I’ve been living in Montreal for the better part of the last 3 years and I’ve been thinking about the ways my life has changed in that time.
Big cities mean nothing to me anymore.
I remember growing up mostly in Quebec City and hearing the horror stories of big...

So last night at 7:10pm I got to sit down next to my trusty sidekick Beki and watch Legion. Firstly, the previews were pretty great.
The first one was about the Hot Tub Time Machine (see trailer), which looked really hilarious. I especially liked the bit where the black guy asks what colour Michael...

Watched this movie last night; thought that it might be kind of good, but sadly it didn’t end up that way at all.
There were definitely moments of terror that actually seemed pretty great suspense-wise, but because of the utter failure to create a plot and actually make a decent movie; the director...

Ah, the wonderful joys of Boxing Day.
What happened? We went to the Eaton Center in Downtown Montreal and let’s just say…it was PACKED. Stopped off at Old Navy for items and the lineup went around the store, no joke. All around. And that wasn’t even at the peak of the day yet. We finally...

NFB Video Plugin
Just made a small change to the NFB Video Plugin for Wordpress, the width/height weren’t setting correctly when you updated from an older version that used different variables.
Now the default is set to 516-337, and it should also set it to that height if your fields are empty...

So in the last couple of weeks we’ve been implementing agile practices at work (We’d done a bit, but only recently the boss decided we should all be doing it) and I really enjoy it. I’m one of those people who are actually between two teams. There’s the one team that uses the...
A post about some of the things I think about since I’ve been in Montreal.
A lot about the previews before Legion and only a little bit to say on the movie, sorry. The movie was really good, but it’s something you have to see, not hear about. Don’t expect the feeling of awesome film to last more than 24 hours though.
