This is my parent’s cat Molly getting some exercise.

Here is what is probably the last smoking room I’ll ever see at a newspaper. It is in the Le Devoir’s offices in Montréal.

Sniff.

Available here is a quickie remix of the Beastie Boys “That’s it” that I helped DJ Projet (AKA Patrick Walters) do using Apple’s SoundTrack Pro. Henjoy.

My observation:

He could play Gary Busey in the (I’m sure to be up-coming) Gary Busey story.

Fer serious.

Including this one of a seagull (shot from my 9th-floor balcony).

More on my Flikr page.

That would be Montréal’s old port area.
I got a lot of sun and a few pictures. Here are some of the pictures.


Later I noticed that Bob Harris (of Prisoner of Trebekistan fame) seems to have figured out the last episode of the Sopranos. Very interesting.

I guess there’s not much I can add to this beyond that you could find it yourself in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Select on Rue Viger in Montréal, Quebec.

Seen in the Uptown Coney Island parking lot, a Ferrari 456. Parked like a douche, but, hey, it’s a pretty (and pretty expensive) car.

Sam Wotring and his Aunt and Uncle at Grillin’ 2007, the Food Gatherers annual benefit. Lousy photo, but I wasn’t there to take pictures.

Jonathan Lurie was there. It was nice to see him again. He’s headed for the West Bank this week.

I added an SPF record to aaronx.org just this morning. Mail not from me should no longer mess up your inboxes.

Sorry about that, but GoDaddy leaves SPF off by default.

Found this little guy in the dumpster at work.

I provided him a cardboard ramp to escape with and left him alone.

He (or she) was terrified.

[Update] Checked back at 12:30 and he or she had taken my hint and vamoosed.

According to IsParisInJailRightNow.com, western civilization is once again safe.

No clue as to when we can get Quark 6.5 for Montreal; prolly not going on Sunday.
Stupid Sales.

[Update] Montreal’s being pushed back two days. Well, then.

Just found out that Montreal might be delayed.
Quark is being pissy about letting us have Xpress 6.5 (French Canadian version).
We’ll see.

Getting the hang of this wordpress stuff.

Doesn’t do a lot, really, but I wanted to test how scripts show up here.

Violà:

tell application "Safari"
      set theCount to the count of its windows
       repeat with x from 1 to theCount
              set theText to the text of document 1 as string
              log theText
              tell application "Finder"
                      set the clipboard to theText
              end tell
               tell application "BBEdit"
                      paste
              end tell
              close window 1
      end repeat
end tell

Looks pretty good in Safari, anyway. Oh well. Using the “pre” tags might cause some wrapping (read: not wrapping) problems, but I’ll manage.

So far today I have:

• Done a little set up on this new site
• Helped Robert get ready for what is, I think, his first solo.
• Written an AppleScript to wrap InCopy and InDesign text with pseudo-tags containing the applied stylesheet.
• Forwarded Montreal’s Quark licenses to Keely to 6.5-ize them.

Pretty dull.

Here I go again.
