  Crystal and I are heading back to my homeland of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia for a few days to have a few beer with my friends and family, do some canal diving, and play a few rounds of golf. This counts as my super short vacation before us UNB students get back to the grind ... read more »

• I bought a “new” laptop

  August 30th, 2004 at 11:54am | 1 Comment

  Or rather, an old laptop. Last week I worked my final co-op days at NRCan and someone just happen to bring me a four year old Toshiba Portégé 3110CT to update. It was super thin yet it still had lots of features for a 4 year old laptop, I was very impressed. The only thing ... read more »

• Favorite Daily Show Clip

• Looking for Linux Automated Backup Program

  August 25th, 2004 at 8:37pm | 1 Comment

  I have been combing sourceforge.net and Google for an automated backup program like Powerquest’s Datakeeper (bundled with Partition Magic). I’ve found rsync and rdiff-backup, but neither have a GUI interface or any type of management application.
