TVO Documentary on Record Collectors
Just thought I’d bump an interesting documentary on record collectors called “Vinyl“, which will air tonight on TVO at 9 PM Eastern and tomorrow at 12 AM Eastern.
It is also available for viewing online by Canadians via the TVO web site.
Delays, Delays, Delays
I had planned to start doing more on the blog side of this site last week but unfortunately I was sidetracked by family illness, pain from dental surgery and a cold. And now my Windows 7 machine, which had worked fine since I purchased it in late 2009, is starting to get buggy.
The Desktop Window Manager issue has appeared. This program randomly shut of causing my monitor to flicker and the Aero window transparency to turn off and on, randomly.
This is rather annoying and I’ve tried all of the fixes, including forcing Aero by editing the registry. In the end the best solution for me was to just go with a “Basic and High Contrast Theme” on personalization, which isn’t a big loss really. It looks fine and it appears to be better on the resources.
If I ever get another Windows 7 machine I’ll probably drop Aero. But then I digress.
I’m hoping to get back into posting more regularly here by November, especially about Bill C-11. The debate is on and the opposition is multiplying to the digital lock provisions.

Freddie For A Day
Queen‘s Freddie Mercury would have been 65 today. And today you will find numerous tributes to this incredible rock vocalist, including a doodle on Google.com, featuring “Don’t Stop Me Now”, and Youtube, where an hour and a half long Wembley Stadium performance can be viewed.
