  • It’s been a while

    It’s been a while since my last post, so here’s a quick update. Massassauga The main reason I didn’t write is because of a tiny canoe trip I took last week. Planning started on Tuesday… Noah, Ben and I left on Thursday morning, and returned Friday night. It was the best we could do with…

  • ZFS – a manly filesystem

    Sometimes people ask what I do. When I tell them, they quickly get that blank far-away stare in their eyes and wish they hadn’t asked. (Actually I have a bit of tact and make it quite simple). So, in case you really do want to know what I do, part of my job is managing…
