The sicko who tortured and abused a 4 year old girl finally got sentenced today. This is a case that bothered me when I first read it and posted on it {1} {2} {3} {4} because I can’t comprehend how another human being (questionable) could do that to a little girl.
After reading everything about [...]

The work week was pretty uneventful. Regular day to day stuff and some testing and planning. I did an in-service at one of the schools as many of the teachers didn’t understand how to correctly log into the network and didn’t understand the difference between logging into the network and the workstation.

Well I can finally type again. I hate it when I can’t type and this time it was self inflicted but painful nonetheless. Self inflicted or not, the hospital in Yellowknife sucks. Here is the story.

The schools are starting to get back up to speed and last week was an easier week. A few minor things remain to be looked at but all in all a productive week.

The results of the 2006 Canadian Census was released today with a few interesting but not necessarily positive facts about us Canadians.
A record one in four Canadian families with children is headed by a single parent. To me this is a scary fact and I think it is the children that end up suffering.
The [...]

I was involved in something on Saturday evening that had me pondering what people were thinking.
When I checked in to the Canadian North counter in Edmonton and was informed that the plane would be holding for about 10 minutes while we waited for some connecting passengers to arrive. OK, so that is fair.
The [...]

Last week was a busy week with the school year starting. Work we did over the summer created a few problems at the schools but we managed to work them out.
My trip to Edmonton for meetings on the FirstClass implementation we are doing went well. I also got to spend some time with Mack, [...]
