  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…

  Getting a Drobo

  So work is finally going to let me get a Drobo FS and five 1TB (1000GB) hard drives. Not only do I think it will be a great dummy-proof RAID NAS, but it is something I’ve always wanted. The Drobo will let me backup the network files, and thanks 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…

  Samsung Galaxy S Update

  So Bell got me a new phone, and it looks like I got one before they went on backorder which is doubly nice. There are many people on Facebook and on other messaging boards that are continuing to complain about the Samsung Galaxy S and its poor build quality, and…

  The Flu

  Okay, I’ll admit it, when I get sick, I become a big man-baby. I just want to curl up and be taken care of, but when you are alone, you have to get up and get the things you need to feel more comfortable and it sucks. I’ve been sick…

  Netflix Canada

  So after almost two months of using it, I’m almost done with Netflix. The big issue with the service is the lack of available titles, and the slow additions of new content. I’ve come to the point where I’ve now seen pretty much everything it thinks would be three stars…

  Character Flaws

  Sometimes, when you are dealing with the ups and downs in your life, the best thing you can do is look at yourself and really judge yourself. I consider myself a good judge of character, and so when I objectively think about my own issues, I realize that I have…

  Threats

  So, I’ve been getting blog comments from someone that are pretty much threats. They say that I should watch my back, and one day they are going to get me, and other not so nice things. I don’t know who it is or why they are so angry, but it…

  Bell Samsung Galaxy S: Fail

  So, four months ago, I ran and picked up a Samsung Galaxy S from Bell. I knew that all the carriers in Canada would be getting their own version of the Samsung Galaxy S, but I couldn’t wait and despite my deep loathing for Bell, I signed up for a…
