is an interesting concept as they are
repurposing 3 of its major spaces. The first one is renovating Rexall
place. They want to include 7 sheets of ice on 2 levels for amateur sports like volley ball indoor soccer etc. Most likely they will remove some concourse and take out some
seats to accomplish this. The other proposal is to add a urban festival
park. Apparently Northlands is taking out the race track that's been there for decades and wants to
install a urban park where they can have midways, rodeo, summer concerts
etc. The 3rd concept is refurbishment of Hall D. They want to include a 5,000 seat arena and ice surface/concert space. These projects are all fine and well, but Northlands is a non profit organization. When opening up the study for comments, the most common response I get is, who is going to pay for this? If its private industry, ok. Taxpayers, no. A lot of people are still put off by the new Rogers Place arena.
I wanted to purchase a music app from the app store I noticed I had a $6 credit. Ok. So I tried purchasing an app from iTune. Then a window pops up saying I need to answer a few security questions. What? I've never had to answer any security questions before. So I cancelled that idea. After work last night I went to Shoppers across the street and bought a $15 iTunes card. I was more concerned about the numbers of the card being half torn off. When I got home the I pealed off the tape and the numbers on the back of the card were preserved. No problems. The apps store wanted to access my iPod's camera. I like this feature as it scans my iTunes card. Instant balance. Very happy. However when i went to order the app, I got the security questions again. I went to the manage security questions again and I keep getting trapped in a revolving door. I need to answer my security questions to edit the security questions. When you don't know the security questions your trapped. After so many times Apple locks you out.
After dinner, I stayed up to try and find a solution. I gave up resigning to call the Apple store Monday. If I can't get anywhere with Apple on this, then I might have to jailbreak my iPod. I don't want to do this but Apple might be forcing me if they can't fix my problem.
I'm out of here in about 2 hours for a 8 hour shift. Its mostly dialing on answering machines etc. Most likely I'll be doing cell phones again, uggh. At least the boss is ok with me working the other job. Its not related to what I'm doing here at all. There's no conflict of interest but at the same time there doesn't look like there is anything else on the immediate horizon, which kind of sucks. Anyway, that's about all for now.
is heating up. Harper has been playing stupid over this Netflix tax thing. Its been making the media rounds all over the place and is sort of a running joke. You can read about it here.
Lon Milo DuQuette will be on Coast 2 Coast later this morning. While I have a luke warm interest in ceremonial magick and the occult these days, I still consider myself sympathetic to Thelema but in no way active. This "interest" is kept at arms length as a casual observer, mostly brought about through nostalgia. It's always interesting listening to Lon discuss Ceremonial magick, Crowley and the Tarot.
It's been somewhat of a annual tradition. Every Spring Canadian science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer would release a new novel and take it on tour across Canada and arrive every April to Audrey's books to do a reading from his recent novel. He is the only author I'd ever buy a hard cover book from. His last visit was April 2nd 2013 at Audrey's. I always get a autograph copy. His last novel was Red Planet Blues. That was 2 years ago. He announced recently on his blog that his upcoming 23rd novel will be Quantum night. Of course, I'll order a copy and I hope to get it autographed again.
Yesterday morning I called the x-ray to cancel. I called my pcn to confirm my next appointment on the 13th at 10:15am. I'll be calling ei after I wake up to find out when I can report again. I'm joining Anne on her 3pm commute riding partway in with her parting ways at Bay Station. I'll be heading into the office to pick up my whopping 4.5 hour cheque and to get an update (if any) for work for next week. If all I get is a non committal response, then I'll be looking for something part time. I need something steady. I'll be doing the job search thing at the employment agency Monday if there's nothing forth coming. After I pick up my cheque today, I'm off to get a bite to eat at the food court. Anyway, that's all for now.
