Good Morning #Canada
December 8th, 1869, Timothy Eaton opened a small dry-goods and haberdashery business at 178 Yonge Street in the city of Toronto. From that humble start grew a national retail chain that eventually would bring Christmas Window Displays that attracted crowds for 100 years, and the tradition continues today. The heyday for the window displays was the 1940s to 1980s when Eatons and Simpsons competed for children's noses pressed up against their windows. But every store, large or small, had their own creative display in December. In the 1990s retail chains started to falter and disappear and some displays, like those from Woodwards and Ogilvys, were preserved by museums. I remember our annual visit to Eatons and Simpsons on Yonge Street in the early 60s, when Mom and Dad would load up the car with 7 kids and we'd tour the Christmas displays.

Is anyone involved in 'Glycin' - the new GTK/image loader thing? It generally looks a good safe idea; but there are some weird cases where it seems OTT. As far as I can tell, gtk forks off a 'bwrap' namespace wrapper, then runs the image parsing in a glycin process; and that process gets cleaned up when you don't do any more image loads for a while. But that means that opening a new terminal ends up doing all that just (?) to read the icon which is a secure system fi…

#RTL zeigte gestern in der RTL-Nachrichtensendung mehrfach ein lustiges Video: Eine Frau fährt in den USA in einem Leihwagen, textet die ganze Zeit, verliert die kontrolle, fährt in einen Graben und killt einen Briefkasten, die Briefe werden aus dem Kasten geschleudert und über die ganze Straße verteilt. Geschenkt, dass im vielfach wiederholten Teaser gezielt verschleiert wird, dass es keine Toten und verletzten gab. Die Fahrerin hat versucht versicherungsbetrug zu begehen, indem sie behauptete…
