Libera programmes from the Canadian tour

We have a bunch of Libera programmes from the recent Canadian tour available for purchase. All of the proceeds will go directly to support the choir. For now, they can be purchased through Kent’s eBay account, but I will also be selling them in the near future. Here’s a link to the news article about them:

or the direct link to the current eBay auction (mine will be posted once it is available):

New quotes

I finally got around to adding the fifty new quotes that I have collected over the last several months. As usual, there is a good combination of serious and funny ones (thus the tagline for my blog). 😉 I hope you enjoy them, and no, I won’t mind if you want to keep hitting refresh to see a new one.

Faulty hardware a lot lately

I’m not sure why, but I have had a lot of service calls lately that resulted in hardware components having to be replaced. In the past couple weeks, I’ve replaced five sets of memory modules, a network adapter, three monitors, two video cards, and a hard drive. Fortunately, none of these have been on enterprise-level machines, but just on personal computers. It is strange, though, that hardware is going bad on relatively new machines. Four out of the five sets of memory modules were bad out of the box. I guess that hardware vendors are not going through rigorous enough quality testing before shipping out parts.
