Sometimes I wonder about companies. I really do. I got a new wireless router this month and decided to try and set it up. It’s a Netgear router, which you’d think would work flawlessly. At least I did. Silly me. Here’s what happened.
1. Buy Netgear wireless router
2. Connect as instructed in documentation
3. Ensure all lights […]
Well, after 10 days in Toronto, the whole family is back home.
Christmas with the families really was great. Flying out was traumatic (flights delayed, flights cancelled, Air Canada refusing to comp a hotel so that not only was it more expensive to fly than to drive it also took longer). But the trip was great.
It […]
Okay, heading to Toronto now. Offline until about Monday. Have a great weekend everyone! I should be at TACF on Sunday :)

I got an early Christmas gift this week. A nice, black, sleek, awesome, light, tiny RAZR!
I’ve only had it for a few hours, but so far so good. I’m not a huge gadget guy so I didn’t care that the camera was subpar. I got it for 50$ on a great plan, 6 months free […]
I’m coming to Toronto for Christmas! While normally I’d be miffed that a speaking gig had been cancelled, in this instance it means I can rebook my flight to come to T-Dot for the holidays!
Technically we’ll be in Alliston for most of it. But I’m flying in on Friday evening, thinking of coming down to […]
Every year I try and make a set of predictions. My review of my 2004 predictions gave me an overall score of “0″ for “1 completely right. 1 completely wrong. 2 vaguely right / wrong.”
For 2005 I decided to up the ante and make 10 predictions across a number of markets. Here they are, here’s […]
As folk may or may not know, the Canadian Elections are on right now. Canadian Elections are odd, for reasons which I don’t want to get into right now.
As of this moment, I’m trying to figure out first and foremost which party I am most closely aligned with in terms of my views and priorities. […]
Dear 2005,
It’s been great getting to know you over the last number of months. I know that when 2004 first mentioned that you were coming I was a bit leery. You seemed so distant.
It probably didn’t help that I hated my job at the time, felt like my star was really starting to rise […]
I have an odd habit. Whenever I swear (and by swear I mean “ass” and “hell”, very rarely anything truly vulgar), I say “pardon my french” right afterwards.
*I* know it’s not french. The people I’m talking to know it’s not french.
Maybe I hope by tossing in an oddism, folk forget that I just swore. But […]
Ian penned a nice little follow up to this scalability / reliability / availability / uptime issue: What is 99% Uptime Anyway?
In it he gives a brief view of what different “9s” of uptime means:
Uptime Time lost in a year
98% 7.3 days
99.0% 3.7 days
99.9% 8 hours
99.99% 1 hour
99.999% 5 minutes
And he goes on to […]
