Snippets #2
Welcome to the 2nd in my series of “snippets” blog posts. See here for my first.
Snowbirds Photos
See my blog post.
The Kiss
I never post anything online about Trump, but in this case I’m making an exception.
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, well this picture got way more than 1000 words of coverage.
The picture was so popular it even got its own hashtag.
CUPE Strike?
Things are heating up in education in Ontario, not for the good. 93% of CUPE employees have given the authorization to strike. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
ECOO’s Annual BIT Conference – Early Bird Special
Are you attending the annual BIT conference? Register before October 1 to advantage of the early bird special. Details here.
I’ll be presenting on a project I’m pursuing called #100DaysOfCode. Please consider attending!
WordCamp Niagara
…is looking for volunteers. Local teachers may wish to ask their videography students to consider volunteering as this would count towards their 40 hour volunteer time requirement for their OSSD.
I hope to see you there!
The 500 Rule

Uninstalling Microsoft Photos
Every so often I hear my CPU fan spinning up wildly. A quick check of the Windows Task Manager reveals the culprit to be the Windows Photo App, an app I never use so I decide to delete it.
A quick Google search and I find the basic instructions to do so, summarized here:
- Open PowerShell (Windows-X, then select PowerShell (Admin))
- Enter the following command, then sit back and wait:
-
Get-AppxPackage *photo* | Remove-AppxPackage
-
- All done!
My CPU can now rest peacefully.
