I’ve been keeping one eye on the Apple store in West Edmonton Mall ever since I was made aware of the quiet construction that was taking place.
When Apple announced the grand opening for this weekend and added the incentive of free t-shirts for the first thousand people, I had little choice but to check it out.
There is no shortage of potential iPhone users infesting the Internet with their whining and moaning about the outrageous service plans Rogers is tossing towards Canada. Not wanting to feel left out, I’m compelled to contribute two cents of my own.
Every individual has a tipping point, once that point is reached said individual will flip their potential service provider the bird and tell them to keep their f*cking iPhone. With the announcement at WWDC 2008 that Canadians would no longer be shunned, I was excited. Extremely excited.
For years I have been massively annoyed by the complete utter lack of high end Bluetooth mice. I’ve always written the issue off with an excuse along the lines of “they’ll come soon, it just takes time for the industry to adopt a new technology.”
Enough! I’m tired of waiting! I didn’t want to do this, but I no longer have a choice. I will now whine profusively about the issue. With any luck, maybe some executive at a major peripheral manufacturer will get a clue and build a new mouse just for me (I’m looking at you Logitech!) I’m going to pick on Logitech in specific only because they have been my favorite manufacturer of computer mice for as long as I can remember.
After nearly six years with Triton Networking Solutions Ltd. today marked my last official day.
Shortly after the merger of Tera-Byte’s wireless internet service with Triton’s AirSurfer Wireless Network I decided to move on. Although I’ve enjoyed my position at Triton, the opportunity of a new position in a different organization was too enticing to turn down. Sometimes change is just welcome after a long stay in the same position for years on end.
For the time being I’m running twelve hour NOC shifts while I familiarize myself with the organizations business and systems. Later it’ll be back to my regular 9-5 lifestyle.
Although I’m not yet 100% clear on what this new position will entail, I look forward to the challenges that it will bring from this point forward.
Not being a man of patience, I figured with the final release of Gnome 2.22 included in the latest Hardy Beta, now would be a good time to jump on the Hardy band-wagon.
Everything seems to be working solid. They’ve even included the previously missing Keyspan module. Woo hoo!
Unfortunately I did run into one major issue, Compiz completely stopped working after the upgrade.
