I received this a few hours ago from my ISP, Teksavvy.
I object that:
If there was really a scarcity tariffs should be priced at decreasing marginal rate, not at a punitive one
This affects everyone but the deadline is tonight, and there’s been no public consultation
Dear Valued Customer,
We are writing to you today as many activities are […]
For sure, I think most quickly and creatively when I talk out loud.
And I express most succinctly when I type.
Too often I have flourishes of thoughts that I wish I could reclaim.
Sometimes I’ve gone so far as to record them as audio files.
And now, I hope, I’ve found a means to blend these two worlds: […]
If Rogers’ questionable policy of redirecting DNS misses wasn’t already enough, this has got to be:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20824864-URL-Manipulation
What Rogers has done is review the URL structure used by this feature when using the Microsoft Live.com search provider. This particular provider takes what is typed into the address bar, when DNS name resolution fails redirects your entry too:
»search.live.com/results.aspx?q=y···-Address

Toronto’s tech sector is on fire!
When I first arrived in Toronto in 2004 I found very little in the way of Tech community. I was told that the Dot Com Crash had pretty much annihilated every shred of enthusiasm this city had left to offer.
Today, in 2008, there’s no doubt in my mind that […]
Some of you may have noticed on the upcoming page that March’s date for Toronto Wiki Tuesday was preliminary, due to a schedule clash on my diary. I’m settling on the 2nd Tuesday of the month whereever possible, making Toronto Wiki Tuesday on the 2nd weekday of the 2nd week of each month.
This month only, […]
Eeepc user? Take a look at these.

Fancy that, using just a full-size roll out keyboard, a 32GB SD card and a pocketsize projector capable of a 1m+ picture, you’d end up with full sized facilities in an ever-so lightweight and tiny 9″ bag.
I suppose though, with a roll-out keyboard and a micro projector throwing a […]
All credit goes to Andrew Butkus and the fabulous efforts of the WINE project (which allows some Windows software to function on the Linux Operating System).
Anyhow check out on http://www.slingcommunity.com/group/discussion/26840/Slingplayer-Linux-Install-Script-1.0b/
I just love this eeepc!
PS. If you think that slingplayer on the eeepc is ridiculous, check out this effort to run vmware player on the […]
Technology marches on, smaller, faster, cheaper.
This is especially pertinant at the ultralight end of laptops. My Asus EeePC is a diminutive (7″) laptop running Xandros, a windows-look-alike version of Debian Linix, had a 4GB solid state drive, built in wifi and webcam. The cheaper ones (surf models) don’t have webcams. Here’s the http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eee_hardware_faq

I’m just going to give a quick mention for Onaswarm, a product of Toronto firm BlogMatrix, and run by my friend David Janes.
The web has seen a plethora of sites become platforms, each site now holding some fragment of our digital lives. From that stems a problem: many of us find our attention fragmented across […]
Wordpress 2.0 introduced a mechanism for programmers and plugin authors to schedule programmatic tasks to be run at designated times in the future. Glenn Slaven in his article Timing Is Everything does a great job of describing how this works. (Sadly, Wordpress’s convention is that people write Wordpress documentation to their blogs rather than contributing […]
