My very ingenious colleague, Sean “D-List Internet Celebrity” Carruthers, hacked his new car’s keyfob to disable its panic button when he bends over.

My solution would be to STOP BENDING OVER like that.

But, hey! Different strokes dude.

Strangle the Yak Now!
ByAlfred Ayache Wed Jul 23, 2008Wed Jul 23, 2008

The spectrum auction is over, and from all accounts, the big winner of the new entrants is Globalive, which runs the “I can’t believe it’s a phone company!” Yak Communications. Myself, I can’t believe they’ve survived this long! These buffoons are so massively incompetent it staggers the imagination.

It’s been over two weeks since I blogged. It’s been busy: lots of projects at work, my sister and her husband came in to town and stayed at our place, my mother-in-law had health issues so my wife and her sisters were visiting her. As I say busy, busy. In the meantime, I’m participating in…

ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jul 25, 2008Sat Jul 26, 2008

A few weeks ago I picked up a Lexmark X9575 Wireless 4-in-1 printer, scanner, dicer, chopper, at Costco. It’s sat in the box, unopened, since then; not because I’m a lazy sloth (I am, but that’s another post, probably written by my wife), but rather because I looked up whether it was supported in Ubuntu. …

My good friend Ray got me wise to this new photo editing software called Affinity Photo. Well, it was “new” to me. It’s been around for a while, judging from all the videos about it on YouTube. I’d been grousing about how much it was costing me to have Adobe PhotoShop on my computer. I…

ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jul 18, 2008Fri Jul 18, 2008

What cool people I work with! Today at 12:30, we gathered in the boardroom with our lunches. Buddy Richard hooked up his MacBook Pro (oh! How I’m missing Bender. And it’s only the first day…) to the projector, and regaled us with the first episode of Joss Whedon’s latest effort: a micro-miniseries (3 episodes, 15…

So I Bought An iPod Touch
ByAlfred Ayache Tue Oct 14, 2008Tue Oct 14, 2008

In spite of Apple’s many transgressions, I finally caved, and bought a Touch. What transgressions? They’re suing a small Victoria, BC business school over the apple logo. The iPhone/Touch doesn’t have cut and paste. The iPhone/Touch doesn’t have an SD card slot for extra memory. The iPhone/Touch SDK comes with a punishingly harsh NDA. Ok,…
