… would also likely like this….

…. and i bet you would like it as well… so here’s a link to it :-)

forehead cramp...

no matter how many times i repeatedly rub my forehead, the twitchy sensation of a forehead cramp remains…. it’s that stretched out, taught like a tiger feeling that comes from being pushed and pulled in 42,000 different directions, and not one of them good.  It’s the feeling of simply wanting to be away someplace else.

/me thows out the white flag. 

my wish for web 2.0

can a web 2.0 guru make me something so that i can easily keep track of the houses and neighbourhoods i am interested in, and make a google map mashup that goes against the mls.ca listings for houses?

:-)

i can see i am going to have to go this alone - and see if i can cobble a few web 2.0 apps into doing this…. i remember some other silly map thing that lets you do more than the obvious….

stay tuned.

the little baby jesus is smiling. 

narrowing down the neighbourhoods...

… gulp.

 

 the trick now…. satisfy the requirements set out before me, before we can really entertain the idea of moving, and there are MANY requirements, least of all the discussion of commuting…. this house is NOT 7 minutes from (the company that shall remain nameless). Crap.

oh - and the house to the left of this is NOT drawn to scale of the houses i am really looking at ;-) This house simply piques my interest, it doesn’t look like a subdivision house.  This is key, and something hard to find in an area like the GTA, where damn near everything that has been built in the past 10 years looks like a cookie cutter version of everything else. The rule is, no cookies.       

i know a man...

… who happens to have a wacky affinity for bizarro clocks…. and his birthday is coming up….

 
 

whadda ya think???? :-)
It’s available here. 

i hafta say - it’s a wee bit hilarious. 

groundhogs and DNS...

…. whay back when i was a wee sysadmin type at an even wee-er isp, back in the good ole days, i got to be the one to register domain names…. wiartonwillie.org, wiarton-willie.org, mebbe even wiartonwilllie.on.ca

it seems that one of them has survived, which is always comforting.  one likes to see the continuation of one’s work - like a legacy for those who come after ;-) 

okokok - fer gawd’s  sake, it’s just a frigging domain name - i got it. It’s still alive - and it’s been usurped by a higher power - go willie!

So - go out and see if you can see a shadow today. Good luck willie,  you wiley little colour deprived rodent…
