You know how everyone has ‘A GUY’ that knows a guy that can get something done, or has the answer to a question?

Well I have come to a realization in my life that I AM THAT GUY! When I was a kid my parents used to call me a know it all because I had an answer for everything and was able to solve most problems. I always looked at everything and wanted to figure out how to make it better than it was. Through my years I have never really owned anything that I left stock. Always tweaking, modifying or editing things to make them better and function the way I wanted them to.

As I got older and began working different jobs I was always able to look at process and procedure and figure out a more effecient way of doing things. I was never shy about giving myt opinion or answering a question for people. Most of the time I was just ignored when I gave my opinion on a topic or a situation. If not ignored many people just said things like “What do you know?”, “It is what it is!”, “Your too young, in a few years you will see that this is the best way.”

A few years have past and I have said the words “I told you so…” far too often for my liking, so for a while I stopped giving my input and helping people. The funny think is though that my phone keeps ringing with people asking me if I know how to do something or if I can help them with something. I am that guy that people call when they need an answer to something or to ask if I have a connection. I have come to welcome the fact that in my years I have learned a lot about many things. I am not a specialist in anything but a “jack of many trades” as some would call it.

Being in the computer industry I have people constantly calling me or asking for assistance in specific areas or to figure out how to do something. There are so many people that I meet in my business that initially don’t beleive the amount of knowledge I have and the ability I have to design/redesign procedures to make them more efficient.

Other than tooting my own horn of course I have decided that to help unload this knowledge and share it with people I will start using this blog as a place for anyone to ask me a question about anything and I will offer up my opinion or solution to a problem. If you have a question or a problem that you need a solution for then feel free to leave a comment on this post and I will try to offer up my solution. Take my feedback, use my advice or just ignore me it really does not matter but the offer is there!

Just me trying to give back a little to the world…

A rant I wish I didn’t have to make. Some people in society never cease to amaze and disgust me.

The expression no good dead goes unpunished has never meant more than it does today. The fact that we have degenerated to such a low in our society today that anyone doing something from the goodness of their heart comes under attack by barely human individuals that have nothing better to do than to try and discredit the actions of another.

Recently a tragedy hit my company (Mk2 Business Solutions) where my lead programmer/best friend’s sister was in a tragic car accident and is in ICU. I am not going to go over any details here as this is not the forum for the topic. I decided to use my companies hosting server and resources to create a website for my best friend to help the rest of the out of town family to keep up to date with his sister’s progress. The site also takes donations to help her in her recovery process. Everything was built and setup in a transparent nature and we even contacted a local newspaper which ran a story on her status and the launch of the site to help create awareness for her situation.

I thought nothing of doing this to help my best friend and his family during this terrible time. My heart goes out to him and his family and I wanted to do something to help them through this crisis. It is impossible to sit idly by as someone so close to you is going through so much pain.

Within 1 week of the newspaper article people that are of no blood relation at all to my best friends sister are PUBLICLY questioning the intentions of the site and where the proceeds are going. Upon hearing this news my heart hit the floor. I could not believe that people believe that someone cannot do a good deed without having to try and slander them publicly and question their intentions.

I know who these people are and as much as I want to return the favor you have done for me I refrain. See I wanted to do something to help  a friend in need and you have tried to discredit me and my company. That is disgusting and low, lower than low. You have no morals and are barely human. It is people like you that have caused the death of the “Nice Guy”. No one wants to do anything out of the goodness of their heart anymore because people like you cause them pain and anguish for their actions.

The good that comes from this is that THIS nice guy is not dead, you cannot shut down the site and as far as the credibility of the site goes. BRING IT ON! There is nothing sinister or treacherous here, well aside from you that is. This site in question is jennymaguire.com and yes WE know exactly who the slandering parties are!

From one nice guy to those that try to stomp nice guys down. You haven’t crushed our will and we will continue to do good things even though disgusting creatures like yourselves try to discredit us.

What goes around comes around and I warn you KARMA is a bitch…

I don’t know about you but this smear campaign that Apple is continuing with, attacking Vista over and over again is getting on my nerves. Steve Jobs needs to accept the fact that PC has beaten the MAC over and over again. Windows is more versatile and accepted than Mac ever will be. You have to defense other than to smear Microsoft’s new OS. Yes Vista was laden with bugs and problems when it was first released and it caused a lot of people grief. Microsoft has since release SP1 and a host of other fixes that have made this OS a great addition to the windows family.

At my multimedia company I am using Vista64bit vista on the main workstation and Vista Home Premium on 2 laptops, Vista ultimate is installed on the tablet. There are two other computers that are running Windows XP and to be honest I nor others in the company even work on them. Vista has become almost everything that is was promised to be. There are features that have made my life at the office easier and more efficient.

As far as the mac goes I find it interesting that Apple cannot produce anything that is worthy of advertising so they have fallen back to trying to convince the world they are better than Microsoft. Seriously people get over yourselves you are beaten.

When people ask me what I do and I tell them I own a multimedia company, the most common question is “you must use a mac?”. While trying to refrain from falling on the floor laughing I explain to them that maybe in the past Mac was the platform of choice for media developers but our company is exclusively PC based. There are applications that I use that won’t run on a Mac. I need heavy GPU power for 3D applications and gaming neither of which are an Apple strength. When it comes to the brute processing power required for some of my applications there is nothing better than my Quadcore Extreme 2.66ghz Cores, 8GB of RAM, 8800GTX w/768MB DDR RAM. A $3000 machine capable of handling whatever I can through at it including playing the latest games.

Hm let me check can I get an Apple with those capabilities for $3000. Hell no that would cost tens of thousands to get that power in an apple machine. Even with the processing power the Mac would still not be able to handle playing modern games and many of the applications I use would still not run on it. So to everyone who thinks that Mac is so great and nothing compares to a mac for graphics, you are welcome to your opinion no matter how skewed it may be. At the end of the day all you Mac people can grab your I-Pods and shoe horn yourselves into your smart cars eating a tofu sandwich while the rest of us are going to have a LAN party laughing at your pretty little paper weights sitting on the desk that can’t join in the fun.

OK so I was a little harsh with the last paragraph but I am seriously fed up with seeing these ads on TV. Apple should get out of the computer game and stick to I-Pods and I-Phones it seems that its the only thing they do well. Leave the computer industry to the people that really deliver what we want and not what you tell us we want. PC is the force that drives the computer industry, lead by Microsoft Windows face the fact that Apple can’t compete.

That’s my 2 cents…

P.S. Those who live is glass houses should not through stones. As far a great release blunders does anyone remember the Mac Mini ? I didn’t see a huge smear campaign from Microsoft or the PC manufacturers when you morons thought that the Mini was a good idea. And what about the I-Lamp I mean I-Mac well what ever that stupid LCD on a desk lamp concept was. The PC companies just laughed and continued to build kick A$$ boxes.

I love to post interesting emails that I receive, when I agree with the message in them. This construction worker makes such a profound statement in this message that I felt it needed to be spread around a little more. I completely agree with everything he states in this message, being from the west coast we have so many able bodied bums on the street that refuse work when it is offered them.

If they choose this lifestyle for them selves then why are we the hardworking tax paying citizens expected to support them. To make things worse I can’t even walk downtown without getting accosted by them asking for more money. Many of them have apartments and receive a welfare check on top of the large sums of money they collect by panhandling.

With all the by-laws popping up here and there why is it that the precious government won’t pass a pan handling law making it illegal to sit on the side of the road and beg for money. The worst part of it is people keep feeling sorry for these people and keep giving them money. One summer a local farmer strapped for workers rented a bus and drove downtown asking all the unemployed street folk if they wanted jobs making over minimum wage to help on the farm for the summer. The farmer came back with NOT A SINGLE WORKER. All of the “BUMS” (not politically correct but OH WELL THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE) refused the work and continued on their pan handling ways. Now come on people are we really that duped by the street people that we are to believe they all are “IN NEED”, “DOWN ON THEIR LUCK”.

I was once down on my luck and stuck on the street. 2 months and 2 Welfare checks to get on my feet and pounding the pavement till I got a job and blammo I was back in the game again. Working supporting myself and moving forward in life. If these people really wanted to be off the street then they would be. There is plenty of work, especially here on the west coast. To those that say they are too proud to work at McDonalds or Tim Hortons I say BULLS___T you are not too proud to beg for money on the side of the road, you are just too lazy to get a job.

That’s my Rant for today, I’m heading on vacation for 2 weeks but I will post again as soon as I return.

THIS GUY MAKES A GOOD POINT

This was written by a construction worker in Fort MacMurray- he sure makes a lot of sense to me!
I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig site for a FortMac construction project. I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand — I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their butt drinking beer and smoking dope.Test positive for dope or booze, no welfare cheque! Could you imagine how much money the provinces would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance cheque? Please pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don’t. Hope you will pass it along though, because something has to change in this country, and soon !!!

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand f illed up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous “yes.”

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else—the small stuff. “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
“Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked.”

The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”

Received this in my email from a family member still in Britain I thought this was hilarious and so true in areas. I had to post it, I am sure Canadians and British will love it. For all the Americans please don’t take offense to it after all it is just a joke…
(there are some statements in here that lends me to believe that the original author was originally from Britain but now resides in Canada.(the reference to metric) none the less enjoy)

To the citizens of the United States of America:

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy) .

Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary.

1. Then look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
2. The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘colour’, ‘favour’ and ‘neighbour.’ Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters, and the suffix ‘-ize’ will be replaced by the
   suffix ‘-ise’. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up ‘vocabular y’).
3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the
   reinstated letter ‘u’ and the elimination of -ize.
4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not grown up enough to handle a gun.
6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler . A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
7. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense
   of humour.
8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline)-roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.
9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
10. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
11. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one’s ears removed with a cheese grater.
12. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed t o play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Don’t try Rugby - the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us.
13. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad.
15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
16. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God save the Queen.

*Update*
I have received some information from a reliable source on Net Neutrality that the source of this post was not accurate and that this article was a hoax. For real information on the growing net neutrality issues please visit.

I received and email from someone with this message in it so I figured I would spread the word. If Bell and Telus are really stupid enough to try this then it will be the demise of their companies. The internet is FREE to all and will stay that way. For government to try and make the internet like television is ridiculous. I could go on forever. Here is the article.

A net-neutrality activist group has uncovered plans for the demise of the free Internet by 2010 in Canada. By 2012, the group says, the trend will be global.

Bell Canada and TELUS, Canada’s two largest Internet service providers (ISPs), will begin charging per-site fees on most Internet sites, reports anonymous sources within TELUS.

“It’s beyond censorship, it is killing the biggest ecosystem of free expression and freedom of speech that has ever existed,” I Power spokesperson Reese Leysen said. I Power was the first group to report on the possible changes.

Bell Canada has not returned calls or emails.

The plans made by the large telecom businesses would change the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and must pay to see each individual site beyond a certain point. Subscription browsing would be limited, extra fees would be applied to access out-of-network sites. Many sites would be blocked altogether.

“We had inside sources from bigger companies who gave us the information on how exclusivity deals are being made at this moment between ISPs and big content providers (like TV production studios and major video game publishers) to decide which web sites will be in the ’standard package’ offered to their customers, leaving all the rest of the Internet unreachable unless you pay extra subscription fees per every ‘non-standard’ site you visit,” Leysen said. “We knew the source to be 100% reliable, but we also knew the story would be highly controversial if we released the information. We did it because we knew that we’d get more official confirmations once we’d come forward with it. And indeed that is what happened. Dylan Pattyn, who is writing the soon-to-be published article for Time Magazine, received confirmation from sources within Bell Canada and TELUS after we released the information.”

The plans would in effect be economic censorship, with only the top 100 to 200 sites making the cut in the initial subscription package.

Such plans would likely favor major news outlets and suppress smaller news outlets, as the major news outlets would be free (with subscription), and alternative news outlets, like AFP, would incur a fee for every visit.

“The Internet will become a playground for billion-dollar content providers just like television is,” said Leysen. “It won’t be possible for a few teenagers in their parents’ basement to start a small site like E-bay that then grows out to be the next big thing anymore. Right now the Internet belongs to those with the greatest ideas. In the future, it’ll belong to those with the biggest budgets.”

With plans in Canada uncovered, I Power thinks that companies in the United States and other nations are also planning similar actions.

“By 2012 ISPs all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These ‘other’ sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet,” Leysen said.

Such a subscription plan could possibly restrict free speech far beyond even the current restrictions set by the governments of communist China. Not only would browsing be limited, but privacy would be invaded, as every web site viewed would likely be recorded on a bill in a manner similar to a phone bill.

Why would the ISPs institute such a plan? One word: money.

“This new subscription model is commercially far more beneficial to them than how it is now,” Leysen said. “If Fox wants to launch a new television show online, they’ll have to pay big money to all major ISPs to ensure that their new show will be offered and pushed in the ’standard package’ of sites/services/channels that people will get through their Internet access. Plus ISPs will also gain extra revenue out of people trying to access the rest of the Internet, as they’ll pay extra subscription fees for every web site they visit.”

But it’s not just the big ISPs that stand to gain.

“Marketing and big budget ‘content-pushing’ just doesn’t seem to work on the Internet, and this is something that several industries want fixed. ISPs know this and will benefit greatly by fixing this for the marketing and entertainment industry,” Leysen said.

The ISPs are said to be confident they can institute such plans through deceptive marketing and fear tactics.

“The Internet will be more and more marketed as a place full of child pornography and other horrible illegal activity in order to get people on their [the ISP's] side once they start restricting it and make it ’safer,’” Leysen said. “Unless we really make a stand for this and make sure that mainstream media thoroughly covers the issue, the whole thing will be eased in with proper marketing to make sure that most mainstream customers won’t make a big deal out of it. They will only realize what was lost long after it’s gone.”

Watching FOX13 news tonight I witnessed the most disturbing thing that I have ever seen on television ever!. Two morally corrupt american soldiers (yes I did not capitalize american as I don’t believe that it deserves it) through a puppy of a cliff in Iraq. WTF!

First of all what the hell are you arrogant pieces of filth thinking when you perform such a disgusting act? You pathetic pussies have nothing better to do than murder and innocent little puppy. Someone should through you off a cliff and laugh at you while your bones break and skin splits while you careen down the cliff side. You are not worthy of living never mind so called protecting your country. The US military gives you a non disclosed disciplinary action, they are as useless as the soldiers they employ. No wonder this behavior seems acceptable to you. You should have been court marshaled, removed from service and sent directly back to the US to face charges of animal cruelty. (Personally I would just throw you pathetic wast of skin to a pack of wild dogs and nature take care of you!)

Second why the hell would FOX13 air the entire video showing the dog get thrown and landing on the rocks below. You are as disgusting as the soldiers themselves. I have have lost all respect for this news cast. I hope the animal rights activists are all over you people. I will not post a like to the news cast as I don’t want anyone to have to witness this video. This is one of those things that will forever be burned into my memory as horrible and disturbing.

With all the controversy around the war in Iraq, it’s incidents like this that makes the rest of the world ask “What are you really doing in that country?”. If I would not be proud to be an american after watching that on the news tonight. Thank god I am not american.

Ironic it is that I actually don’t watch the news, the show that I was watching ended while I was working on a design project and the news came on. Deep into design I did not even notice that the news was playing until I looked up just as this filth was on the screen. Tonight has even more deeply ingrained the reasons why I can’t stand to watch the news, especially american news.

Well that is enough about this, if you feel that same way that I do about this atrocity PLEASE click the bookmark links and add this post to your Facebook, Digg or any other Social networking site that you are part of.

Well the Bell Mobility issues never end. This is the most corrupt organization, not only are they throttling internet connection but time and time again they are ripping off their customers.

In previous posts I have detailed the issues with Bell and its billing policies. For 6 months they over charged me for my service by $20 dollars. Each an every month I have had to call the Bell customer service ( I use the term loosely) associates to get the bill corrected every month. I spoke with an customer service associate last month who stated that I would not be charged a cancellation fee when I switch companies because of all the hassles. After hearing this from the associate I went down to Rogers and signed up for a new contract with them.

A month goes by and I get a Bell bill, on this bill they have added the $20 that was credited back to back to me the month prior and again my bill is $20 more than it is supposed to be. After another 1 hour call with the manager of Bell I was told that it was Rogers fault for not canceling the account when the port transfer went through. Passing the buck yet another thing that Bell does well, no common sense in the company I tell you. If you don’t have the number anymore you have lost the client. Well I find out to no surprise that at this point Bell will try and extort as much money as possible out of you. “Watch this we’ll punish this puny client for getting fed up with our crap and going to a competitor!”. So during this call I am told that I will have to pay the $200 cancellation fee, OMG they have a recorded call with an associate telling me that they will waive the cancellation fee. These morons won’t pull the call and verify this information, of course not cause then you would HAVE to waive the fee for me. To bring this crap to a close they decide to give me the new cancellation policy which is $100 . Wow thanks for the crappy service and the reduction in the fee that I was not supposed to pay in the first place.

The manager on the line at this time tells me that he is only doing this because “I am a Bell family customer and even though I am with another provider now I will return to Bell!” What arrogance. If you think I will ever use Bell for any service again in the future you are either delusional or insane.

With any luck this whole ordeal will be done with once the cancellation bill is paid and I won’t have to deal with these idiots anymore. This article is a warning to all Bell mobility customers, I hope you don’t get trapped with this company. With number portability in full effect now you can keep your number and move to any other cellular service out there. There are so many to choose from in this day and age .

YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE BELL FOR ANYTHING!

Lift chairs increase mobility and independence.

Well after yet another bill error on Bell Mobility’s part this month I have decided to say !@#$%^ you to bell and switched to Rogers for my business cellular provider. For starters the phones are better, the lines are better, the customer service is better.

My new LG Shine Slider phone is a piece of fine manufacturing I tell you. The box has more design in it than I have ever seen. Intricate reflective design on the entire box with a magnetic top. A wealth of accessories comes with the phone including a functioning USB transfer cable. The phone is auto detected in vista as a mass storage device accessing both the phones integrated memory and the expandable memory card slot. Unlike on my Nokia 6275i the slot is on the phone case and not under the battery so I can swap out cards anytime.

LG PC Suite was a nightmare to get installed and connected to the phone on vista but once it is installed it works very well. For the daunting task of transferring all my numbers from my non SIM card phone to the Rogers LG Shine the PC Suite enabled me to use the Laptop to enter the data and the export to the phone. What a time saver that was. The USB port also charges the phone and allows internet access using the phone as a modem. NEVER USE THIS FEATURE IT WILL COST YOU A FORTUNE IF YOU DO….. Not from experience my self but from witnessing it when I was in the cellular industry.

Well its nice to have a shiny new phone and taking some business away from the Bell organization. What a bunch of idiots “HEY LETS THROTTLE THE INTERNET” “LETS MESS UP CUSTOMERS BILLS” then they wonder why they are losing money and business. WAKE UP!!!!
