Daylight Savings Time Updates

Hello,

DST is upon us, earlier than normal this year, as a result of the US Congress deciding to change when DST starts and ends every year.

There is a little impact on most computer users as a result of this change, however, nothing that really puts your data at risk.

To download DST patches that will update your system to reflect the new law:

Windows XP/2003
BlackBerry Users (works in internet explorer only)

Microsoft Outlook Users

Microsoft's DST Support Centre

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by phone or email.

Regards,
Ben Wiper

Long Weekend

Us hanging out at "the beach". Yes, Charlie is humping my leg in the background *sigh*

You won't believe it, but she actually knocked that try over while climbing it!

Our Cottage through the woods.



Lisa and I just got back from a long weekend near Kejimikujik National Park. We stayed a the Mersey River Chalets (http://www.merseyriverchalets.com). There are a total of 6 chalets and several motel style rooms on the property. It is a 400 acre property that has several rivers and a lake within it. It's always a good sign for a wilderness weekend when you have to drive 2km into the forest just to get to the office! I know I wouldn't want to have to shovel that driveway!

The chalet was perfect - full kitchen supplies, wood stove, 2 bedrooms and a fold out futon in the main room.

However, even with all the good things I was a little bit nervous - no TV, no internet, no BlackBErry and no e-mail for 2.5 days! I twitched for about the first couple hours, but then I recovered and had a great time.

Charlie, our dog, also had a blast - he loved being off leash and chasing after bears. We had a great tour of Keji, and walked around 3 of the beaches and a couple of the campground area (no campers!).

All in all, a fabulous weekend, and we'll definitely be going back and sharing this beautiful location with our friends.
