Vote for this guy coz I can't

-

Since I haven't got Canadian citizenship yet (eligibility to apply won't be until March), I'd like to appeal to anyone who knows who they are voting for trustee and ward but doesn't have a mayor pick to give it to this guy. He's a 22 year old student at Guelph-Humber College and lives near me according to this interview on the Edge 102.1 (and a good sport too) and has got his classmates and I suspect many other younger votes interested that otherwise couldn't give a damn.

He even had to give up his part time job as Leaside Garden Zamboni driver because unlike David Miller, he can't draw salary as a city employee while campaigning. To add insult to injury he was excluded from a debate at his place of work! It goes without saying that some are grumpy that other young candidates aren't getting his press but if the mayoral race wasn't such a bust he mightn't have made the same impact as he has.

I do like that he considers the annual 50+ homicides worth worrying about rather than just being content that it's "holding steady" or "worse in Detroit or other American cities".

Not exactly a full slate of policies but he's far easier to like than Pitfield or Bowtied Chretien Liberal hack and with his $800,000 from folks like Belinda Stronach, Margaret Atwood, Rick Mercer and various NDP types David Miller is pretty safe this time. Go on, you know you want to.

What is the virtue of a proportional response?

-
A question posed by Martin Sheen in his TV role as the President of the United States . Israel answered that question, correctly long ago - there is no virtue in meeting an attack on your territory with anything other than overwhelming, punitive force sufficent to dissuade future attacks. While I would oppose many Israeli security policies, in which Islamic state would you have seen the courts override the executive on humanitarian grounds, such as with their decision on the Concrete Curtain? The pullout from Gaza was widely predicted never to happen because Israel wouldn't stand up to its extremists - yet the landgrab settlements there have been removed. The proportional response from Hamas was to kidnap soldiers from the Israeli side of the fence. The proportional response from Hezbollah was to continue firing missiles into northern Israel - the fact that their missiles can reach Israeli soil at all being because (a) Israel complied with the negotiated settlement and pulled o

Remote Desktop Connection Manager - a boon for admins

-
I subscribe to a bunch of Microsoft blogs and one of them revealed a gem in the past month.  RDCMan, a tool which allows an admin to group together remote desktops, preset their username/password combos and connect to those groups with a right-click option, has been invaluable in my work lately which involves quickly jumping from server to server or from servers to a group of workstations.  The gorgeous thing about it is not merely a gallery of thumbnails of the connected sessions, but the ability to interact with the thumbnails with sufficiently accurate mouse clicks.  Heartily recommended. Here's the original post: Introducing Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.2 (You had me at EHLO - the Microsoft Exchange Team blog)
