Logitech Harmony 880 Setup On Linux

Ontario/Québec Earthquake

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Felt an earthquake today. The last time there was a tremor in Ontario — which was a long time ago so don’t ask me when — I was in a car and didn’t feel anything due to a fantastic Toyota suspension.

It felt like a really big guy was walking across the roof of our building in Oakville pulling a HVAC system or something.

Technical details of the event are here. USGS is calling it a 5.5 magnitude:

New Roof

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Working from home today as the roofers are working away stripping the old two layers off, hammering down the decking and reconfiguring our vents.

So far so good — no headache yet. We’ll see when they start laying shingles. I may have to disappear for a while.
