Thursday, July 01, 2010 9:44 AM

I have decided that the forums on www.SMSUG.ca are not being used and due to some SPAMMER populating the membership list, I have closed them down.

Drinking Game?
Thursday, January 29, 2009 6:22 PM

This week I was introduced to a new drinking game. In this game you take a drink each time you see Susan Ibach (from our friend at CTE Solutions ) within this Video .

Number of post 325 Total # of web views 49042 Average # of web views 150 Total # of Agg views 96404 Average # of Agg Views 296 I wonder what... Read More...

Hourly posting status.
Monday, December 31, 2007 7:21 AM

Why am I posting this information well, 2 reasons. 1) Someone asked me how I could ensure that I posted once per day and the answer is I pre-posted lots of posts. As you can tell I used hour between 6-7 am (7-8 EST) for pre-posted blogs. Just because… 2) Ever so often I would miss posting on time so I would back post blogs J I used the 10-11 pm (11 pm-Midnight... Read More...

There have been few things that I have noticed while doing this. Each post is not the same as the next, and what I mean by that is there are some quality post and some that are not! So I will most likely after Jan 2... Read More...

Well I finally decide to purchase another laptop, after finding out what the... Read More...
