Silly Accents
I have recognized after many years that every time I think or say something extremely ridiculous I think or say it with a Monty Python accent.
This subsequently feeds the whole silliness thing and makes the accent grow even more ridiculous.
I don’t think this is a problem but it might get me in trouble someday.

Telco “Competition” in Canada
This sums it up:
Why has Rogers decided to charge to text for Incoming text messages?
We’ve reviewed wireless practices in other countries and in Canada and see that charging for text/sms messages is a fairly common business practice amongst major carriers. We continue to offer our customers attractive text plans and bundles and recommend that our customers consider subscribing to one of these plans that include text messaging to save money and continue to receive unlimited incoming messages at no extra charge.
In short: we don’t need the money, but everyone else is doing it so we thought we should too.

Patch Tuesday
I just wanted to mention something that a lot of people don’t know about, Patch Tuesday. That would be that scheduled Microsoft patched are sent out the second Tuesday of every month. The only exception is that critical patches become available as soon as possible.
Why does this matter? Well if you don’t want to run automatic updates you can make a note of the second Tuesday of every and just run Windows Update then instead of always having a background process.
