The archives of the old blog (version 2) are now online, and accessible through the link on the sidebar. Right now the pictures won't work (since everything's been changed over), but I will go through them later and duplicate the pics so they appear again. Unfortunately the comments from these blogs are all gone. I went to check to see if I could implement them again but apparently they have vanished. Oh well.

In other news, it was a year ago (approximately) that the Omega crew went to Newfoundland. This year's staff just left today for the 2005 CUP Conference, which is in Edmonton. (I toyed with the idea of going up there and "crashing" it but figured it wasn't worth the long trip.) Just like last year, Dave Gracey has begun his (mock) role as horrible rapist...but where Silv was the victim last year, this year it's Dale.

In the spirit of CUP, here's a excerpt from a post last January:

Chris, CUP Organizer: "We have people here from St. John's all the way across to Victoria and from Prince George. So it's great to see every.....(interupted)"
Al: "PRINCE GEORRRRGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (he yells out in front of 75 people)"
Chris, CUP Organizer: "Uhhh, yeah, Prince George??"

What's kind of ironic is that Bowes is having its annual Symposium (which is like a conference, I guess) in Calgary next weekend that any Bowes staff can go to. It's free meals, seminars, entertainment, hotel accommodations etc. for the weekend. Oh and one more thing - FREE BOOZE. It's just like CUP last year! (though I probably won't be sneaking beer into the banquets this time)
