"These are Aliens, Dad!"

Some have noticed that some otherwise regular discussions in class eventually turn to a discussion of, um..., ahh... well ..., poop.
The inspiration of such mudtimes no doubt erupt from experience with my three growing boys aged 6, 4, and 2. Several days may pass without reference to "it." But when the subject rears its ugly head, we usually are moved by good humour.
Today I added a "Spelling Bee" widget. My efforts were sincere, scholarly, and academic.

1 Million Spams and counting

The best story today concerns the STJ email server. Good luck to those with email inboxes that have close to 4000 messages. My sympathy as you begin deleting over over 800 pages of messages, 20 per page. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. Every email account I have has a quota, a couple megs at yahoo, a hundred megs at mac.com, 15 megs at Telus. My Telus account gets full every time a pal of mine sends pictures of his kids, and then I get no more mail. I thought that was annoying of Telus. But today . . .. I had no idea our email server had no quotas at all.
