Apparently Novell takes it’s hold music seriously and has a dedicated ‘radio station‘ playing the hold music. This even includes ‘traffic reports’ every ten minutes (which tells you how many people are in the ques and the longest wait times) and you can even make requests for songs you would like to hear).
So one of the Days of Deals sales from Dell was a 32″ LCD TV for $549…and well I couldn’t say no and jumped on the flat screen wagon. A couple of days later it arrived at work and of course must be fully tested….. It comes with a built-in ATSC tuner allowing for receiving HD programming OTA.
This required us to get a bit creative in coming up with a suitable antenna to test the reception.
The following components were used:
Unfortunately we didn’t get any signal for CBC-HD, but we were able to tune into some Maury Povich where the topic of the day was “My mom is too fat to dress so sexy”…oh yeah…that’s right kids!
Anyways here are a few shots of the slinky antenna

Well at work lately the cleaners have been somewhat lax with cleaning the washroom….and there are a few individuals that we’ll say are a bit gross. To be honest there is nothing like the smell of raw sewage at 8:30AM when you’ve only had a few sips out of that first coffee…..Anyways this has caused us to create some creative washroom signs from ‘No Spitting in the sink’ to ‘No defecating on the toilet’…so when i came across this page of washroom signs I couldn’t help but giggle.
Well…I’ve finally decided to try to maintain a blog…I’ve attempted this a couple of times in the past but each time trying to reinvent the wheel by writing custom code. This time though I’ve decided to give wordpress a go.
I’ve heard it’s pretty good, has a lot of plug-ins and easily extensible…
