Well we haven’t hit the 7 foot snow banks yet, but we did get a fairly large snow storm here in North Bay. We got the end of a storm that hit Enterprise High School earlier yesterday. This storm was just snow for us. Usually by the time a tornado storm gets here it’s usually at it’s last dieing breath. Well I went out and took some pictures. I know it doesn’t look like allot but most of it was drifted so it was very very compacted. Wasn’t that much fun to move… Even with a snow blower.

Well last Monday we started our second semester at Widdifield. I have a fairly easy semester.
English first period, auto second period, then MSIP third, Online Business course fourth and lastly CO-OP last. So far English and Auto class have been the essayist’s. My Online business course is good now because we just got signed up and loged in.

The Business course is still in Beta testing if you want to call it that. There is about 10 of use that are trying the new e-Learning system they have put in place. This system is shared across the school board. There is a bunch of other schools testing this system as well. In total there is well over 200 students signed up for various courses within the system.

The software they uses is very in depth and very easy to use. The software is called Desire2Learn. It has a very easy to use “Dropbox” system so we can hand in our homework. It also has a cheap version of MSN so when a user is online we can talk to them. It also has a message board that is really setup kinda like e-mail accept every body can see any post and you can see who has replied. We have what is called as a “Locker”. It’s just 5MB of space so we can have access to our homework no mater what computer I am on. This doesn’t really mater because I got my laptop. 😀 Lastly we get a simple e-mail address thats is closed to the system. We can send e-mail to people that are signed up for the e-learning course but we can send any to any out side e-mail addresses.

My next thing to do is arrange a meting again with the principle to discus the state of the wireless access at the school. From what I’v herd there is over 20 points installed but only 5 of them work. 😛 Well thats how my semesters going to go. Sounds like fun aye?

Well last week was nuts. My parents hosted a Christmas party for my mom’s family. 27 people were crammed into our small living room.

I got some awesome presents this year. HDadvanced with a Hard drive. It was easy to get going. Just take off your network adapter, slide in the Maxtor 160G hard drive, then put put the network adapter back on. Pop in the HDadvanced DVD and away you go. Now I can copy games to the hard drive and I will never ever need the CD again.

The second thing I got was a PS2 to USB converter. I can use my PS2 and PS1 controllers on my computer. It was very simple to setup.

I also got a few other things like T-shirts and other odd and ends.

Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Last night, North Bay got a large amount of snow in a 8 hour period. We went from having no snow to having about 2 feat of snow. Needless to say ever one was unprepared. 12 hours after the storm, I finally got my parents snow blower to start. Boy was there a lot of snow.

Tonight I had the digital camera out here are a few pictures of what it looks like in my hood.

My parents also purchased a new 50″ Panasonic Viera TV. The thing is huge and was a evening project to get up on the wall. All the wires aren’t run through the wall yet. Me and my dad are going to be doing that after Christmas due to the fact were going to have to tare part of a wall down to do it. O well, it’s still nice to watch TV on. More pictures.

For presents this year I have already got my dad, mom and sister something but now I got to find something for Jess. It’s going to be a difficult challenge.

Well over night last night it started to snow. A far amount of snow but according to the weather most of will be gone by the end of the day.

The funny part is I have to go to my schools final football game today. It should make for an exciting time. We should win as long as the other team runs the same plays.

Anyway I have added snow to the site now. It will stay up till the snow here in North Bay is gone. I’ll take some pictures of the game and post them on here later on. Have a good day all.
