Alberta 2007 – Banff
We checked into the Rundlestone Lodge, a newer small hotel off the main drag. The girl at the front desk was very helpful and called with some information about a breakfast time; she also forgot to apply our AAA discount … Continue reading
Alberta 2007 – The Road to Banff
Up early to hit the camera store. Contract for them to dump my 256Mb CF card onto a CD — it’s full, and I didn’t want to run out of space. Head back to the Athabasca, ate a wonderful breakfast … Continue reading
Alberta 2007 – Jasper Evening
We stayed at the Athabasca Hotel in Jasper, centrally located and loaded with personality. It looked like an old Western hotel, and Eric’s room certainly did with a single washstand, and bed – and that’s it. He had a common … Continue reading
Alberta 2007 – Friday – The Road to Jasper
Eric dropped Dave off at the airport at 5:00AM (thanks, Eric) and we met him for breakfast at 8AM. He was the worse for wear, since, at 12:30AM, the floor fire alarm went off, scaring the heck out of us, … Continue reading

cimgnum – Canon Image Support
I use a Canon PowerShot A70 — basic, ok, easy that uses AA batteries (rechargeable, but resuppliable in a pinch). You never use the USB cable – too slow and sucks batteries. I pop the CF card and copy them … Continue reading
Tequila Sunset Redux
Just found a bottle of Cuervo Reposado Tradicional Limited Production in the liquor crate. So here we go again with the taste test. Cazadores Reposado: if you breathe it enough, it bites a bit. Nothing going down, but a warm … Continue reading
Tequila Sunset
I heard a program on YouTube from the Today shows talking about tequilas. I hated the show — too much mugging for the camera and bad drunk jokes, but some good info. I love margaritas but never considered the tequila, … Continue reading
PocoMail – POPFile integration scripts
I use PocoMail for email and POPFile for spam filtering. PocoMail eliminates all the script viruses and since attachments are just saved down to the disk in a folder, my AVG Anti-Virus just picks them right up. No Outlook specfic … Continue reading
