T.O. is under water, and other news
Holy crap is it raining. St. James Park across the street is now St. James River, flowing right down the middle of the park and emptying into King St. Oh, we got a Nintendo Wii 😉 Boy is it fun.
An interesting observation
My boss pointed out yesterday that, at our little office of 16 people, I’ve been there the 5th longest. Spooky.
Morning conversations…
Yesterday morning: RING RING… TekSavvy technical support, Nick speaking… Hi, my DSL is flapping up and down yet again, can you run a sync test please? Sure thing sir… yes, wow, your stats are terrible – this must be a line problem – would you like me to open a ticket with Bell? YES – […]
Impressions: Pepper Pad 3 vs. Pad 2
Pepper Pad 3 vs. Pad 2, originally uploaded by chuma_. Showing up about a week early is my wife’s Pepper Pad 3. I thought the Pad 2 was pretty darn cool, but the new model is a definite improvement. First of all it came pre-loaded with Pepper Keeper 3.0, which I can’t wait to get […]

Turn left, young man
On Saturday we went to the weekly stock car races at Mosport and I brought Calum along to take some photos of cars going in a circle really really fast. Amateur oval racing, that is. His photo gallery is here and there are some nice shots there.
The Poor Man’s TeleZapper – or, the selective TeleZapper
Perhaps you’ve heard of a unique device called the TeleZapper. It’s a simple device which is designed to automatically disconnect and delete your number from their call list. But how?
