New computer

I have a new computer. Seems to work well - I've found the power button and something happens when pressed.

On a more exciting note, Veronica and I return to Montreal at the beginning of Sep and Oct in 2008, and, in 2009, we're back in Newfoundland. I expect that we'll be discovering Gros Morne's Long Range in 2009 as well. The wonders of weddings.

Next Fall (that's right, it's still Fall here) we're hoping to walk the West Coast Trail. Should be fun.

Let's laugh at Microsoft

For my research, I'm creating a windows Live ID. The goal is to get into the Microsoft (MS) health vault so that I can snoop around and see how it works; or at least see what MS is doing. When you sign up for any type of web-id you usually need to provide far more information than is actually required; and, of course, you enter a password. Some companies, like MS, insist that you have a security question that they use to help make sure you are, you. The funny thing is that MS force you to answer any of these questions using 5 characters. Some I chose "Name of first pet" (MS can't even formulate a question) and I have no choice but to change my pet's name to something 5 characters, or more, long. They're idiots (this is a wonderful overgeneralization based on one small problem but they're still idiots).

Oh ya, all the info I'm entering is completely bogus.
