I’ve tried, but so far failed, to find the proper URL to use in my wireless phone to access the CBC’s wireless offering. Does anyone in the readership have this information?

Here’s a page at the CBC that lists all of their electronic mailing lists.

A lot of Hollywood movies open on Christmas Day. The interesting thing about this year’s lineup here in Charlottetown is that I would happily go and see any of the seven movies scheduled:

  • Cheaper By The Dozen
  • Mona Lisa Smile
  • Paycheck
  • Peter Pan
  • Something’s Gotta Give
  • The Last Samurai
  • The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King

Okay, maybe I wouldn’t happily go and see The Lord of the Rings but that’s only because I consider the entire franchise weird and unnatural.

Apparently this afternoon I met Sandy Peardon without knowing it, thanks to a social engagement skills deficit on the part of Dan James (i.e. Dan either forgot to introduce me, or mumbled when he did so). It may be possible to chock this up to Dan’s fever-induced delerium.

I wonder if it would be possible to use XSLT to transform the local CBC website from HTML into an RSS feed?

Rob's Barn Rob Paterson is organizing a post-holiday blogger bash on January 13, 2004 at his barn in Bunbury.

This is shaping up to be the must-attend geek event of the winter season, so get your RSVPs in early. Rob is providing beer, and promises to dance. Dan and Steven have committed to not dancing (I fully support this, and will join them in solidarity).

The only thing this party is missing is a special mystery visitor from a foreign land. Any takers?

Try this. Construct a URL as follows:

http://realcharlottetown.com/streetname/streetnumber

Replace streetname with the name of your street, substituting an underscore (_) for any spaces and replace streetnumber with your street number. Now visit the URL in your web browser.

For example:

If every address in Charlottetown had its own URL, what could we use this for?
