ed_rexIt's Nuit Blanche here in Toronto and I am trying to convince myself to get out and see what's up, or else head over to Lee's Palace for the Mudmen (who dat? A band; beyond that, I know nothing). But the chill air wafting through my office window, and the autumnal sounds of wind and rain, conspire to keep me inside, slaved to my computer like some pale, basement dwelling troll.
We'll see.
Earlier this week, I did get out - meeting one of you in fact, a lovely and intelligent woman with whom I shared a few drinks and was delighted to start to get to know.
After, she did say that, in person, I was not much as I appear to be online. And so, in keeping with yesterday's break with Young Geoffrey's journal-istic traditions, a poll (to be fair, those of you who have met me should refrain from voting).
[Poll #834000]
All right. Time to get myself a life.
We'll see.

What they (two different support people) told me was that my temporary password would be my phone number without the area code.
My first paragraph, above prompted me to try an experiment. "How's about with the area code, Young Geoffrey?"
Bingo.
My battery lasted just long enough to change the password and to delete 1 message from Bell, telling me they had taken over control of my phone-line.
24 messages(! I don't normally get 25 messages in a month; what's going on?) to go. When the swine is re-charged.
Why would they tell me the password didn't include the area code when it did?!? Don't they have a standard method of operation on these things?
I look forward to hearing your message in an hour or so.
