updates coming for book ....
I have just received email indicating possible serious errors in the book as it currently exists so will wait until I see the corrections and determine whether I will need to completely regenerate the modified register report and begin again with the editing or possibly make "minor" changes as it is.
We can hope.
In any case, the latest developments are the purchase of a newer, faster computer: Intel Pentium III 1 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB and 160 GB hard disk drive and gradually moving things over from the slower machine. Along with the HP LJ 2550 L printer, now will be able to print the 1,550 page book in cerlox binding in two volumes by myself and include more than the two pages of photos I had planned (based on $1.00/page for color pages) since the LJ apparently prints somewhat cheaper than that.
The expected flood of the river valley of the North Saskatchewan river didn't materialize (peaked a one meter lower than flood levels), now we just have to batten down the hatches for the possible swarms of mosquitoes, though we can hope the city will spray to reduce the effects of the recent rains.
The annual Jazz Festival got cancelled but one of the local jazz clubs picked up the ball so there will be jazz this summer in Edmonton, along with the several other festivals that usually run. Added to that is the inaugural Grand Prix Edmonton, now sponsored by West Edmonton Mall. It will be a busy summer.
Still working so will miss some of the events though will take time off to see the Heritage Festival in August.
The local park, Giovanni Caboto park, is being upgraded with $80.000.00 of work and will be opened later this summer, though some of the work will continue in 2006. The goal is to create a European style park so it will be a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. For those who don't recognize the name, we know him as John Cabot as he did much of his exploring for England so his name was Anglicized but his original Italian name was used for the park. His statue won't be added though a local businessman's will.
Cheers, Ray
