Hopefully, he doesn’t read my blog anymore…. 😀 But this is him: That’s David, and he’ll be 17 in August. I actually have 4 sons, and they are all awesome – the older three range in age from 30 to 26 so David really is the baby. He’s been involved in karate since he was …
My mom made me take typing lessons in Grade 9. It was not a Grade 9 course, but I had to fill my high school schedule with something and the Grade 10 typing course was available. To be honest, I was not really keen on taking typing lessons and new I would be one of …
Early childhood memories. Look at that image, and realize that it all used to be farmland, and some of my earliest memories are of that area – but it was nothing like what it is now. I am sorry for such a large image, but I wanted anyone who finds this interesting, to see all …
I made a silly mistake with some DNS entries (yes, ironic after writing the post last week on DNS Resolvers and CloudFlare) – but nevertheless, a mistake was made and I did not notice until early this morning. I know I have simply hundreds and thousands of “Ianism Fans” out there who missed me 😛 …
I haven’t ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon over the years, but the odd book here and there. Last year, I decided to check out what was available on the website after hearing about some great prices. Generally though, I’m more of a “loyal” person and it takes more than to save a few …
Most people who visit websites and browse the internet rely on the default DNS resolvers that their internet providers, provide them with. A DNS resolver is a server that helps your website determine where a website that you want to visit, is. It’s sort of like a phone book in a way, but not exactly. …
For those of you still following “Ianism,” and those that might be interested (if you have a business website, you should be), we’ve published an in-depth article on website speed issues. We’re seeing so many “new” web development agencies come along that really have no clue about the importance of website speed, image sizes, correct …
Many years ago, I had a popular website and blog that focused on winemaking. Back then, there were probably half a dozen websites devoted to the hobby and art of winemaking including Jack Keller’s site (which sadly seems to be offline now). While not an expert at home winemaking (you’ll have to get in touch …
How insane can some activist academics be? Honestly, I fear for the future of my children (and grandchildren should I ever have any) with the way the world is going – and the fact there are so many so-called “educated” people who obviously have little education in reality. Today, we see this more and more …
“John Christy and Roy Spencer are pro-fossil fuel and anti-scientific consensus.” ~Dana Nuccitelli I am “anti-scientific consensus” as well. In fact, blindly supporting a consensus IS anti-scientific. When scientists and science “journalists” attack others for suggesting contrarian ideas, and use names such as “denier,” they are actually acting as bullies. Sometimes the only way to …
So the Government of Canada has produced a new “Food Guide” and shortly after it was released to the public, there were many journalists, dieticians, and food lovers discussing it. Personally, I think it is rather naive and just another sign of the “nanny state” attempting to influence our lives and in this case, our …

A few weeks ago, as posted, BC’s David Farrel published a video review of KirIan herbs – herbs imported from Greece. At that point, we had our Greek Mountain Tea in Canada, but our packaging was not ready yet. Now, we’re so very proud that we have been shipping for a few weeks now, and …
As many of you know, Kiriaki and I began a small “import” business, importing Greek Oregano to Canada. We’ve grown the business and now also offer Greek Saffron (considered by many gourmet chefs to be the best and most dependable in purity, and will be offering thyme and Mediterranean bay leaves (laurel) very soon. David …
Ever thought about where you’d like to be buried (assuming you want that over cremation)? This is a beautiful spot in a beautiful part of the country, not far from where I live: Mono Cemetery
Ahhh! Real genuine Greek souvlaki – honestly, there’s nothing like it anywhere else, at least that I have ever found in Southern Ontario. And one of the best you’ll get is at a restaurant in Nea Filadelfeia, a suburb of Athens, Greece. It was my first evening back in Greece (since January – and my …
