Went sailing yesterday afternoon. It was very pleasant :)

A view from the stern of the boat, a bit of rigging blurred in the right side of the foreground. In the distance, the historic Race Rocks Lighthouse on its small craggy islets. Behind them, the snow-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountain Range in Washington State are backlit by a moody, cloudy winter sky ... with just a hint of sunlight peeking through.

Went sailing today! Dec 29. 7C. It was a lovely afternoon out on the water. We weren't even the only sailboat out there.
View from the cockpit of a Catalina 27, mainsail up, horizon slightly crooked, cloudy sky. The area above the companionway has a blue canvas dodger, which is very useful on days like this. Sure, it's not freezing, but the wind will give you a chill for sure.

Spotted the old BCTel logo in the wild just now.
Above the skating arena schedule, a phone routing box painted in white with the BCTel logo on it (a blue sticker with two lighter-blue triangles on it representing, I think, the rocky mountains.

Today I went rowing for the first time in several months. It was pouring rain, I got pretty soaked despite my waterproof gear, and there was some wind, too.

Oh, and the Grinch was there!

Much fun was had.

Several paddleboarders and kayakers paddle away from the camera, heading toward some trees. They are dressed in christmassy accoutrements. The sky is grey. Raindrops are falling, streaking through the sky and slamming into the water.

It's been very rainy of late. I haven't gotten out much, but this evening I had a chance to get some photos of downtown Victoria in the rain.

A corner of a Victoria street at night, slick with rain, illuminated by various lights. Tall-ish buildings in the background. Raindrops on the lens. Red and orange and white Light-trails streak across the middle of the photo, reflecting off the rainy surfaces.

LMAO. Thank you, NextCloud, for giving me a laugh.

Filename: "Server rules and content moderation.odt"
The nextcloud iOS interface, which has clipped the filename to "Server rules and c...nt moderation.odt", which seems very offensive.

I love the "can't decrypt election results" story. Firstly, because it's so incredibly silly. And secondly, because it was actually working as intended.

If you want real life to be like the Severnaya Launch Sequence in GoldenEye, you must always prepare yourself for Boris.

Mushrooms on a branch

Some white mushrooms sprouting out of a mossy cracked tree branch on a forest path on vancouver island (the wet coast)

I'm told that #mushtodon is a thing, so here are some #monday #mushrooms
A mossy tree branch with several white mushrooms growing from it. From the fore to the back, they get increasingly larger. There is a bokeh effect in the background. Two orange mushrooms tucked between moss and leafy detritus on the forest floor.

Flashbacks to 2011 when badges were all the rage.

In a world chock full of epic incompetence, I think it's difficult for a spy show to be as cool and collected as they are supposed to be.

That's why I'm so happy that Slow Horses has continued to embrace the chaotic stupidity that is the modern experience of political intrigue.

RIP Alex Tilley. Your hats were the real deal. I still have this one, despite almost losing it in the ocean - twice.

@sean awesome tool, thanks! It's definitely not happy with me :(
It says google hates me, there's no SPF or anything, and it's not IPv6. I did declare SPF in the DNS, though, so something's clearly wrong.

A photo I took many years ago ... #php
A bronze baby elephant statue in a hotel lobby, with two php Elephpants perched on it. One of the Elephpants is the grey Roave one, the other is the TrueNorth woolly mammoth Elephpant. The face of the bronze elephant has subtle rainbow light splashing on it, from a crystal (off-camera) that was refracting the daylight and casting mini rainbows everywhere.
