Boiling Over

So I was looking on monster.ca for a job today and decided to search for "environmental engineer". I got 90 hits spread out across the country, 84 of which were for jobs as an officer in the Canadian Forces. And they were all the same job post and not all of which had different locations attached to them.

The other 6 were just as useless.

Attention monster.ca. Your tips on searching are bloody useless and don't tell me how to get any useful results out of your piece of shit search engine. Die in a fire and take that ugly-ass interface with you. Thanks.

On the other hand, Steve Don't Eat It is a delightful romp through the finer parts of cuisine. Just don't read it before eating or after eating or within 4 hours of eating.

Summer Softball

Intersted in summer softball? No? Then stop reading. If you are let's get
going...

Some of you have expressed interest (and if you haven't I'm assuming you
might be interested) in creating a softball team for the summer. I've found
two leagues that fit the bill. Both leagues require a roster of 10 guys and
5 girls, but only a minimum of 5 guys and 3 girls are required for a game.
So we need to find some girls, I don't think we'll have a problem getting 10
guys out. These are both rec leagues so there's no pressure to be a
superstar like Kelly Gruber or Candy Maldonado.

I'm making this all up on the fly so if anyone knows of any other leagues,
I'm sure there's bound to be more out there that might work out better. Or
if you know anything at all that might be helpful.

1) http://www.sssl.ca/default.html
"We play on Monday nights. We are a co-ed league that requires you to feild
3 females at all times. Our fees are $1550 or $1350 if you have your own
jerseys. We play from mid-May to our play-off weekend at the end of August.

We play at Glamorgan (401 and Kennedy) and L'Am 4 (Kennedy and Steeles). Our
start times are 6:30. 8:00 and 9:30 p.m."

2) http://www.guildwoodslopitch.com/
Friday nights. $750 per team. Co-ed, 3 female min on the field.
First game: Friday May 2007
12 Regular season games
3 game minimum playoff tourney
No long weekend games
Games played at the diamonds at Churchill Heights (Homefield Advantage) and
some other park (Densgrove) just south of there. Easy access to McCoy's !!!

All I'm interested in now is whether you're in, out or unsure and what
league you'd like to play in. So pass this along to anyone who might be
interested, once the snow melts it's time to get going.

Logic Puzzle and Timewaster

I found another fun timewaster on the web today and it's good. It's a little reminiscent of the mind maps from the JFK project and it looks to be fairly difficult for anyone to accomplish by themselves. Here's the link.

When you go to save game, you'll get a web address. Just like it says on the page, you can merge the work of two people together. So if anyone wants to help me out on this, here's my link so far. I'll update it as I get further.

All 4 meta-clues have now been found. It's funny how sometimes your mind takes you in completely the wrong direction and you completely miss the obvious answer.
