What transmission for you?

One of my favourite websites is The Truth About Cars. One of the columnists there, Sajeev Mehta, has a feature called Piston Slap where you can send automotive questions. Well, I sent one, and Sajeev used it! I'm sure you care deeply and want to read it right now!

Very creative...

I thought this was a creative solution to the UK smoking ban: Pub calls itself 'smoking research centre,' and slips through cigarette ban loophole

What's happened since April 19, 2007

Alright, so it works. So what has happened to me? I still work at the same places. I've been to Europe (London; the Zurich-St. Gallen-Amriswil area of Switzerland; and Scotland). I've been to New York City. I've been to Vancouver, Seattle, and Missoula, Montana. I gave some insurance and condominium seminars in Vancouver, Regina, and Saskatoon. I bought an Alix 2d3 single board computer and am turning it into my new router, dubbo. I got an old rack mount Dell PowerEdge 2450 server (dual Pentium IIIs @ 1 GHz, 1 GiB RAM) to replace hobart as my server. It seems to be working very well. We got new cars, I a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L and Lori a 2009 Honda Fit Sport. Both have 5-speed manuals. I like driving stick. I got on Twitter, although I don't have many friends on there yet. And a few other things I'm sure.

Long time no blog

I've been a neglectful blogger. My configuration broke during an upgrade. Apparently two years have passed. If you read this, then that means I fixed it... and you might just hear from me again.
