I finally got to the polls early on Saturday and was able to vote without any delay. It was great. Took all of 10 minutes. Found this online today. Too funny. Tweet

Riding in the Courbette Magic

by Ceffyl Aedui on November 3rd, 2008 at 12:55
Posted In: Horses

I rode twice over the weekend in the Courbette Magic dressage saddle. Both times, Isis and I had really good, productive rides. She is more responsive to my leg (longer stirrups, legs in right place… yup). The more I ride in it, the more I like it. One of the ladies at the barn mentioned […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Isis and Sierra

by Ceffyl Aedui on November 6th, 2008 at 23:06
Posted In: Horses

I got out of work later than I wanted and went to the barn. First time I was able to ride this week. (First week after daylight savings time.) Something about working hard to leave at 4:30 and then getting out and realizing it’s actually 6:00 pm… and I only had 30 minutes to tack […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Blanket Woes

by Ceffyl Aedui on November 7th, 2008 at 14:03
Posted In: Horses

I ordered a new blanket from Dover Saddlery for Isis in case the weather in NC turns nasty (think winter ice storms). I wanted something that was water proof and could adjust to different temperatures.

Posted In: Tech

I went to the company soccer team game last night and took pictures. Most of the guys in my engineering group are playing (about half of them are European). Figured I’d go and cheer them on. The game was late: started at 9:30 and went until 10:30 or so. They did very well — actually […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hairstyles in Ancient Greece and Rome

by Ceffyl Aedui on November 17th, 2008 at 15:22
Posted In: Archaeology

The History Blog has a good brief peice on the history of Greek and Roman hairstyles. Some good illustrations, too. It never ceases to amaze me that some things in the ancient world are well documented, and others are not. It’s possible to define possible date ranges for Greek and Roman statues based upon depicted […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

EtherPad Brings Simultaneous Writing to the Web

by Ceffyl on November 21st, 2008 at 13:54
Posted In: General

With EtherPad, the Mac’s SubEthaEdit finally gains some company in the realm of collaborative writing, in which two or more people can edit a document and see all the edits in real time. EtherPad’s difference: It’s a Web application that de facto supports many platforms without the need for a central Mac OS X host. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Heh. Why Proofreading is important (or impotent)

by Ceffyl Aedui on November 23rd, 2008 at 17:33

If you have ever had trouble with a spell checker substituting the wrong word or not catching an inappropriate word, you’ll love this. Fair warning, there is some language that might be offensive to some. Tweet
