Happy Spring, everyone!

So what's up? I've started my next university course, this time in Unix, and have installed Linus Mandriva on a partition on my laptop. Don't have a huge amount of hard drive space though so I'm not going to get fancy, but like the Drupal site content management program I've been playing with, I appreciate the possibilities. I love possibilities, and now that I'm working on a project at work full time that is all about possibilites, well, I'm enjoying that too.

What's going on with me is more mental impressions of things rather that major life things which I guess is a good thing. For instance, I'm currently reading Last Train to Hiroshima by Charles Pellegrino. I got it after listening to the author on Coast to Coast radio. As seems to be a common thing in this world these days over-reaction nearly killed the book: the book had a couple of errors that caused a big ruckus and the publisher pulled it. Thankfully it is going to be corrected and put out as an e-book all the while still being optioned by James Cameron for a movie. The book itself is very well written and the history is too important to bury so I am glad there is a solution for this mess.

Like many people I am saddened by the terrible earthquakes, and worried by the weather (in the US all but one state - Hawaii - had snow at one point). However, from my Ontario perspective I have been enjoying the mild winter we've had so far - especially this last couple of weeks that have been wonderful. I'm not convinced that global warming is to blame but rather climate cycles, but it is a reminder that we are at the mercy of the elements, something that as a Canadian I'm certainly aware of.

Speaking of being Canadian, the winter Olympics were amazing - for two weeks that's pretty much all we had on t.v. and that was fine, there were some incredible moments. The gold medal hockey game had that incredible finish! Now that's not going to get me any more interested in hockey than I have been, but it was good to watch that once.

I still haven't finished editing my book Off Air, but I will eventually, and I do hope that it, as well as my other two books will sell. It's time to start writing again, and whether I finish editing before I start the next book is debatable, but I do hope that at some point my books will mean something to more than just me and couple of friends.

Anyway, as I was saying I'm more contemplative these days, and hoping that I can win enough money on a lottery to sign up for Dr. Eric Pearl's reconnection seminar in Montreal, lol. I still have a lot of the same problems I had before so I'm not rehashing that again, some day some how there's an answer for everything. And no, the answer to all my everythings isn't 42.

Not much else to say, have a great start of spring and Easter everyone.

À la prochaine,
