Week 25: Monday, June 21, 2010

In honor of the World Cup, this week's post is World Cup themed! (you'll get it if you read the blog post).

So word of advice to everyone: setting up a wireless repeater network is not nearly as easy as it sounds. Theoretically it shouldn't be a problem - two routers, one set up as your main one, while the second one rebroadcasts the signal so you get better reception anywhere in the house. Unfortunately, it isn't that easy. Why am I telling you this? I've spent the better part of this evening trying to set this up, and it really isn't worth the headache.

Anyhow. Photography! That's why you're here! This week's shot was taken from my office using my trusty Canon SD750. I used the automatic macro mode to capture the raindrops on my office window.

Week 24: Monday, June 14th, 2010

So I spent the last week at the Canadian Obesity Network Student Conference, held here in Ottawa. It was a great time and I really enjoyed the experience.

This shot was taken on the final day of the conference, when we all took a boat cruise down the Rideau Canal from downtown to Lago (a bar located on Dow's Lake). The place is really spiffy - there's a giant window that looks out onto Dow's Lake and it has an absolutely beautiful view through the day.

I took this shot as we approached Dow's Lake. The buildings in the background are those of Carleton University - Canada's Capital University. Not to be confused with the University of Ottawa - Canada's University. Yeah. Those are their *actual* slogans.
