Is there anything better than getting your e-mail in-box under control? This program is pretty e-mail heavy at the best of times but this semester and especially this week has been crazy. I chip away and get my in-box under 100 messages and 25 more come in. I literally received 40 messages today on one […]
As I head towards the end of my time at FIMS at an ever-quickening rate, I have lots of occasion …
Even though the site's owner tends to frown on non-factual Q&A's, in my opinion Ask Metafilter is at its best when it has more chatty/big-picture/experiential questions such as the recent one asking for stories about things that fathers did to build strong relationships with their daughters. Some good tips there for any parent with children […]
Shea and I whipped into Toronto today to attend the Baby and Toddler Show this afternoon. A bit disappointing in terms of the number of exhibitors but this is probably a case of us being really early in the pregnancy mixed with the fact that they weren't giving out free books like the last time […]

After a bit of a glitch (or a glit of a bitch if you're dyslexic), we're back. Got through to Customer Support at NetIdentity very quickly today and my good friend Gregory doubled my transfer limit per month from here on with no extra charge. Yay! To celebrate, let's blow some bandwidth by linking to […]
…I might as well sit here and talk to myself until I get this bandwidth issue resolved or the end of the month comes and it gets reset. Since I can still manipulate the layout of the site, I think people should be able to find me so that's good. I put up a “Read […]
Just trying to get through to my hosting company to resolve the bandwidth issue…but since they shut me off with no warning and no “cushion room” plus they have no way to manually add room to my bandwidth limit (without renewing all my services – e-mail, webhosting, etc – for a full year), I can't […]
