Strong coffee please. I just heard of the sad passing of the German actor, Bruno Ganz. Such a superb actor.

The only movie I recall seeing him in is Wings of Desire.

Comedy Central has nothing on the House Oversight and Reform Committee

We Canucks have our own bit of political theater going on in our capital. The former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General is alleging the Prime Minister's office tried to get her to shut down a prosecution of a large Quebec engineering firm (that has a long history of being a bad actor) in favor of a settlement with the company. It's all politics, as the company is a major employer in Quebec and everyone tiptoes around anything to do with that province (oh, if only they had separated in '95) and I have little to no doubt that the PMO did do it. She testified before the Commons justice committee yesterday and said what we expected, fingering some major players from the PMO (including one who's already quit over the scandal) and other senior ministries like Finance. We have an election looming in October so this may or may not influence things. We shall see.

I'm putting on the kettle to make some Earl Grey. Anyone else for tea or hot chocolate?

You think your politicians are bad? Try making sense of Brexit!

Quote by Mendalla
* puts on the kettle and sighs *

As mentioned before (I think) I am the system administrator (think Gav but without the programming skills) of a site called Wondercafe2.ca. This past weekend, I had planned to upgrade it to the latest version of the forum software we use, Xenforo. Except that early Saturday morning, the site started puking out errors periodically. I ended up trying the upgrade to see if that would fix it, after doing some other troubleshooting, but no dice. The error came up during the upgrade and crashed it. And I've now realized that my dev site, where I test things like upgrades, is doing it, too. So I am now awaiting word from the company that hosts the site (both the live one and the dev) on what may be wrong.

Quote by Mendalla
Finally got things fixed up on Monday, but I've now had to put off the upgrade. Hopefully this coming weekend. I am trying to figure why the hell I am doing this stuff in my spare time when it's also my day job. Plus I'm acting treasurer of the board (though only because we needed to raise funds for some work related to the upgrade).

Kettle's on for those who need it. Some orange pekoe with a twist of lemon for me.

I can't sleep. I should be tired, I spent most of the day working on my parent's house getting it ready to sell. Moved and got rid of quite a bit of their furniture. The goal is to get it on the market by May. Then they can finally move into a retirement community. I'll rest a lot easier when that happens.

It will be several weeks of work still ahead of me. Painting, stripping wallpaper, etc.

I'll have a ginger ale and curl up on a couch and probably doze off.

Cheers!
