Posted on 03. May, 2010 by davejorr in Technology

I have downloaded a trial version of InDesign CS5 to test for compatibility with SignAgent Pro. Hopefully it plays nice and there is a nice performance boost as there was from CS3 to CS4. I will let you know my thoughts and what issue/ benefits arise and if it is safe to upgrade to.

Movember

Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by davejorr in Causes

I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer.  I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a donation.  The funds raised go directly to Prostate Cancer Canada.

What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to afflict Canadian men with 25,500 diagnosed and 4,400 dying from the disease each year.

Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.

To make a donation, you can either:

  • Click this link http://ca.movember.com/mospace/477107/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account , or
  • Write a cheque payable to ‘Prostate Cancer Canada’, referencing my Registration Number 477107 and mailing it to: Prostate Cancer Canada, 145 Front Street East, Ste. 306, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Prostate Cancer Canada will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please click [HERE].

Thank you
