Vacation time. Looks like I picked a good weekend to go north.

@thurloat Other sets of bonus points available when you have the expert rating, but list all the previous levels as well.

In totally unrelated news, I subscribe to The Globe and Mail.

My experience has been that your tolerability as a person is inversely proportional the alphabet soup you put in your signature/bio listing your credentials.

Bonus intolerability when those credentials are accountant/finance certifications.

@calvin C'mon, everyone loves fscanf.

I think the most telling part of this piece is that some people felt the need to tell the reporter they felt bad for her, but did nothing to stop it.

@calvin According to IBM, pax. Or tar. Maybe.

This is a long read, and worth the attention.

@KitRedgrave My secret is that I'm always angry at it.

@calvin And Netbeans is outside the door saying, "I want to win too!"

@calvin It does not change the fact that I love using them.

@Modern_Industrial I mostly agree. The thing is, it didn't matter who was leading the PCs. Things were going to change, even if they didn't have to. That's the part that depresses me.

But what really depresses me is that people will justify their choice, even if it hurts them (which it will). This will be evident with hydro in short order, but the gov't will be able to blame the previous one for a while.

@calvin noun: technical artistic expression of a guess.

@ink_slinger @Canageek Polls just closed. I don't really want to watch the results. At the same time, I don't want to wake up and find out.

@ink_slinger @Canageek It's mostly a deep hatred of Kathleen Wynne. The Liberals have been the gov't for 15 years so a change isn't surprising, but wow, people really don't like her. (I think she's decent.)

Hydro rates are another big thing. And the corruption issues a couple of years ago.

The province is not doing terribly, but many people have been convinced it's a disaster.
