I decided one night a few days ago that I wanted to take a casual portait of myself on a white background.  For the technical challenge of it and because I didn’t really have anything quite like what I had in mind… What can I say, these things happen to me sometimes.  IN any case, [...]

Wow, I can’t wait to play with the new Mac operating system.  It’s already in the hands of Fed-Ex.  Currently sitting in Calgary.  I probably won’t have it in my hands until Monday or Tuesday, depending on whether someone is home when FedEx rings the door bell.

Yesterday our Internet was successfully installed.  The installation was quick and professionally done.  The download speed is much faster than that of Telus, and the upload speed is incredibly fast.
This is a little bit of a surprise as we had the fastest connection available for a non-business from Telus, where as this is not the [...]

Shaw came when they said they would and did what they said they would.  We have Internet again!!!  I can’t wait to get home and plug in!

I have never had such poor customer service from a company as from Telus in Vancouver, BC, Canada recently.  I have to put this in writing.  It’s totally unacceptable. 
When we moved recently I phoned Telus 3 weeks prior to our move to have the Internet set up the day of our move.  The Internet is [...]
