Playing Video from your Linux PC on your Wii
Maybe you’ve watched youtube videos on your Wii using the Internet Channel or the promo videos on the Nintendo Channel and you thought it would be cool to watch other videos from your (Linux) PC. I know I did. But I wasn’t sure if it would be possible in a reasonable quality. Since then, I’ve… Continue reading Playing Video from your Linux PC on your Wii
AttrDict Python Module
I’ve been doing quite a bit of Python hacking in my recent free time. A couple days ago, I had the desire for a dictionary that I could access key values just like object attribute names. For example, in the dictionary d={‘key’:’value’}, I wanted to be able to use d.key to return ‘value’. I thought… Continue reading AttrDict Python Module
Getting Fit
Over the last few days I’ve purchased the following: New Rollerblades They seem good, but yesterday I went for a long ride around the Sea Wall (Stanley Park), along English Bay, and around False Creek to Science World and the work-in-progress Olympic Village (which looks nice!) and back to English Bay, then to Pender and… Continue reading Getting Fit
Recent Geekiness

Well, officially 2 weeks of not being gainfully employed and I’ve been making pretty good use of the time, I think! (I know, you’d expect more blog posts from someone who has more time – I’m weird). Even… Continue reading Recent Geekiness

Road Trip
In less than three days, (this Monday) I will pick up Maki at the Vancouver airport. The following day we will be leaving, southbound, for California. The plan is fairly free-form, but places I want to hit are Florence (do the Oregon sand dunes with dune-buggies!), the Oregon Coast (obviously), San Francisco, Monterey (supposedly hosts… Continue reading Road Trip
Doodles
(Had this sitting in my drafts for about a week… time to finish it up and push it out!) After setting up my Wacom Graphire tablet on my laptop (copy-pasting some xorg.conf stuff) I decided to leave it on my bed. If I leave it on, with the Gimp (graphic application) open and the tablet… Continue reading Doodles
Upgrading
Ubuntu Hardy Heron is out! [ Features | Download ] If I disappear for a while, something probably didn’t go smoothly. I almost expect a problem with my wireless drivers… :/ *click* Update: As I anticipated, my desktop had (and is still having) some troubles with the wireless. I’m currently able to connect to the… Continue reading Upgrading
Watching and Reading
(Online) Comics I’ve been reading Butternut Squash – Start at the beginning. Polished style. Crude humour. Hilarious. (Thanks for pointing this out, Jon!) Kukuburi – Start at the beginning. Elaborate style. Adventure. Bit of a slow start. Actually the plot’s still unravelling, but the art is pretty and the story is getting interesting. (By the… Continue reading Watching and Reading
