It’s not cool when you return home with great ambitions to clean up the house before your Dad gets there on Friday to find out that the power has been out since 3:00. Even more convenient is the fact that I am the slowest unpacker ever which leads to not having flashlights or candles handy. As soon as the sun started going down, I managed to nab a shirt for work tomorrow and headed to the girlfriend’s place. It’s nice to be around little comforts like electricity and the Internet (Internet is supposedly being hooked up on Friday at my house).
Question: Why is it that Rogers needs to come into your house to hook up the Internet connection? We all know this isn’t necessary…I have the modem from my old place. All I have to do is hook it up to the cable outlet and voila! The technicians know very well as I do that the cable connection is on the side of someone’s house down the street. The excuse they gave me was something along the lines of ‘configuring it so you have most optimum connection known to man’ whereas I think it’s a ploy to check if I have pirate connections or worse; add something to the line which prevents the piracy of the cable signal. Yikes! Stay tuned. On Friday, they may be tracking my every move and this site may disappear within a keystroke.
Update: So I got a phone call last night from a machine saying that my power is back on. I thought that was a neat feature from Hydro One. They even had it set up so you could press 1 to confirm you had power, or 2 if you didn’t.

“girlfriend”?
Please let Carrie know that this is confirmed, as she said she was out of the loop.
Well that’s interesting. She asked me last week.
Girl Friend!!!!! I want to see her
Yes. I am also intrigued by the word ‘girlfriend’. What is it? What does it mean?
What’s this, no one knows about the Palmer work fling? Or am I waaaay out of the loop.
Lol, on another note, if your going to sign your posts “anonymous” you really should not make requests.
Another note dude, nice blog. But, talk to Mr. Smith about his wicked online picture viewer.
This is an interesting topic on its own.
“What is a girlfriend?”
Is this someone you hang out with?
Is this someone you have to entertain with Star Wars movies?
Is this someone who you just call your girlfriend so the rest of the populace will stop harassing you with questions like “Is she your girlfriend yet?”.
Yes…what is a girlfriend?
Fascinating subject really.
I also like the anonymous comments left on the website. Heh.
Are you talking about the Google one that you and I were trying out? It’s great for instant picture viewing but I don’t know if there was a hosting option.
I’m going to join up with flickr.com which have some neat plugins.
no no not picassa, ask ryan smith to see his online pictures.
I think this comment string deserves it’s OWN Blog Page
I think the Roger’s guy thought you were cute and wanted to place cameras around your house!
