My Toshiba has bit the dust today half the screen died. Now I’m trying to decide what to replace it with visit my blog if you have any suggestions, please post them here in the blog.

I have a concern I’ve noticed happening more often on buses over the past month or so. This effect is predominantly happening on the Hospital / UNB and East / West Routes.

As the buses are approaching capacity there are normally about three to seven seats left in the rear of the bus, however many UNBSJ students will notice only that there are no seats in the front of the bus and will stand half-way between the front and rear doors, causing a backlog of people standing.

I would suggest that the Transit Commission make it policy that all standers must stand in the back of the bus to make it more clear that there are free seats remaining. In addition I would ask that you contact the University to send out an e-mail to students advising them of this.

After three short months at Harvey’s in Saint John, I departed tonight for the last time. It was one of the most interesting jobs I have had.

Week One

Sep 12th

Well this week despite being the first week of classes after taking a year and a half off, was fairly uneventful. The old adage that if you don’t use it you will lose it is true. In the Math class for one it is so far covering a lot of the things from Grade 11 which for me was 5 years ago. Last time around all those years ago Ms. Chapman would explain thing very thoroughly so that even the uninterested would learn. Now I have a professor that despite English not being his first language and be slightly difficult communicate his thoughts, is definitely passionate about the course material, and it is early to tell but I think this passion is for all math in general.

I also finally finished all the graphics for the new upcoming season of Too Close to Call. This season is going to be slightly different from last season, but it is sure to be more interesting. The season premier airs live next Sunday (Sept 19th) at 7-8pm on Rogers Television throughout New Brunswick.

I have also been working over the past week, but there really is nothing new to say.

I haven’t had an opportunity to update this here blog entry in a while.

A few weeks ago I bought freesmelvin.ca with a new hosting provider all-in-all it is working out fairly well. I am still having trouble setting up a few things in MySQL and postreSQL but that will happen in a bit.

Now basically as it stands now everything has moved from frees-melvin.ca to freesmelvin.ca through a .htaccess file. As to keep all the links working. And all the mail is being forwarded but I am still using frees-melvin.ca to promote everything the new stuff show up at frees-melvin.ca².

I am still working a Harvey’s, it has been seven weeks, which makes it longer than the time I worked at RMh for 6.5 weeks.

I had an interview at Burger King last week, I thought it went well. I should hear something early next week if I get it. Regardless, if I get the opportunity to work at Empire Theatre, I would take it in a heart beat.

On a university note, I’ve got one week to go and not as excited as my second year at St. Thomas, or as scared as my first year there was, but this is something totally new. Still, I know what to expect at UNBSJ and that will accept my new world with open arms.
