I mentioned before that I was having trouble getting a response from spacing magazine about a subscription extension that went missing.
Today, finally, someone responded to me. This is after sending an email, leaving a phone message, and posting a few digs on this blog, twitter and facebook.
I had posted another link to my previous blog entry on facebook yesterday and received a message from Matthew Blackett this morning. I replied to his message, filled out the Customer Service form on their website as requested and waited. A short time later, I received an email saying that my subscription will be reinstated as of the next issue.
I am pleased that is resolved but it shouldn't have been this difficult to get a response -- ANY response -- from spacing about my complaint.
@gapadventures I would definitely bring my camera ... and comfy shoes

I've been struggling for days trying to get the run-periodic-tasks script for my MovableType blog to work. After posting a message on the forum I stumbled across yet another Activity Log in the admin section. This was the System Activity Log whereas I had been checking the Activity Log for my blog itself.
In the System Activity Log it mentioned that it couldn't write a lock file in the /tmp directory. Probably because I didn't have a /tmp directory. I created the directory and, boom-sha-boom, everything is working now.
I'm expecting to stick with MT for a while but I don't find it the easiest software to figure out and / or configure....

Installed an accordian door in the laundry room, did some gluing and updating server software (perl, apache, what fun). Decided to revert old netbook to original OS (Xandros) and now have decided that Unbuntu would be more fun.
Oh, the joys, I tell you...

At Danforth and Morton in east Toronto there sits a Toronto Hydro-Electric building. There were great, large trees on the street side of the property until this past March when this happened:
One of them was definitely diseased; the center rotten and barely any wood left surrounding it. But still, I was moaning and complaining about how trees all over the neighborhood were being removed and not replaced.
And then this week, a miracle:
New trees in almost exactly the spots where they removed the old ones. Our urban forest lives on!
