Gone Fishing with Grampa

1 comments

Lindsay loves fishies, and we had a lot fun last time Grampa took us fishing so we wanted to do it again. Finally we got ourselves together (more or less) and made it out to Rigaud in time for dinner and then some evening fishing.

Fishing with Grampa

We only caught two fish and we had to throw the bass back because it was out of season, but Lindsay seemed to have a lot of fun so I'd call the outing a success!

Thanks Grampa!

Backups?! We don't need no stinkin' bac...DATA ERROR: Abort, Retry, Panic?

0 comments

As the old adage goes: He who laughs last was checking to see if his backup job finished.

There are plenty of online polls showing that most users don't backup regularly and I was proud to NOT be one of those people.

So you can imagine my dismay when my portable USB drive failed and I lost a couple months worth files (my backup schedule was burning to CD/DVD every six months).

There's nothing like the smell of a 2-stroke in the morning!

The downside to Twitter is don't get context, you don't get explanations, you don't get the meaningful conversations that can only happen in a blog (YMMV)! So I thought I'd follow this series of tweets with a bit more background and discussion.

No honey, no money!

2 comments

I recently got a letter from the Liberal Party of Canada asking (begging) me to donate money to their "victory fund." I have to admit that in the last federal election I contributed to the Liberals (both to Brent Fullard of CAITI fame and out of some misplaced sense of civic duty to my local candidate).

But what did I get for it?! Another minority Conspiracy...uhh, I mean Conservative government and a spineless, headless Liberal party in opposition (in name only). So I'm not ready to give them any more money until I see some action - let them put their mouth where my money is!

My first question regarding the taxation of Income Trusts at the Liberal's web site, onProbation.ca has recently fallen to second place (not including the votes for all the duplicate questions). It hasn't seen any action. Judging by the site, none of the questions have seen any action since both the Accepted questions and Completed questions tags are empty.

And now the other forum where I had posted a question to Liberal leader Michael Ignatief is gone completely!!! Not just my question, but the whole forum!!!

So the Liberals better do something about the Conservatives to demonstrate they're worth my money AND my vote - or next election I'm definitely voting for the Rhinoceros party!
