Originally, Ambit Online was the online home of my consulting business, but the site was a perpetual one page "under construction" wonder. When the business incorporated as Abivia, this domain became my personal site. I hope you find it enjoyable.

If you're not convinced, then my blog, "It's Fixed in the Next Release" is probably as close as any rational person would want to get.

Bell's Sympatico DSL Uptime

Just how crappy is my Sympatico DSL service from Bell Canada? Well it used to be pretty good, but lately it's been shutting down overnight. Let the statistics speak for themselves.

Satisfying Incremental Changes

Wednesday, 29 April 2009 09:10

Things are starting to take shape around here. I've recently added a gallery of my rendered and raytraced work. I've added a long article describing how I came to creating and selling abstract sculpture.

These small changes are quite satisfying, and there's a lot more to come.

Ideas

Ideas are cheap. It's implementing ideas that's difficult. I have more ideas than I could ever implement, so I'm going to start recording them here in hopes that someone thinks the idea is good enough to implement.

Photography

I used to be a pretty decent photographer. Now I mostly take snapshots. I'm going to inflict some of them upon you.
