AI Efficacy and Data Quality
Published:
While I was using the Wayback Machine to “bring back” my blog posts over the last 25 years, I backed in to a personal example of how quality data drives a higher degree of efficacy from AI. I’ll explain.
To Blog or Not to Blog
Published:
My goodness, jimkirk.org has gone through so many iterations over the decades. You read that right. Decades.

The Fall of the Laptop
Published:
I’ve been using laptops for over 20 years and during that time, I’ve seen them evolve from chonky bricks with shitty screens and poor battery life to thin, light, capable portable computers. More recent developments in this space have made me less interested in laptops than ever before and this isn’t just the result of the pandemic and that #WFH life… this trend started back when I got my hands on the Dell Latitude 5285 in 2017… To me, this is when things starting going downhill.
Job Change is Healthy
Published:
I’ve been quiet over the last couple of months because I’ve been going through a job change cycle. About a decade ago, I promised myself that every 5 years, I’d at least have a look around to see if there was something else that might interest me. The thought process behind this was relatively simple:
Elevating Your Doggos
Published:
Our dog breed of choice is the miniature dachshund. They are adorable, loving, and highly… portable? That portability does create some challenges around the house, though. When you want to treat your furbabies as equal family members, that means they should get access to all the furniture, right? All the beds and sofas at a minimum. To accomplish this you need ramps and/or steps. There are options available in the market for purchase, but in our experience, most of them are poorly made, too expensive for what you get, or don’t fit perfectly with your furniture.
Ergonomics in a #WFH World
Published:
The last year has been difficult for me physically. In August, I tore my right calf muscle playing soccer with my kids. During the long recovery and physiotherapy from that injury, I strained the MCL in my left knee. I was asking too much of my left leg while my right was healing. The recover from this second injury extended into early 2021. As someone who has always been very active, the immobility that came with these injuries was difficult.
Digitize the Family Calendar
Published:
Family life can be busy, especially with a couple of tweens and dogs. Staying on top of the appointments, athletics, birthdays, and to dos can be challenging.
Working From Home (#WFM)
Published:
It’s hard to believe that Alicia and I have been at home, trying to work, for almost a year. I don’t think many of us had this one on our 2020 bingo card. The time seems right to take a step back and share some thoughts on this experience.
New Year, New Family Member!
Published:
New Year’s Day seems like the perfect time for a family announcement. We are pleased to share that we have a new addition to the family. Daisy has joined the household as our second furbaby.

Virtualized Household Gaming
Published:
We are a household of gamers. Alicia and I date back to the Nintendo days and now we have offspring who love games like Minecraft and Roblox. When we come together in the living room to game together, we play titles like Overcooked and platformers like Rayman. We’re more of a PC gaming family than a console family… so this has resulted in a couple of Home Theatre PCs (HTPCs) with gaming capabilities being deployed to our two largest televisions. So when you add these two to the gaming PCs on my desk and in each of the kids’ rooms… we’re up to five in the house. What’s wrong with that?
Self-Hosting Compute Options

I’m going to nerd out a bit in this post. If that’s not your jam, leave now or forever hold your peace.
Getting Tricked Into Management
Published:
I never thought for a moment that I would end up in management. I was the introverted, hands on keyboard geek who got his start on the technical support side of the business. A few stars aligned (or collided) that fundamentally altered my career trajectory. I occasionally make reference to being “tricked into management”, so I thought I would tell the tale. I hope to tell it in a way that may help others who are unsure of where their technology careers may take them.
From Playset to Treehouse
Published:
Time definitely seems to accelerate as you get older. It seems like only yesterday that Alicia and I moved back to Nova Scotia with two babies in tow.
The Evolution of my Homelab
Published:
One of my positives from the pandemic has been having extra time to reconnect with my “hands-on” technology roots. This reconnection was jump-started by a technical issue. With the whole family working and learning from home, my network was under serious stress and we were regularly being disconnected from our Microsoft Teams or Google Meet calls. I had a router issue that forced me to roll up my sleeves and exercise my troubleshooting skills. That got the juices flowing and boy did things spiral from there.
Should I Have Been a Carpenter?
Published:
This year marks my 20th year working in the technology industry. It’s a significant milestone and has me thinking back to the alternate career paths I could have / might have taken. When I went to St. F.X., I was on a track to get a degree in Accounting and then go on to Dalhousie Law. This alternate path never came to be as I ended up dropping out of St. F.X. while simultaneously falling in love with technology. It worked out and I wouldn’t change a thing. 
Positives from a Pandemic?
Published:
I have a tendency to focus on the positive, so I thought I would pull together a little list of the positive developments during this pandemic. I will start with some personal positives and then I will “zoom out” and look at this from a global perspective.
A Blog Eh?
Published:
I know… I know… who has time to read another blog, right? If you are familiar with the “Way Back Machine“, you’ll know that I’ve had an on again / off again relationship with this format for almost two decades. Now that I’m older, my philosophy will be different because here’s the thing…

What the Kids are Up To?
Published:
I don’t do this enough. Just stop and think about all the interesting things both the kiddos are doing. I think with Emma, since we’ve been through all of the “milestones” so recently with Drew the little things kind of go forgotten. Which is too bad, because for her they are a big deal! So here’s what they’re up to….
Wireless Providers Suck
Published:
So Alicia and I have been waiting patiently for her existing contract with Telus to expire. We’ve whittled her monthly bill down over the last year to be about $37/month as she typically only uses the phone once or twice per month. It’s for emergencies, essentially. We’ve been looking forward to ditching Telus and sliding over to a ‘no system access fee’ provider like Solo Mobile so we can bring her monthly expense down to $17/month taxes in!
I am due for an update
Published:
It’s been awhile since we’ve thrown something up, so while the two kids nap, I thought it would be a good idea to give a general update. What’s new in Fonthill, Ontario?
The iPad Effect
Published:
They did it… Apple finally released the tablet so many have been craving for so long - the iPad.
The Weekend is Here
Published:
Thus far it’s been a relaxing Saturday morning here in Fonthill. The kids are both sleeping right now so I have a moment to catch my breath and chill at my iMac. Not a lot on tap for today. I’m planning on heading outside shortly to take down the Christmas lights. After that, we’ll probably load up the kids and take a run into St. Catharines to run a couple of errands.
Another Week in the Books!
Published:
Well, we’re 1/2 way through the first month of 2010! Thus far, it’s been pretty hectic!
Quick Update
Published:
Let me see… quick update on a few things:
Money, Money, Moneyyy
Published:
Alicia and I just spent an hour or so going over our budget for 2010. We’re going to have to make some cut backs in a couple of areas. My net income changes a bit because at the start of the year, the good old Canada Pension Plan kicks in again… they can’t seem to spread the contributions over the entire year… for me, I pay in from January to July and then it goes away for the remainder of the year… giving us a sense of inflated income.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Published:
Have you ever heard of the “Way Back Machine”? It’s essentially an internet library… storing digital content found on the web. It’s intent is to ensure that possibly important content regarding our society isn’t lost when someone chooses to hit the ‘delete’ key. One of the interesting features is that you can plug in a web URL and ‘look back’ at not only the content previously stored there… but the web design itself. How about a glimpse into what was for jimkirk.org, shall we?

Another Four Day Weekend
Published:
I’ve decided to take tomorrow (New Year’s Eve) off so we have another 4-day weekend! I’m looking forward to more chillin’ at home with the family… Emma has been struggling with an ear infection over the last week or so but we did get some prescription medication last evening, so hopefully that will clear up sooner rather than later.
How Much Furniture Can You Load in a Compact Car?
Published:
… this much.
We Are Still Here. Seriously.
Published:
Wait a second… I have a website? No way!
Introducing Sofie Kirk!
Published:
Late yesterday morning, Alicia and I brought home the latest addition to the growing Kirk family. Little Sofie Kirk, a chocolate dapple mini-dachshund, is quite a character let me tell you. She’s chalk full of personality (similar to Oliver) and boy does she ever like to play. We were fortunate enough to get Sofie from the same breeder as Ollie and we know we’ll end up with an equally well-adjusted dog the second time around. I think genetics and how the dogs are handled as little puppies has a dramatic affect on long-term behavior.
The Fit is a Go… Again
Published:
In a positive turn of events, Alicia did finally get her beautiful new car back from the body shop last week. As you may recall, we were involved in an accident with it about 3 weeks ago which required two new doors, a paint job for the driver’s side and a touch of body work on the rear quarter panel.
Rant: No Respect
Published:
It amazes me how little respect most people have for the property of others. In this specific example of the stupidity and insensitivity of others, we’ll talk about my Honda Accord.
July 4th Weekend
Published:
Even though I’m Canadian, I actually spent July 1st (Canada Day) in the United States. GASP! Yes, I know… I’m a terrible Canadian.
An Unfortunate Accident
Published:
My family endures something that we refer to as “Kirk Luck” on a semi-regular basis. We’re of the belief that if we didn’t have bad luck, we wouldn’t have any at all. Apparently it extends to those who marry into our family as well.
Not Fat, But Losing Weight Anyways
Published:
When I graduated high school, I was about 6’7” tall and I tipped the scales at a dainty 175lbs. Needless to stay I was skinny as a rail. During college I finally filled out and ended up at an ideal weight of 205lbs. This was a very comfortable weight for me. I didn’t look skinny but I was still slim and trim.
We Are Going to the Superbowl!
Published:
It’s been a long time coming, but finally the Pittsburgh Steelers are heading to the Superbowl! In possibly Jerome Bettis’ last season in the NFL, his teammates made sure that he would get an opportunity to end his storied career in his home town of Detroit.
I Get My Wife Back!
Published:
I thought I’d better take a second to congratulate my beautiful wife on successfully completing her college education! She finished her last exam and presentation yesterday and as I type, she’s driving her Honda Pilot back to Canada to resume her role of onsite wife!
Myth: Ben Roethlisberger only “Manages the Game”.
Published:
After watching both Tommy Maddox and Charlie Batch “stink it up” in relief appearances for Ben Roethlisberger this season, I think it’s safe to debunk this myth about the Steelers that our Quarterback only has to “manage the game”. Ben Roethlisberger is the most important person on our football team, period.
Stuff. Things. Changes.
Published:
With my beautiful wife spending some time with her friends in Pennsylvania this weekend, I was living the life of a bachelor up here in Canada. For the most part, I resigned myself to geek activities:
Insight into Football, Writing and being a Bachelor
Published:
It’s been awhile since I put on my thinking cap and typed up a post for the front page of my beloved website. SOOOO much is going on in my fast-paced life that I’m not sure I’ll even be able to fit it within a couple of mouse scrolls.
Happy Birthday!
Published:
On this day, 22 years ago, Alicia Ann Heinle was born. To celebrate, we’re going to go out for a very nice meal at a restaurant we both enjoy, The Keg. Alicia will probably drown herself in steak and crab legs (and lots of butter) and I’ll enjoy a tasty filet!
No More Contracts!
Published:
Lots of things are changing around here for me. I’m getting married in June, taking possession of a house around the same time and this past week I also accepted a full-time position with my current employer, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). I’ve been in St. Catharines for almost two years now, and I’ve been on 6-month contract after 6-month contract with the MTO the entire time. Fortunately, this past week interviews were held for a full-time position and I was the successful candidate. I’m now a Senior Technical Consultant specializing in IT Security.
We Bought a House!
Published:
Most of you know that Alicia and I are getting married in June. Well, we have another big date coming up too. On May 30th of 2005, we’ll be taking possession of our new home! We bought a nice little house in a really nice neighborhood in the quaint little town of Fonthill, Ontario. It is located about 10 minutes south-west of St. Catharines.
Ottawa Trip!
Published:
Over the weekend, Alicia, Jamie, Shannon, Ollie and I piled into Licia’s Honda Pilot and headed off to Ottawa, Ontario to visit with our friend Erle the Engineer (who’s available, ladies).
UPN Cancels Star Trek Enterprise
Published:
Having a handle like Jim Kirk means that you have to be a Star Trek fan. I think it’s written in the contract somewhere. I’ve watched Trek my whole life, and I really love it. Not all the series’ have been great from start to finish; DS9 was weak in parts, for example. That being said, on the whole, Star Trek has been excellent Sci-Fi. Recently UPN announced that the latest series in the Star Trek Family, Enterprise, was to be cancelled. If you look at the numbers, it’s not that much of a surprise. Only 2.5 million viewers tuned in for last week’s episode.
I Am Still Alive. No, Really.
Published:
Since I haven’t posted in two months, I thought I’d take a moment to whip together some sort of a tangible update for you all. Let me see… I’ve been really busy at work of late. I’m doing IT Security now with the government and I’ve been kept quite busy due to certain virus and worm outbreaks in our environment. December was pretty much a wash at work as a result.
Weekend Update
Published:
I haven’t posted in awhile, so I thought I’d blitz you all with a long weekend update. This past Friday I packed up Ollie and headed down to Pennslyvania to spend the weekend with her and her folks. The only plans we really had going into the weekend were to attend the Meadville Halloween parade, which apparently is the largest in the whole state.
I am an Uncle!
Published:
Dad just called me awhile ago to let me know that my sister Natasha gave birth to her first child! Kirk Frasier MacQuarrie is a healthy little boy who looks like he’s going to be a football player. He weighed in at 9lbs, 12oz! Wow!
No Pepsi For Over a Year!
Published:
Late last summer I encountered a severe case of abdominal pain. It continued for over a week and I eventually went to the doctor to go through the standard string of tests. I wanted to ensure my appendix wasn’t about to rupture and all that. Ultimately, I was okay, of course… but it was this serious discomfort that prompted me to do something that no one really thought I was capable of… give up Pepsi.
Football! Woot!
Published:
Ah, it’s that time of the year again folks. It’s NFL Football time, babay! As you can tell, I’m pretty excited about the upcoming season which will be kicking off on Thursday night.
Knee Surgery
Published:
I know what you’re thinking. How could knee surgery not be fun! You get to use cool crutches and the pity alone should make it worthwhile, right? Well, not so much.
Meet Oliver Kirk!
Published:
I’ve had a busy few days and I still owe all of you a post about my recent vacation to Nova Scotia. However, today I just wanted to introduce you to the latest member of my family…
Another Year Has Passed!
Published:
My Birthday has arrived once again. It really snuck up on me this year as I really hadn’t been giving it much thought. Thankfully I have Alicia to remind me. 
Alicia is Back Together with Link.
Published:
I decided to surprise Alicia with a present this past weekend, so I stopped at BestBuy in Erie, PA on Friday evening and picked up a Nintendo Gamecube for her. She’s a nut for the Zelda-series of games, so the Gamecube was especially attractive to her. I picked her up a copy of “Zelda: The Wind Wakers” along with the GC so she was good to go. Needless to say she was excited about being reunited with her man Link (the heroic male character in the Zelda games). We then ran out the next day and picked up an extra controller and a couple of additional games (MarioCart and Super Smash Bros). So as you can imagine we had some fun playing video games over the weekend. I think she’s addicted to Zelda already (again).
The Search for the Perfect Dog
Published:
I’ve been wanting to get a puppy for quite some time now. Anyone who knows me well enough understands the nature of my insanity when it comes to large purchases and acquisitions. I research everything to death. I’ve never been one to fall in for the “impulse buy”, especially if I’m dropping a large sum of my hard-earned green on a particular product.
BAHAHA. Victory is Mine!
Published:
I’m smiling from ear to ear right now. This isn’t uncommon for a sports fan, but my situation is a little different. I’m not celebrating because my team won. I’m celebrating because the freaking Los Angeles Lakers LOST.
What a Freaking Day!
Published:
I’m having one of those days. Would you like to hear about it? Of course you would!
I Am Sore.
Published:
In an effort to get in better overall physical condition and to keep pace with my significantly younger future spouse, I’ve started going back to the gym. There’s an excellent new YMCA pretty close to my place, so I signed up a little over a week ago. I’ve really been having fun thus far.
I am Dating Cyndi Lauper
Published:
Last weekend, Alicia’s sorority competed in the annual “Sing N Swing” where they pick a theme (Paula Abdul this year) and put together a dance to a medley of songs. I was in attendance and they did a great job. They put together some interesting costumes reminiscent of the 80s and after looking at Licia with her costume on, I realized something… I’m dating Cyndi Lauper! gasp shock
2004 NFL Draft
Published:
The NFL Draft was this weekend so NFL geeks like me were anxious to see the route our teams would take on Day 1 (Rounds 1, 2 and 3) and Day 2 (Rounds 4 through 7). How did the Steelers do? Better than I thought we’d do, given our history of drafting.
Steelers Free Agent Signings
Published:
Last night the Steelers made a significant free agent signing so I thought I’d take a moment to run through what they’ve done to this point.
Superbowl!
Published:
Well, the Super Bowl turned out to be rather entertaining last night even though the evil Patriots ended up winning the game 32-29.
Fleh
Published:
… and 1500km (~930 miles) later, I’m back in my humble abode in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. I’m exhausted, but it’s always great to see Mike, Marlo, and Sydney. I wished I lived a little closer so I could see them on a more regular basis as we all seem to get along really well.
Do Not Bother With Weather Forecasts
Published:
Listen to the meteorologists no longer folks. If you really want 100% certainty in your weather forcasting, just ask me where I’ll be travelling to and when I’ll be on the road. Once you have that information, you can guarantee that it will snow along that route on that particular day.
Things and Stuff.
Published:
I haven’t had much to say lately, but I guess I’ll bust out a post for you silly people who waste precious bandwidth and time travelling over to my little corner of the internet on a daily basis.
Mud Bowl 2003
Published:
One of the perks of loving an American girl is that you get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice each year. Such was the case this year as I took a couple of days off last week to wander across the border to Pennsylvania to spend the American Thanksgiving with Alicia and her family.
Fantasy Football Crazy!
Published:
As I’m sure any sports fan will be aware of, NFL Football is upon us again. This year, for some reason, I decided to sign up for a Fantasy Football league over at Sandbox with some of the characters from my previous place of employment.
The Wedding
Published:
On Saturday, our friends Jamie and Shannon were married outside of Hamilton, Ontario. My friend Erle (aka duke) was in the wedding party so he drove down from Ottawa to stay at my place for the weekend.
Jolly Good!
Published:
I’ll say one thing about the Internet, it’s allowed me to meet a lot of great people. Tonight, I had the pleasure of meeting Oliver (aka JohNEE) who travelled all the way to Ontario from England for a family wedding.
25,000km and Climbing!
Published:
In November of last year, I traded in my trusty old 1995 Honda Civic Coupe and purchased a 2003 Honda Accord Sedan. Considering all the driving I do back and forth to see the future Mrs. Kirk, it seemed like a wise decision. Who wants to be stuck on the side of I90 in the middle of freaking nowhere after dark? Not me, that’s who.
Fun With Friends!
Published:
What a fun-filled weekend. Friday, I was able to take the afternoon off from work as Erle was driving down from Ottawa for the weekend. Jamie (aka Bugs) was kind enough to swing down from Hamilton and pick up and entertain Erle while I drove down to Pennsylvania to pick up Alicia.
Life With Allergies!
Published:
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been suffering from allergy problems since my move into the Niagara Region (St. Catharines, ON). I tried the over-the-counter medications and experienced mixed results. They’d generally work well for the first day or so and then I’d go back to my suffering, which sucks because it’s impacting my ability to sleep through the night.
The Matrix has Alicia and Jim!
Published:
After my work week was finished on Friday, I jumped in the car and drove down to spend the weekend with Alicia. We actually did quite a bit…
anddd I am spent!
Published:
The last few days have been really busy. The moving company (that I’ll never use again) informed me that they needed to pick up my stuff on Monday morning and deliver it on Wednesday instead of the previously agreed upon Wednesday and Friday. Sooo after finishing three 12 hour day shifts in North Bay, I spent the better part of the weekend boxing everything up in preparation for Monday.
Saint Catharines Here I Come!
Published:
When you least expect it… something good happens. On Monday I was offered a job with the Ministry of Transportation in Saint Catharines, Ontario. After taking an evening to discuss it with Alicia and my parents, I accepted on Tuesday. My first day will be on April 28th, which means I have a lot of work to do in a relatively short period of time. The apartment search has already begun and I’ll be in Saint Catharines on Tuesday of next week visiting several complexes.
Spring Cleaning
Published:
When you work a schedule like I do, a couple of things will generally happen over time: 1) Your diet will probably suffer because you’ll never really feel like cooking anything decent to eat after finishing a 12 hour shift. 2) Even if you’re a neat freak, your house will probably get a little dirty from time to time because you’ll lack the energy and motivation to keep it clean.
Chicago: It is a Musical.
Published:
The other day Kurtis and I were conversing back and forth via email and we eventually worked out this great idea; we were going to see a movie. The local Galaxy Cinema didn’t have much to offer that we’d not already seen: Shanghai Knights and Chicago were on our short list. As much as we wanted to enjoy yet another Jackie Chan movie, we opted for Chicago. It had received excellent ratings from Rotten Tomatoes and from the short previews I’d seen it appeared to be your typical murder/courtroom drama with a great cast.
It is the Weekend.
Published:
Thank goodness it’s the weekend. After three 12 hour day shifts to end off the work week, it’s nice to have a weekend to myself. I’m exhausted and hope to recuperate over the next couple of days.
Congratulations Peggy Kirk!
Published:
After years of toiling away with Home Care Nova Scotia as a Supervisor of Client Services, my mother recently decided to make a change and try something new. She’s now the Director of Nursing at the RK MacDonald Nursing Home in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
Two Scoops of Raisins?
Published:
Last evening I had to pick up some odds and ends at the grocery store so I braved the bitter cold weather (-22C) and drove to Sobeys. I picked up a box of Raisin Bran, because you know… it’s fantastic cereal. Anyways, I pour a bowl this evening and lo and behold… I’m not seeing a lot of raisins here. 2 Scoops? Not in my box! Is there some sort of Raisin shortage that I didn’t hear about on CNN? Or has Kelloggs decided to take the all too common route of slowly screwing the consumer over time? You tell me.
Days Off. Errands and Stuff.
Published:
After a few straight days at work, it’s always nice to have a couple days to sleep in and catch up on your errands. I went to bed early last evening and got up relatively early this morning (~8:30AM). A run to the bank, Walmart, the Cellular Centre highlighted my morning.
Football Parity?
Published:
Parity is the buzz word this season in the NFL. There seems to be a lot of balance; any team can win on any particular day (Unless you’re wearing a St. Louis Rams jersey).
Insert Witty Title Here
Published:
I couldn’t think of an interesting way to start this post off.
Work. Changes. Stuff.
Published:
Now that you all know I’m stuck back in the friendly confines of North Bay after a wonderful trip south, I should probably update you on what I’ve been up to!
Championship Sunday: My Picks
Published:
That’s right folks, again it is time for Jim to unveil his weekend football picks. I know you’ve all been losing sleep in anticipation…
Not Much To Report
Published:
Ahh Monday afternoon. I start in on four consecutive night shifts this evening at work so I’m trying to conserve as much energy as I can. However, once Friday morning arrives I’ll be off again for a couple of weeks. This is always welcome. My plans for my time off? I’ll probably relax on the weekend, catch up on my sleep and watch some playoff football. I also have another product evaluation to write up for 2CPU.com, which I’d like to get out of my queue. I’m getting tired of testing hardware that I don’t really care about anymore, at some point it’ll have to stop. I’d like to get a regular column somewhere where I could editorialize to my heart’s content. Maybe someday. In the interim, I’ll have to start in on that book. Alicia and I have talked about it at length and I have a topic, a title, and a preface worked out in my head. No leaks on this one, you’ll just have to wait and buy a copy.
Playoff Picks: Week 2
Published:
Alright, I’m 1 and 4. I must improve, so here we go again. First let’s list the games on tap for this weekend:
Wildcard Weekend: Fun for the Whole Family
Published:
That’s right folks, the playoffs are here. It seems as every weekend of football has passed this season, I’ve realized more and more how much I love the game of football. I wish back when I was growing up, I would have lived in an area with readily available football program.
VISA. I Have Vanquished Thee!
Published:
Aha! You know how the Holidays go, that VISA balance just climbs like it has a mind of its own. I’m proud to say that I already have mine under control. VISA really has to hate me. They love sucking in those poor souls who’ll run a large balance for long periods of time. “Just pay the minimum payment”, they’ll say. Evil.
Holidays Behind. Good Times Ahead.
Published:
It’s 2002… isn’t that amazing? I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family. I know I did. My trip to Nova Scotia for Christmas went very well. It was great to spend some time with my family in my boyhood home. I always feel comfortable there.
