Happy Fat Tuesday!
As noted on planet rome.ro, yesterday was the anniversary of the release of QTest (actually I think it was the 24th, but close enough for video games). Unbelievably, the multiplayer test for Quake was released (wait for it...) 10 years ago! Equally unbelievably this was covered here at the time (to my regret lots of older content here was deleted rather than archived). Where does the time go?
R.I.P.: WW II fighter ace Scott dies at 97.

McGill, in Montreal.
Most of the country will tell me the cold we go through is nothing, but I'm just from southern Ontario. This kind of cold is the exception rather than the rule.
Bah! Don't listen to 'em. Winter in Montreal is no foolin' around. I was at Concordia during the ice storm in '98, and that weather was insane. Never seen anything like it.
Actually, there was a great poem about it that turned up in the subway in Toronto a few years ago that I've been trying unsuccessfully to track down ever since (would love it if someone knows who wrote it).. From memory, but basically:
Ice Storm
and cars like black beetles
crawl up the side of the mountain.
I trudge toward home and am reminded
that mine is a country where a man can die
simply by being caught outdoors.

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now, even though you broke my heart and killed me.
