Worth noting that there 15 other NIST time servers across two other locations (7 in Fort Collins, CO and 8 in Maryland) that are working perfectly fine and that even the affected servers remain accurate to within 0.0000046 seconds

Lumberjack song holds a special place in my heart after spending my summers at Haliburton Scout Reserve in the 1990s.

All application components require Local Admin or root to run, too? ‘Cause it’s just easier that way… 😬

On one hand, it would help with staffing a broader and deeper set of skills for providing IT … something that must be difficult outside of the largest boards. On the other, I see the mess that the TDSB is in, in part because the Province has restricted their options. No easy solution.

Chris Hadfield. We took our space-obsessed kids to meet him at a few different events and he was nice and gracious.

We ran into him, walking in the park a couple years later and he was cool with spending a few minutes chatting with an 8 and a 10 year old… just a decent guy.
