Sebastien St-Laurent's (AKA Sebby) WebLog

I upload feeds to "base.google.com" which essentially contains a list of all the books I have for sale on www.ParadoxalPress.com . Which is alot of books, probably about 500,000+ titles since most are drop-shipped from the distributor (hey, compressed...

One of the comments to my sarcartic "ways to pay my mortgage" posts was as follows: Well, considering that you just bought the house, you really should have budgeted for the mortgage payment already... What percentage of your income is servicing...

Ok, little rant on my part here. As I have been selling more and more on eBay, one thing I have come to realize is that people can't read! You try and make things as clear as possible in your listing description. "This is an used...", "This is a Pre...

Had lots of CNC related data to post to the site. Finally took some time this evening to go through and update the website http://www.sebbylive.com/projects/hardware/cnc-mill.aspx I've also added a donation page (I know, that's lame) but in case...

This has been such an odd weekend sleep wise. Actually spent more time sleeping than awake. Here is roughly how much I slept (as far as I can remember)... Friday : 6pm - 7:30pm (pizza came in) 9pm - 11pm (food coma nap) 1am - 7am (stupid phone rang...

Hmm... More rambling thoughs, rants and sarcastic humor on my part.... 1) Maybe I should charge a 1$ fine for every urban legend or "forward to 10 friends or you'll go to hell" emails I get from friends and relatives? I probably would be rich by now...

Here is a video I captured of the action I posted about yesterday. Not that much to look at unless you're into step motors ;)

Got the new gear I had ordered last weekend and spent a few hours hooking it up. Using Mach 3 I was finally able to get the motors turning. Now, there is a few wierd things going on in regards to the settings I have to use to get them to turn at the expected...

First of all, thanks to everyone who wrote. I already knew there was plenty of complaints about Liquidation.com out there (which I should have done my research before dealing with them). But I was surprized that a post on my blog would generate such an...

Rough month this is... My wife's uncle passed away last weekend so we had to book an emergency flight to CA for her (I stayed here as I am vacationless and the uncle isn't a direct relative). But with the travel related expenses, we're not short on money...

Finally got everything wierd and hooked up. But so this weekend I tried to get one of the motors turning. No luck. I of course don't have all the gear needed to diagnosis all the possible sources of the problems. But I do know the power supply is yielding...

Here is an interesting extract from a post ( http://psychiatrist-blog.blogspot.com/2007/05/depakote-ammonia.html ) which describes one of the odd effects Depakote may have when someone has a really bad adverse toxic effect to it. Seems that one of the...

Been a little while since I posted an update on my various health issues. So here goes :) Finger As I had mentioned, my finger started swelling up again and hurting more about 1 1/2 week after I had the stitches removed. So yesterday, they managed...
