  Drobo Update

  

  So, I’ve ordered the Drobo for work. I selected the Drobo FS as it comes with 5 drive bays, and an ethernet port. I’ve also ordered three 2TB Western Digital Green drives to put in it because they were on sale at NCIX, my favourite online computer store. I know…

  UBB: Where are We?

  So, the last I heard on the whole usage based billing front is that a review will be done, multiple hearings will be held and if UBB goes through in its current form despite all the scrutiny, then members of the government will quash it. Over 450,000 people signed the…

  Entry Fee for the USA

  So, Obama wants to charge each Canadian arriving into the US $5.50 when they cross the border in any other way than driving, and people are outraged. I don’t really understand the anger. This fee will not stop weekend shoppers from driving across the border because it doesn’t apply to…

  Miss the County of Bruce

  I remember thinking numerous times while I worked for the County that I would never miss the place, and I was right. I don’t miss Walkerton and I don’t miss some of the work I was doing, but I definitely miss all the people I work with. Every day, for…

  Barry!

  So, I went to Arnprior to visit Barry this weekend. I actually ended up doing a lot of driving, and anyone that knows me, knows I hate driving. I went to Arnprior on Friday, then Ottawa on Saturday, and back to Arnprior before returning to Brockville. It was nice to…

  Visiting My Uncle

  So on the weekend I went to visit my Uncle and his family in Ottawa, for the first time on my own. I’ve almost always had someone else with me, be it my brother, mother, or ex, so I actually had a bit of anxiety about visiting alone, especially since…

  Canadian Internet Issue: Usage Based Billing

  The Internet was supposed to be the great equalizer, a source for people to be creative, and as Canada starts to finally get more multimedia online thanks to Netflix and other sources, we get squeezed by the major ISP’s for using the Internet more. If you think you pay lots…
