This is the screenshot of my other blog shown on the Windows 7 Beta that I'm testing on this once-upon-a-time Vista PC. I liked Vista so much, I couldn't wait to trash it in favour of this Windows 7 Beta, which is already a wonderfully-improved and solid version of Windows. And if it can withstand me and all my dumb mistakes on a computer, you just know this is going to be a truly "bulletproof" O/S. This is to computer operating systems what Barack Obama is to the former Bush administration....
Enjoy your day, Everyone!

My latest burning-the-midnight-oil project is testing a copy of Windows 7 Beta, and I love it!
This is what Vista should have been but wasn't, and I can hardly wait for this one to be released.
Already, it feels and acts like an old friend you just know you can trust....you should grab a copy
of this beta while it's still available, and get a head start on the future :)

"And where might those be?", you ask....
They'd be over here and may help if you're having fun setting up a home network.
Enjoy your day, Everyone!

It took a while, but I made it yesterday. The blog for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays is finally underneath instead of above my rank. Was it that last hurricane that did it? They'll never tell! Neither will I because I don't know... Enjoy your day, everyone.

It was a tough climb...

...that his latest rant is over here for those who would like to see it. For those who wouldn't like to see it, it can still be found right here!
Enjoy your day, Everyone.

My rating's been slipping drastically on Google lately, because I haven't been using my
old original nickname in my blogs. Maybe I'm vain, but a nice fat rating improves my disposition remarkably. I enjoy acceptance. But there's no 'free lunch', so if you want
the ratings, you have to earn them somehow, because nothing's forever.
So, Dear Google, reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I am, in fact, still very
much alive and kicking. Well, alive, anyway. Kicking isn't on the agenda just now, because
I'm recovering from some surgery to the old belly which involved four and a half hours on the operating table, and an incision eight and a half inches long from north to south. To the east and west of that, things are still more than a bit tender. But the good news is, I'm here
to be able to say so.
And if the Good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll try to think up something
thought-provoking to write about, any day now. I can't promise you a scintillating essay
the likes of which Samantha is famous for, but I'll think of something - like for example,
why are some of the big eastern ISPs throttling back on their users' bandwidth allowances?
Is this a trend of the future? A scam to extract more money from us? Or what? If you can
find out, please add a comment here for the rest of us. And stay tuned, Folks...

I think the combined distractions of work, travel, new responsibilities and my absolute addiction to the U.S. elections (yes I am drinking the Obama-Kool-Aid) I've been a little neglectful of VancouverVibe.ca and the blog. The good news is, things are back in motion! We've got a few cool new updates based on user-feedback in the pipeline and I would like to share them with you now:
- The Fancy-Shmancy Bookmarklet: Okay, it's not that fancy. Basically, if you're a Firefox or Safari user, simply drag our Bookmarklet (below) into your Bookmarks Bar. Now whenever you find a story you like, click on the Bookmarklet and it will fill in the URL and Title for you on VancouverVibe.ca and you're off to the races!

There have been some improvements made in the past day or so to the software and programming for this website, and you might like to familiarize yourself with some of those new conveniences.
Richard, our Webmaster and Chief Fixer-Upper has posted a comment here on page two, under the blog titled More thoughts on the new BC Transit Plan (second-last comment) which is headed as URLs now clickable and I feel this is important enough to warrant mentioning up front here on the front page. Richard has put a lot of time & effort into this, so please check it out.
