Weather Conditions: More more drifting snow...

I'm back. What do I have to say about Edmonton? Not much except I just ended up delivering the unit instead of installing it. Needless to say I felt unproductive, but what could I do? The weather conditions were so poor that I spent more time sitting around the airports than in the metropolitan area.

I always wonder about security checks at airports. For example, I had no issue passing through heading out, but leaving Edmonton played a different story. My belt actually set off the detection device. Not big deal, I had nothing to hide... As I was waiting in line however, I noticed that someone (not something) was being swabbed. You know what I am talking about -- notebook computers or electronic devices being swabbed and scanned. This time, however, it was a person. Looked quite embarrassing, as she was being swabbed from head to toe and side by side. I would personally feel quite violated. Nevertheless she had no choice in the matter. I wonder what was on her? Gun powder? Anthrax? Deodorant? (Thanks Broccoli as she is watching me write this out.)

The good news though was dinner last night. Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... I had so much uni there may have been tears of joy. What's uni? Look it up.

I decided to install Windows Vista and Office 2007 Professional Plus. I will have to warn you all considering this move. 512MB RAM is not a good thing... (that's what I currently have). Vista Experience Index = 2.9 (memory being the limiting factor).

Now I am sitting waiting for the Office Broccoli to finish her script, because I forgot my access card to the office. What's next, squish baby, squish. The meet will be a little thin, as 2 of us are unavailable this evening. And of course, that also means that they will miss out on the awesome meal ahead.
