1.) August is a great time to watch whales (sun) , but

2.) the McGill Outdoor Club‘s notion of a three-person tent is not the same as ours. 😉

(And who the hell is supposed to sleep comfortably on that thermarest?)

Fantastic Graffiti in Old Montreal

Eric | August 30, 2008

Montreal is quite big but I cannot believe that it took me eight months to discover this new addition to Montreal’s public art scene. Montreal Graffiti Artist Jasmin Guerard-Alie painted this fantastic graffiti as part of a challenge by the City of Montreal. Martin Ujlaki has more about it.

This is a small recap of ISSTA 2008. It’s a little belated but I thought better late than never.

Defects workshop

On Sunday I attended Defects’08 which was the first (!) International Workshop on Defects in Large Software Systems. The group of people was kind of interesting in the sense that I knew nobody in person when I got there.
