Another email that made its way to my blog, that more than two might benefit from critically reading and considering what I note to be quite common… Because your (I call them, unaffectionately, "Ya buts," referring to those little rationalisations we tell ourselves and others that don't stand up to critical evaluation of any kind, [...]
Hey everyone–one of the most useful aspects of the myriad filesystems available in Linux is their versatility. Logical volumes–recall that a logical drive is an abstract construct that behaves like a drive volume; similarly, a logical volume group is an abstraction from what we typically think of as storage media in the physical sense, [...]
The Internet doesn't need a licence to use it; back in the late 1980s when I first started my BBS and offered online services (as a Fidonet BBS, I–like Farcebook–required real names and was run completely above-board–something different when offered by a 12-year-old ) But now, we depend on the Internet for [...]
I first wrote this as an email I sent to friends who have helped me in various ways this past summar, but I realized that actually, the nvidia-Linux issue is one that plagues many people because of the widespread use of nvidia GPU-based cards in laptops and desktops. I believe that Linux needs more support [...]
My public key, for people to use to authenticate any of my GPG-signed messages, or to encrypt to me, without needing too check the keyserver (but I prefer you use a keyserver, because then not only I can know that nobody has changed what I wrote and invalidated the signature–and YOU can hold *me* [...]
—–BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE—– Hash: SHA1 Because my Ontario Health Card is due for renewal, because there is a widespread misunderstanding about how the Canadian universal health care system is operationalized, and because there is an obviously–rampant problem with health care fraud (if you live in a more heterogeneous city than Toronto, where we have [...]
What initially attracted my attention about Mendeley (at the time, at Walden, our advisors, professors, mentors were largely focusing on encouraging us to use Zotero as a non-"web app" solution) was the potential to apply the social graph and underlying social networking relationship structures to something other than just one-liners about last night's [...]
Robin L. M. Cheung Seriously, everyone GET www.gnupg.org it’s virtually our duty as responsible Netizens to do what we can, if not take it and “run with it” to improve it further, to implement things that solve the very issues we fire people and acrimoniously cry over like photoshopped/tampered communications, man in the middle attacks.. GPG is [...]

Even using tunnelling, my own computer (Ortofon-fc15) based in Toronto pings my server Chicago server, sipRoxy.cloud59.ca (based at XO Communications, using Chicago tunnelbroker endpoint), significantly faster than ipv4 routing… [robin@Ortofon-fc15 Documents]$ ping siproxy.cloud59.ca PING siproxy.cloud59.ca (204.91.36.237) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 204.91.36.237: icmp_req=1 ttl=46 time=44.5 ms 64 bytes from 204.91.36.237: icmp_req=2 ttl=46 [...]
Today’s being World ipv6 day, I wanted to remind everyone of my implementation exemplar at http://ipv6.RobinCheung.ca/cira-ipv6 It is available via dual-stack ipv4 and ipv6 and thus, whether you have ipv6 access or not, you can familiarize yourself with my interpretation of the issue, my efforts, and use them as a springboard for your own!

hey they got Bill Clinton to speak at our commencement this summer; I’m not graduating this summer, of course, but commencement always coincides with one of the residencies (Winter in January/Miami; Summer in July/Minneapolis). This will be 30 July, 2011 and broadcast live on www.WaldenU.Edu for all… It’s a great reinforcement of Walden’s theme of [...]
In response to the article dated 23 August, 2010, wherein Patricia Cohen, New York Times, explains how Dan Cohen, George Mason University, considers current academic culture–literature, in particular–the “exclusive” domain of “the charmed circle of tenured academe” (Cohen, 2010). They crticize the dearth of individuals that have invested significant time and effort to develop disciplined [...]
Those of you familiar with my recalcitrant non-conforming ways but also know that I am loathe to reject any traditionally-accepted theory without first striving to gain a mastery ofit will appreciate, then, my plans to attend the 2010 Statistics Canada International Methodology Symposium, from October 26 to 29, 2010, in my hometown (well, from the time [...]
Although databases like ProQuest, LexisNexis, and ScienceDirect do indeed facilitate and vastly improve research productivity. But the new generation of computer-based journal databases and their reliance on keyword searches and abstracts undermines the significantly-more valid critical process of evaluating references for their actual findings and content before dismissing a reference, considering it further, or determining what articles to follow next in the chain.
With Statistics Canada having been criticized in the news recently, it’s good to see some of the real applications that impact Canadian businesses and lives, such as the Canadian Internet Use Survey. But I think practitioners–and the general public–still aren’t quite fulfilling “due diligence” in either citing the Statistics Canada information or in how they [...]

Yvon, selon le commissariat aux langues officielles, ni CIRA ni les programmes fédéraux n'oublige qu'il ait besoin évident: http://www.ocol-clo.gc.ca/html/faq2_f.php#q4 The following post was actually primarily a response to "Canadian Public Interest in Internet Policy and Decision Making" sent by CIRA in October, 2009.

In the spirit of being in Montréal for the 2010 Academy of Management Annual Meeting, with over 8,000 professionals and academics from 80 countries participating in over 7,000 programmes (the programme for the event is 491 pages long), I thought I would post an interesting discussion from the Academy of Management’s ht#mce_temp_url# site. I had [...]
As of this morning, my best efforts to cleanse this post of any reference that could lead back to the author of the original post which had more misrepresentations clearly intended to persuade by inciting fear , clearly selected because they are virtually certain to be undetected by the average lay person who cannot recall [...]
As a Canadian student in the AMDS PhD programme, Finance specialization, I have a personal interest in Walden’s success in entering the Canadian market and gaining credibility. I completed my BSc (Hons) at Carleton University in Ottawa, and my MBA from McMaster University in Hamilton. I find myself continually on the defensive when I mention [...]
