Response to Sxe Phil’s QOTD 16 Feb 2012

Phil asked about Canada and the private member’s bill C-309. This is my answer.


Wow. I guess I’m not updating as much

Hey Internet world. Sorry I haven’t typed at you in a while. Nothing to much has changed. Well something’s have. Started a company now :). Web hosting and design and IT support. Working on buying more Cisco gear to start studying for my CCNA. Something really cool for iPads, is Dropbox and cloudon. CloudOn is…


All Mac OS, but a few different things

So, I’ve been trying to use the whole launchpad in Mac OS 10.7 and it’s kind of a pain. I like the iOS feel to it, but it has a ton of Adobe junk that I never use. I was reading something on Macworld about how to fix that issue, so I will have to…


iOS 5 and Mac OS X 10.7

So I’ve been running iOS 5 on the iPhone 4 and iPad for about a week now. Something’s I love and not much I dislike so far. One thing I dislike is no included weather app and calculator app for the iPad. Don’t get me wrong, there are better options then the ones included on…


So, here we go again

Hey everyone,   I know, I know, I won’t apologize this time. It’s been a bit of time eh? So, what’s new, MAC OS 10.7 came out. I am waiting to buy it. I’m not sure of the whole no DVD thing. Apple and Macworld say it’s great, but I will wait for 10.7.1 to…


tired, but got stuff done

So, I have no idea why the DVD drive isn’t installing on the HTPC. So I installed windows via USB. Just like I got Linux running earlier this week. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ makes a great little utility that you can install OS’s from a USB stick. As long as you have an ISO of the OS you…


Gateway 3040GZ Laptop and some other stuff

So, the issue with the laptop is that the DC power adaptor plug got broken off in the DC port on the laptop. So as a favour, I’m fixing it. My first plan was to remove the dc port and just remove the broken plug. Sadly that didn’t work. So, a quick google search found…


Testing HTPC

Instead of waiting for the DVD drive to show up, which according to Purolator, it left Vancouver on the 19th of May and still isn’t here yet. I gave up on that and am installing Ubuntu 11.04 from USB to the PC. I started with a live boot, then just decieded to install it anyways….


Again with the updates

So I am still waiting on the DVD drive 🙁 Purolator can’t even find it right now. I think their site might be down for maintenance or something. I am yet to even fire up the htpc yet. I might do that tomorrow just to make sure it posts then fill in my rebate forms……


So some updates

Truck tailgate got buffed out yesterday by my buddy. Looks very good. We might get away with it and a touch up pen. More to follow on that. Installing Mac OS X 10.6 on the Mac Mini again. I need to find something to do with it. It just gets new OS installed on it…
