Cycling East

At the end of the school semester I'm taking off on my bike on a 6500 km Journey. Were your intrepid explorer will scale mountains ride across prairie fields, and hopefully have fun doing it... and not die. There was a lawyer died last year in Ontario.

I almost got hit crossing the street the other day. I saw this car come and he was pretty far from the intersection, and i started to cross, since the walking guy came on. By the time I got to the middle of the road he was still bombing around the corner.

I ordered a rear wheel with a flip flop hub on it and a crank set. I got it from IRO Cycle since I've heard good things from them on the internet. I can't wait till it comes in, next week maybe.

Vim Blogger Plugin

I found this great plug-in for Vim to post to Pleasant Cemetery. I found it at Vim Plugin It's quite useful. I haven't installed a plug-in for Vim before, but it was pretty easy. I had to make the ~/.vim directory as it suggested in the post. Untar it and create file-type.vim file with a .blogger file-type.

A Secwepemc Course -- Part II

I spent the last few days at home working on A Secwepemc Course. It's about half transcribed. I only ended up sending it out to a couple people. I'll probably just end up doing it all myself. I think I can easily do one lesson a day.


I've been learning a few things every day. Secwepemctsin is a rich and wondeful language, that I wish was promoted more in and around Kamloops, by schools, the government, and every other thing in the world.


I've been using vim to edit the LaTeX file and it's proving to be quite useful. If I was using any other program it would take forever I really like the VISUAL BLOCK environment so useful.

A good Day

I rode my bike to school today. I left at 9:00 and got there at 9:25. The bike ride was beautiful, it's nice going up West St. Paul in the morning. If it weren't for all the cars I see below on the Bridge, it would be a beautiful view. Who am I kidding it's still beautiful.



I'm going to have to start leaving earlier to school so I can start swimming. They still haven't posted the information for the 2007 Kids-To-Camp Mini-Triatholon, but I'm sure it's at the end of April. That gives me plenty of time to work on my stroke.
