Last night Robyn and I took a walk to the Whiterock Pier. What some of you might not know, is that we moved from the WestEnd to Whiterock last week. The place we've got is actually being renovated and we are getting very close to having it finished. Which means we can finish our move. Right now all of our stuff sits in a room in boxes and whatknot. Not … Continue Reading »
Yesterday morning, during my typical checking the 'Net routine, I noticed something was amiss. When I tried going to my site (www.tyleringram.com) it was coming up at 404. Bah! I jumped over to IsItDownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com and it was reported that it was indeed down for everyone. Something, for sure was wrong. I popped over to my webhost (BlueFur.com) and their server status was green, so it wasn't a problem with them. … Continue Reading »
Alright, I just noticed something about Facebook that upsets me. Do you share your photos with people? Do you want people to be able to download your photos by just clicking on a link? Remember how I mentioned way back in the day about Facebook Owning Your Photos? Well it seems they have decided to step up their sharing of photos a notch. They now allow people to download "high resolution" … Continue Reading »
Robyn and I just got home from a wicked weekend in Whistler, that included luxury accommodations, ski and boarding in 9-inches of fresh powder to even some bobsled action. I will be writing about our adventures over the next couples days and also have something in store that a few of you might be quite interested in. Typically when we come down from Whistler, I always try and stop off at … Continue Reading »
When I woke up this morning I had a feeling that snow had accumulated on the ground here in the city, the light was different. Anyway, Robyn and I got ourselves up and out of the house for a bit of a walk around the Stanley Park seawall. Unfortunately the clouds were blanketing the North Shore Mountains, but the ground was layered with about an inch of fresh snow. I took … Continue Reading »
Photo by: Robyn Today, before Robyn headed to work we sat down and went through her photos of her recent trip to Nicaragua. A lot of them caught my eye and I'm envious of her recent travels with Kathleen, but I wanted to share one of the impressive volcano photos she took while they were there. This is also the volcano that Lonely Planet uses on the cover of the Nicaragua … Continue Reading »
As I sit here working on some code (PHP, MySQL stuff) the wind has picked up and there has been a couple of lightning flashes. I quickly set up the camera on the tripod and started doing 10 second exposures of the various area in hopes of capturing any of the lightning. Unfortunately as fast as the lightning came it was gone so I did not manage to capture any … Continue Reading »
On my way home from Cypress Mountain, I stopped off at the Cypress lookout. Luckily the rain stopped enough for me to try and do some long exposures. The downside was I didn't plan ahead and left the tripod at home. I managed to prop my Canon XSi with the EF 17-40 F4L on the stone wall that over looks West Vancouver, Stanley Park and Vancouver. It's not the sharpest but … Continue Reading »
One thing I do like about my iPhone is I can easily download some pretty neat and addictive games. Now one might ask, why am I playing games on my iPhone? Sure, the screen is fairly small, but when you need to pass some time, such as the waiting room at the Doctor's office, or sitting on the bus heading to your next destination, a game or two can help … Continue Reading »
Being a short day at school, I decided to get off the end of the line at Waterfront and walk around Coal Harbour. It was an off sight to see the sun starting to set at 3:30pm but I guess that's what Winter does for us right? Did you know that they are building a new float plane area at the new Vancouver Convention Centre? I was wondering what the cement … Continue Reading »
