The posts have been pretty dry on the old site for the past week or so and for that I apologize. Working midnights and not much happening contributes to a certain famine of ideas. Nonetheless, I have a few observations to humbly offer.
Not that it is real news to anyone, but the Microsoft operating system is buggy and full of holes. Yes, we all new that but now Microsoft is actually coming out and admitting it. They are saying the piecemeal detect and patch method of security control is a feeble attempt if anything to bolster up the OS. Now they are talking about, if I understan this right, a free system upgrade for XP and 2000 users some time next year. I have my doubts that it will be any more secure than the existing version, but if it's free I'll take it.
Well, just for the fun of it I have added a new photo album over on the left which highlights the so called "pets" that have managed to weasel their way into our household. View at your own risk.
The Liberal caucus is running out of steam in Ottawa as Cretien's leadership comes to a close. The caucus meeting ended a half hour early the other day with MPs saying "There just wasn't anything more to talk about." Sounds like a typical Friday afternoon on the Hill. I guess we have to wait for the Paul Martin Show to begin before any "real" business is done now.
And another murder in Edmonton this week, just blocks from our place. We are thinking of renaming Millwoods to East L.A.
Tomorrow we are celebrating Thanksgiving with a big turkey dinner and a few people to share it with. Dianne has been making pies all day today for dessert and the odour has been wafting into the bedroom making it tough to sleep. Can't wait...
