After 3 different proposals, one of which would have moved Jadzia’s new school from the end of the block to another city entirely, the school board voted unanimously the leave the school where it is. They also offered new money to renovate, which will fulfill another request the school had made.

I bought Trillian Pro recently, and I was able to solve a little quirk on IRC (auto-join and stuff) with some help yesterday. Now the change is complete for me. I can connect with multiple IM protocols (AIM, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger, ICQ, and IRC chat rooms), and I can organise my contacts the way I want to.

Everything can be organised into sub-groups, making things easier to find.

Until Canada allows the US to fully deploy our North American Anti-Missile Defense system fully in order to protect BOTH Canada and the United States, we will not sell across the Canadian border nor promote our products therein.
