I went outside to go to work today, and my balls almost fell off from the cold. Winter is coming! 15cm (!) of snow coming overnight. Toronto is not the only place getting snow :) The past 7 days 50cm of snow has already fell at Whistler :) Oh yeah, and it can be too cold for snow to fall.

It's been a pretty uneventful week. But little things to mention.

Project Appleseed is in the final stages. The machine boots up and runs OS X (10.2.0). I am getting some kernel panics though (the Unix Equivilant of "Blue Screen of Death"). Poking around the net leads me to beleive its a memory issue. So I took out a 512 DIMM from my mac workstation at work and I am going to use that memory module in my machine to see if that fixes stuff. If so, then it looks like I am going to have to make sure I get "Apple Approved" PC133 DIMMS.

I really hope its not the CPUs that are casing the problem. Since its going to be much harder to replace. There is a small feeling inside me that blames the CPUs. Infact, I think its only ONE of the CPUs that is causing the problem. Sometimes only half the apps I am running freeze, while the rest of the box remains somewhat responsive. The kernel panic log suggests the problem is with the CPU too:

The Department of Foreign Affairs has issued a rare Global Security travel advisory. Usually travel advisories are issued on a per country basis, not for the entire globe. All in all, its pretty much saying whatch out for terrorists stuff.

Let the car juggling begin! Can't park on the street anymore (well between 2am - 6am). Take a look at some of the other lame by-laws my city has here. I really wish they would accomodate street parkers better. In most cities you usually park on one side of the street for the first half of the month, then on the other side. So why can't you park on the street, you ask? Snow. The snow plows can't clear the roads efficiently when there are cars parked on the road. Yet apparantly every other city can do so, with cars parked on one side of the road.

Those crazy germans! A new world record of the number of domino chain reaction. It took over 90 minutes to complete. Here is a translated page of the event.

Room is clean (yay!), Still need to get hair cut though.
