Did a walk of shame tonight, luckily it was close to home at Queen/Jameson hence the walk (no point dicking about with **** on the street if I'm close to home). I'm heading to the show on Saturday rain or shine, but I'll be at the mercy of kid-timing - I figure I'll bring us down there for around 11/lunchtime so I don't have to do a crazy morning rush thing.

Snow schmoe, bring it on I say

I'll likely be heading over Friday afternoon around 2:00 or so.

And I likes snow. Rain and freezy goo not so much.

I was paying my bills. I had no internet thanks to water getting into the something-or-other box which was inside the fire zone down on Queen. The bell technicians could not get access to said box because it was inside the fire restricted zone. Unfortuneately, they did not feel like informing us of that until yesterday. So we had 6 mysterious and annoying days without internet. Bell can kiss my digital ass.

If you hadn't included red coat, I'm pretty sure no one would've had a chance at finding you.

Aw ballz, Jeremy beat me to it.

I just emailled a guy about a frame he is selling on CL and he said he will be going down to the bike show to sell it....how does that work? Is he going to stand in front of the show, hawking his wares? Or maybe he works at a shop and his boss okay'd him bringing his own frame?

When I move in May I'm switching to Teksavvy for internet access. I'm sick of Bell.

Won't you still be somewhat reliant on Bell for DSL services regardless of whom is providing them?
Teksavvy is a bulk reseller no? I see no mention of dedicated networks.
