Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| One of those email quotes of the day; Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit
graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor
by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Earth orbit slows no more,
baffling scientists. (PDF) This CNN story
reports that the need to add a "leap second" to the year each year since
1972 is no longer necessary as the earth's orbit is now apparently constant. |

Ensign Notes
|
| Still pretty much trying to get in gear, all of the family here so doing what can

 New Advents Facing
a New Year- Tuesday
December 30, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The new year is filled with adventure for
those who follow and support politics in this fair land. The new Conservative Party
is anointing Stephen Harper and the new prime minister will send us all to the polls
in the spring. Ah! just the winter to get through.

 So you got a camera
for Christmas, Now what?- Saturday
December 27, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The magic of picture taking is less than a
positive experience if you expect things to happen without planning and forethought.
This is a bit of advise on how to make the results useful and useable for you.

 May the blessing
of Christmas be with you all- Wednesday
December 24, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Charles Dickens captured the wonder of Christmas
in his "Christmas Carol" and we all remember the line from
Tiny Tim "God Bless us everyone."

by: Timothy W. Shire

began and it has been rising ever since. We celebrate this occassion with a set of

 Christmas baking- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Of course you can go to the bakery but if you
want to give someone something that really means something, make it yourself. How
about some great cinnimon buns?

 Judge Martin’s Cabinet on
the job titles and record, not on map locations- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The very large government set forth by the new
prime minister has many wondering about costs. Knowing that the prime minister watches
the flow of money carefully he has served up a very large platter of government this
means he has two choices, either cut many existing programmes or follow the pattern
he has followed in the past creating excuses to slap on more taxes.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: Winter advances as Greenwater
folks get together for a pot luck, some fishing stories, and Porcupine's Bar is getting
