Down the Drain

Friday, June 13th, 2008

I haven’t posted about myself or about my work situation in ages. Mostly because I don’t believe it to be that interesting or note worthy. When I started this blog I saw it as an online diary that could keep track of my different impressions of what ever happens in the world. Lately I’ve been [...]

I ♥ Traffic Shaping… NOT!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A few months ago, the news broke out on Ars Technica that a Bell Sympatico employs traffic shaping to control the flow of traffic on the Internet. They claim that it is only in use during peak hours, and call it “Traffic Management”. I have always tried to stay clear of the tiresome Net Neutrality [...]

Ubuntu 7.10 - A week later

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Last week my laptop was happily refusing to boot into Windows Vista because it has been deactivated due to some troubleshooting I had to do. To keep it short, I had compressed the main drive in witch Vista was installed and could not boot. I then had to use an old Vista pre-release DVD to [...]

Facebook Rules

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

When ever I was looking through the MySpace page of some people there was always so kind of music, picture slide [...]

Windows Vista

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Just a quick update on what I’ve been using. Last summer I got around to try a few of the beta versions of Windows Vista. I kept dual booting with Windows XP because compatibility wasn’t exactly where I wanted it. Whether it is support for some of my favorite video games or some software I’m [...]

What to watch on the Web?

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

I don’t know how many people like myself don’t have cable at home, nor satellite TV. I’ve been living off over the air program which gives you a fair selection of shows. None the less it’s not like there are a lot of interesting things on TV and that I wouldn’t have the time to [...]

April Fools’ Day

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

A word of advice for anyone looking at a website today. They will make you believe anything and you’ll be a fooled by very credible sources. Google, CNET, Digg and many others. I remember when I was younger, we used to make fishes and stick it in the back of a teacher. Hoping he would [...]

I’m not a huge fan of music, guess I never developed a particular interest. I do listen to some music but it’s mostly the big hits that come on the radio. If you take a look at what’s on my MP3 player you’ll find James Blunt, Simple Plan, Brian Littrell, Mes Aïeux, and many movie [...]
