Re: Name your Releases or Sprints something interesting

I think we missed an opportunity to name our Desire2Learn E release "Eros". That way we'd have erotic builds, erotic release dates, erotic planning.

I like naming sprints too. I've used chocolate bars (Bounty, Crispy Crunch, etc) but my favourite so far was Old Spice deodorants (who doesn't want a sprint called "Smooth Blast"??).

If you have a large amount of CC have you thought about consolidating and refinancing your mortgage?
Since I have CC debt I never really put any thought into investing. I remember the first rule from the wealthy barber is don't invest if you don't have any net positive money.

Re: Moving to Bloor and Lansdowne

Hey, Im moving from Guelph aswell, and considering an apartment near the corner of bloor and lansdowne. Its reassuring to see blogs like this that speak to the overall improvements of the area instead of just the negative. Im not sure how old this blog post is, but where do you feel this community is at now? Im still a student, and I do worry about my safety especially if i have late classes and may be traveling alone in the later evening.
This post has been very helpfull in making me feel better about my situation, since im not able to afford a place in a more expensive and "safer" part of town. Im hoping this communities character will show through.

Very useful information. I would re-emphasis that to avoid by-law officers and police from visiting the party, 1)keep the doors & windows closed 2)no people in the front yard/porch 3) no hollering, screaming, yelling when outside. These 3 things are what makes people call the authorities. Also, telling your neighbours about the party before hand and providing a contact number is something that should always be done along with picking up the cups and garbage around the house the next day. One more: do not urinate on other people's properties. I live in an area with many student houses and if the people having the parties showed respect and consideration to me and the rest of the neighbourhood by doing the above, you'd be surprised at how tolerant I (and the rest of the non-student neighbours) can be.

Yep, promoting events is not an easy feat. It is rewarding though, and should be for you as well, as the event was a definite success. Congratulations to the Kitchener Polish Day organizing team!

Thanks for the caution Michael. Seems like a general truth, rather than a work-specific issue. :)

Very cool,
Personally, between us there's very very little overlap in what we do now/what we want to develop/and who we look to for inspiration.

But one thing we have in common is that we're all responsible for taking control of our own career. And I've learned that D2L's definition of a successful Dariusz and Dariusz' definition of a successful Dariusz might not overlap. And be aware of that.

Oh man .. that's another great one. Notice that the two opposite definitions have almost the same origins ;)

The Mandarin language can be complicated too... "ma" for example has four different tones it can be spoken in, each with a completely different meaning. (By changing the inflection of the word.) Fortunately they use a different character for each meaning, so in print you know what you are reading. Unfortunate for the person who speaks Mandarin as a second language and goofs on the tone, calling his mother in law a horse.

That's awesome.
Reminds me also of the word cleave (which is not as cool because neither meaning of the word is common).

Cleave:

The first meaning is to stick and the second meaning is to split. Huh?!

I'm sad it's gone. "More to come" was a promise I was putting some faith in.
