Aliens Invade Kananaskis Country

Sunday, July 9th, 2006


Swimming in the Spray Lakes Reservoir . . . it was the end of a weekend camping and I was hot, sweaty, smokey, grungy and just wanted to clean up a bit before heading home. I nearly froze my extremeties off . . . given that the water source is likely glaciers, not far away.

Anyways, this was some years ago (Edit: found a reference in my email archives, it was Aug 1996). Having some fun with the pictures from that weekend on my Mac with Comic Life as you can see.

Camping With Melvin is never boring

This is from one of the “weekend in the woods” outings.

No retouching other than the ComicLife treatment. Yes, the deer really did come that close to Melvin C. Thudpucker despite the axe and lack of food in the outstretched hand. He scared it away right after this picture, hoping that it would get a clue and not hang around humans.

labelisation

This is from Arkeia Network Backup.

I just want to relabel a tape, damn you stupid gui software with the cli that plain doesn’t work . . . don’t piss me off or I’ll replace you with AMANDA.

Or a very small shell script, for that matter.
