C-A-N-A-D-A

Well as you can see by the title (Canada) there will a good twist to this. -- Well a 20% discounted twist. -- I was recently in Pittsburgh, PA, USA and it was crazy. There were roads that go everywhere. You go left you end up right, you go right you end up behind where you started. I'm not saying its a bad city, on the contrary, its nice. I always find though that being in the USA leaves a feeling of homesickness. It is a strange and different land than Canada. Different rules of the road, different street sign corners, different tax rates. But after looking at home somethings are run there it really makes our government system look odd. (But thats another story).

With that being said, here are some of my favourite things about Canada:

1. The Flag - the colours of red and white (although the bars should be blue) are nice and simple. Same with the layout, not overly complicated.
2. The Tax - Ok, so this one sounds horiable (and it is) but it is dependable. We can always count of good ol' 6% G.S.T and the P.S.T (8% in Ont) to be added on top of almost everything that we buy. Its not hidden with in (that might be easier on our brains though) its right there on the bill.
3. Our Music - Sarah McLachlan, Barenaked Ladies, Avril Lavigne, Diana Krall, Jann Arden, Alanis Morissette, Kim Stockwood, Holy Cole, Gordan Lightfoot, and many many more.
4. There is to many other things to list. An honourable mention goes to Alfred Graham Bell.

Ok so this post wasn't as good as the last, but I wasn't in the right mindset. I will come up with new ideas as human perceived duration chugs along in it constant direction of forward.

The First Post by Scott (FPS)

Hello fokes. I will start by saying that I have no clue who will read this. With my luck it won't be anyone and what I am typing will just be lost in cyberspace just like the 200+ million other blogs that aren't being updated anymore (source BBC). There I did it, a bad reference (violates the IEEE standard), and I'm to be an Engineer. With that out of my system I guess I will introduce myself.

*******Change Scene**********
Act I

In the beginning.....[To clichéd].....It started one hot summer of 1988....[to bland].......The once was a boy who lived in Waterloo, Ontario but later moved to New Dundee (a small town outside of Kitchener) when......[this is stupid, this needs a better plot].....It was a dark and stormy night, the trees were trembling under the weight of the wind that was forcing them against their will. In a small trailer was a small boy. No more than age 4 he was shivering with fear of the fierce storm that was so frightening that he never stayed their again......[to commercial like]....[screw it].....

Act II

Collin: Whats this?
Scott: Its called Linux, its another operating system. Kind of like Windows but not.
Shakespeare: Where's the iambic pentametre?
(Aside) Scott: Take that [sends Shakespeare running scared with his awesome knowledge of futuristic technology]
Collin: Wow, I will have to try this out.
Scott: Go ahead its free :)
Later that year..
Collin: Scott. Linux is the best thing ever, it is now my primary operating system and I'm screwing Proprietary software (except ATI drivers because they suck and my card doesn't work otherwise) and am using oss 100% (well 99.9%).
Scott: Ok

Act III

Intermission

Act IV

Setting: University of Waterloo, in between lectures

Scott: What kind of battry does it use?
Andrei: Battry! Its battery.
Scott: Oops, battery, fine, its just how I say it....I can't help it I'm British
Andrei: Battry!!

Well thats the end. I didn't say much, did I? They might be reading and....and....I've said to much..

But seriously, I have a love for computers. I use both Windows XP MCE 2004, Ubuntu 6.10 and Xubuntu 6.06. I can't understand gamer talk, except for teh, pr0n, and well thats about my vocabulary on it. If you have any questions/comments please drop a line. If you want to say I'm stupid go right ahead, I don't really care because your stupid to! If you have read this far I congratulate you as no one ever reads my things, or leaves comments. I'm not depressed or anything, its just...

Happy New Year Everyone
