the morning), i've been helping my brother, chad, launch a little website he calls <a href="http://www.sudden-thoughts.com/">sudden thoughts</a>.
|
||||
for those of you who don't know, chad is a brilliant writer and a total music nerd. sudden thoughts is a showcase of both of these attributes. the site currently features cd reviews (focus on lesser-known jazz & hip-hop), in depth coverage of up and coming labels and a neat feature in which artists are contributing their own 'view from the trenches' - the first of which was contributed by <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDCASS70312021700042613&sql=B7267gjirj6ix">steve coleman</a>.
|
||||
i encourage everyone to check it out!

... is one of <a href="http://www.slimdevices.com/index.html">these</a>! anyone who has been over for a dinner party or otherwise at our house knows that I use a little old laptop to try and acheive the same thing with minimal success. since my entire music collection is digitized, i have long been looking for a way to take advantage of that fact in the rest of the house. well here it is... and it even supports wifi!

i came across something very odd recently while trying to futz my way around photohop. i was trying to create an image for a <a href="http://www.sudden-thoughts.com/">site</a>, and thus was using the hex code from the site background for the image background. However, when the resulting image was viewed on a PC (with IE 6 or Mozilla) the colors did not match. after trying the same image with <a href="http://www.gimp.org">the gimp</a>, the colors matched successfully on windows browsers (and even moz et. al on linux). *however*, they didn't match under safari (and still don't).

it's been really, really fun to watch him fall in love with hockey, work his buns off trying to get better, and then seeing the results. i'm very, very proud.

so, a little side effect of my changing my site around as much as i have is that there are some links out there in the wild that reference content that no longer exists. this is not the end of the world, but i typically like to keep track of them. (i.e. which pages aren't found). well, since sometime around drupal 4.2 there has been support for a feature known as 'clean urls' , which involves apache mod_rewrite, but essentially makes every requested path a valid one as far as apache is concerned. this means drupal should handle when requests are not found. and i wasn't the only one who <a href="http://drupal.org/node/view/2102">thought so</a>.

<a href="http://www.alexking.org/blog">alex king</a> has a really good idea on his blog about having an API for centralized rss feed subscriptions, etc. including tracking which articles have been read. i, for one, think this is a great idea. since i tend to move back and forth between computers (and operating systems), i've taken to doing most of my RSS reading with <a href="http://www.ranchero.com/netnewswire">NetNewsWire</a> on my powerbook.

well, andrew is now on christmas holidays, but his teacher gave the parents a pretty neat gift. in addition to having the kids create and decorate cards for their parents, she also put together a cd full of pictures of the class that she'd taken throughout the first half of the year. now, for a geek like me i'd say that's a pretty cool idea. anyway, i've uploaded the ones that contain andrew to my <a href="http://gallery.walkah.net/main.php/view/family/andrew">gallery</a>. it's like a sneak peek into his daily routine. kudos to his teacher.

<a href="http://www.off.net/~shaver/diary/">shaver</a> - i would definitely support the move to maildir (from mbox). i made the switch over a year ago (or was it two?) and have been very happy. the thing that killed mbox for me was locking... any imapd will lock the whole mbox file which means when i'd leave client running at home, i'd have to ssh in and kill it from work (read pain in the arse). i also find webmail a bit snappier with maildir (others even formally <a href="http://www.courier-mta.org/mbox-vs-maildir/">benchmark</a> crap like that).

i think i may have found my new blogging tool of choice (for mac os x anyway). this post it brought to you by <a href="http://www.kung-foo.tv/ecto/">ecto</a> ... the next generation of the now defunct 'kung log'. though it's still in beta, it looks promising. the UI is fairly pleasant, and it's already pretty chock full of features. it also appears to support metaWeblogAPI's file upload... so now i will have a non-windows way to test <a href="http://drupal.org/node/view/4878">this feature</a>.

so, on very short, last-minute type notice, i ended up attending andrew's first ever ski trip today with his school. while i didn't end up skiing myself (rather spent the day manning the 'lift' and the line on the beginner hill) but andrew had an absolute blast. looks like we're gonna be hittin' the slopes on a semi-regular basis, if he has his way.

so one of the main challenges in building 'canadian' websites is the whole 2 official national language thing. to add to the complexity, it is customary for government sites to have a language 'toggle' that takes you from any page to an identical page in the other language. so, i've written a small module to try and cope with this issue (so that node/view/$nid shows you the appropriate translation based on your currently selected $locale value).

so, after briefly flirting with a fixed width design, i've got back a "fluid" layout for this site. thanks mainly to peter at <a href="http://openflows.org/">openflows</a> for some <a href="http://www.humanfactors.com/downloads/oct02.asp#bobbailey">good</a> <a href="http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2003/12/15/fixedorliquid.htm">articles</a> on the merits of liquid layouts. i've personally come to the conclusion that both approaches have their own merits, and as usual it's a matter of fitting the design to the application. that said, this blog (imo) looks better liquid - too damned much white space otherwise. besides, not enough people read it to really make a difference ;)

<p>for the first time in quite sometime (perhaps ever) i actually bought a piece of "shareware" (or otherwise low-cost software). i think having my powerbook is really starting to do odd things to my brain. anyway, the story is that my beta release of <a href="http://www.kung-foo.tv/ecto/">ecto</a> expired (since the final version was released). *however* i didn't buy ecto. instead, i decided to buy <a href="http://www.ranchero.com/netnewswire/">netnewswire</a> instead. why? well, because i've become completely addicted to reading a bunch of RSS feeds in the morning (it's replaced my previous habit of <a href="http://slashdot.org/">slashdot reading</a>) and the full version of netnewswire also has a built-in blog poster (plus more options for news reading). so, i decided if i'm gonna buy something, might as well buy one that does both. </p>

been a while since i gave an andrew hockey update. well, this past weekend marked his first foray into the fabulous world of goaltending. since his league is fundamentally about development, each kid gets a weekend to be goalie (with pads and everything). this past weekend was andrew's turn. i must say, he made me quite proud. he has good instincts in terms of positioning and was as aggressive as i've ever seen him in anything athletic. he even had an absolutely adorable, yet quite good stance. the best part, though, was that he absolutely loved it!

so, the first - and probably biggest - bit of news that i've neglected to post is that i am now officially self-employed. at the end of january (my god it's over a month now!) i left my <a href="http://www.x2idea.com/">former job</a> to start my own company and pursue my own projects. most people that i know (and thus are reading this post) already know this, and know my full reasons for doing so. however, there are two other things that make it worth posting here (even if rather late in the game): first, some free advertising ;) but second, is i intend to keep a more current log of what i'm up to, and this will no doubt be a huge part of that.

so, it's not just my blog that gets neglected. it's also been over 3 months since i knocked off a <a href="http://gallery.sf.net/">gallery</a> task. i've spent some time (a couple minutes here and there) getting familiar with the codebase all over again. G2 is gonna be a great product, there's a lot of really neat stuff going on in there. <a href="http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=87551&group_id=7130&group_project_id=14056">the task</a> that i completed is fairly mundane, but it feels good to contribute to a great project. my hope is to start carving out more regular chunks of time to contribute. that way, i'll be able to take on some of the more interesting tasks.

<p>so, if you pay attention here, you know what fun andrew's been having playing hockey this year (and how much fun i've had watching him). what you don't know, is that this past sunday, andrew went head first into the boards during his game.... hard.</p>

for a while now, i've been on a kick to move toward more graphical computing environments. i no longer use <a href="http://mutt.org/">mutt</a> to read my email on a regular basis and i even occasionally use osx finder or *gasp* nautilus under <a href="http://www.gnome.org/">gnome</a>. one thing i hadn't addressed yet was irc. i use irc a lot for co-ordinating with others on projects, etc. therefore, i like my irc to be 'always on'. this has meant using <a href="http://www.irssi.org/">irssi</a> inside <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html">gnu screen</a>. for a while, i've been contemplating running an irc proxy so i can experiment with other gui irc clients. until i found this:
|
||||
|
||||
<a href="http://irssi.org/?page=docs&doc=proxy">irssi proxy</a>. this allows my currently running irssi + screen to simply act as a proxy for other clients. very cool!! so now, i've got the best of both worlds.

you also may notice (from the screenshot) that i'm now running <a href="http://fedora.redhat.com/">fedora core 1</a> on my main workstation instead of <a href="http://www.debian.org/">debian</a>. more on that later...

one other andrew note, earlier this week he lost 2 teeth in one day... just when the gaps from his previous tooth loss were nearly filled! for those of you playing along at home - that's 6 baby teeth gone.
|

|
||||
as for camryn, she continues to grow and grow. and, finally, she's starting to get teeth almost as fast as andrew is losing them. her 4 canine teeth have been taking their sweet time to come down, but one has officially broken and the other three are well on their way. otherwise, she's doing her best to get into as much trouble as possible - we've had to put away the ladder for andrew's bunk bed since she decided she likes playing on the top bunk too!

well, super congrats to <a href="http://www.jonbob.net/">jonbob</a> for finally sneaking his menu stuff into drupal cvs. i've just played with it for a bit (briefly) and it's very flexible. i like it a lot. it not only lets you fiddle with the default 'navigation' menu, but allows you to define completely custom menus.

so, i hate <a href="http://www.shoprogers.com/store/wireless/content/phones/Phone_Details.asp?shopperID=4XXJU02CFPAL8H5J45DCFGAK3GK568B6&name=Motorola%20V66&number=25&">my cell phone</a>. ok, "hate" is a strong word. but, i would like to at least be able to talk on my cell phone from my new basement office. i also completely dislike flip phones as it turns out. so, i want a new phone. but, i want a good one. sure, the p800/900's are nice and all, but not really my price range. so, i've casually been looking at alternatives. that's when i stumbled across the <a href="http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=ca&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pp1_loader&php=php1_10076&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10076">sony ericsson t616</a>. i like that it has bluetooth (have i mentioned i _really_ want a bluetooth gadget to play with my powerbook?), is iSync compatible, is *not* a flip phone, and even has a camera (so i could <a href="http://www.moblog.com/">moblog</a> 'n' stuff). The best part, though, is that it's a fraction of the cost of a p800. but, what i'd really like to know is... anyone out there used or know of anyone who uses this phone? got a similar one you would recommend instead? care to donate a cool gadget? ;)

man, it's been a crazy couple of weeks. there are some really <a href="http://www.civicspace.org/">interesting</a> <a href="http://www.peopleaggregator.com/">projects</a> (and a couple others that i can't yet link to) out there that are committing to <a href="http://www.drupal.org/">drupal</a> . the really exciting part is that, for whatever reason, <a href="http://blogs.it/0100198/2004/04/26.html#a2645">some people</a> have decided that i'm a <a href="http://devel.peopleaggregator.com/DrupalGods">drupal god</a>. well, i'm completely flattered (though, the real deity in the drupal world is certainly still <a href="http://buytaert.net/">dries</a>). the end result has been getting to meet lots of interesting people and it looks like i'll be working on lots of very exciting projects moving forward.

well, i took the plunge. thanks for <a href="http://walkah.net/node/view/65#comment">the feedback</a> guys. i got a t616. all i can say is : "cool". i'm by no means a veteran in the whole cell phone scene. i haven't had all the cool phones. but, i like this one a lot (granted, my old phone sucked which has lowered my expectations). i love that my connections seem to be clearer, it's _not_ a flip phone, and most of all.... bluetooth! my first iSync over bluetooth was a wonderful experience - worth the price of admission.

so, if you use linux on your desktop (as i do) and frequent sites that use a lot of flash (as i do), then you'd probably be happy to know (as i was) that macromedia released <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/proom/pr/2004/flashplayer_linux.html">flash player 7 for linux</a> yesterday. so, since i am currently running <a href="http://fedora.redhat.com/">fedora core 2</a> on my desktop i ran over and grabbed the <a href="http://sluglug.ucsc.edu/macromedia/site_ucsc.html">new rpms</a>.

my first task, is that i wanted to use audrey as a digital photo frame - i.e. have it rotate through a bunch of my digital images (stored on my fileserver). after some digging (and disappointment that many projects seem to have disappeared), i came across <a href="http://bloodyeck.com/projects/audrey/">this site</a>. after some struggling with it (thanks for your help alex!) i managed to get it working the way i wanted. you can almost see the results in the attached photo.

so, i've been really lax in my contributions to the gallery project... stemming largely from just being busy with other things. since none of my work centers around gallery (and probably wont in the near future), it has been hard to focus any real attention on helping get gallery2 out the door :(

<a href="http://ibiblio.org/sbw/blog">blake</a> and i have discussed a couple times, that this would be an awesome outlet for <a href="http://www.netjuke.org/">netjuke</a>. i hope more and more artists will realize the power they can have with this approach (and i hope that netjuke becomes their platform of choice). it's been a long time since i've listened to any they might be giants... but i think i'll buy an album based on principle. :)

one thing that i really dig, is that there are "ebuilds" for a couple of the other distributions' artwork packages (notably redhat and <a href="http://www.ximian.com/">ximian</a>). one of the main reasons i kept trying fedora was because i really like the <a href="http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/artwork/">bluecurve</a> theme. well, on gentoo it's a simple "<code>emerge redhat-artwork</code> " away.

so, much like some <a href="http://boris.bmannconsulting.com/">friends</a> of <a href="http://www.jluster.org/">mine</a>, i've been playing a bit with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">flickr</a> lately. it's a really cool service, with lots of neat <a href="http://www.flash.com/">flash</a>-based gizmos - but for those of you that don't know, essentially flickr is a place to store photos and share them with your friends and family.
|
||||
|
||||
what's really cool is it seems like they add new features almost faster than i can keep up with. you can include a feed of your latest flickr photos on your own site (as I've done over there -->). but another really cool trick is annotating pictures. to play around with it, i uploaded a random shot of my desk (with all my little geek toys on display - amongst the mess). well, almost as quickly as i'd gotten <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=80233">this picture</a> online, <a href="http://boris.bmannconsulting.com/">boris</a> had marked up all the interesting bits on my desk.

while this isn't directly <a href="http://www.bryght.com/">bryght</a> related, one of the things that we've been trying to adjust to is the fact that we span 3 time-zones - which makes coordinating our efforts tricky. i know that <a href="http://www.bryght.com/about/the-team/adrian">adrian</a> bought a couple extra clocks to help himself keep track. i, however, am far too cheap for that, so i half-heartedly checked around for a platform-independent "world clock" tool. after some searching, i discovered a tool in debian called "<a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/tzwatch">tzwatch</a>" - which turns out to just be a simple shell script that simply uses date(1). of course! if you set $TZ before calling date, that is the timezone used. after getting over feeling dumb, i threw the following into a little shell script:

on the bright side, she's as cute as ever, and her second birthday was really fun because she "gets it" now. she sang happy birthday to herself, blew out the candle, and tore threw presents like an old pro. pictures will be forthcoming - i promise!
