Jay’s Life

In this mature internet culture. Where finances and government services are online and part of our every day lives. I think it’s time that companies be held accountable to providing access to their services regardless of the Browser used to access those services, akin to buildings requirements to provide alternative access for individuals unable to use stairs.

Take for instance, Great West Life. They have an excellent website, if you use Internet Explorer. If you use Safari, it has a myriad of issues from timing you out of your session, to flat out crashing.

TV.com is another good example. It falls apart in all browsers other than Internet Explorer under Windows. The only thing that is universal is their advertisements.

It’s time that sites be held accountable to their customers for the quality of service they provide. Mac and Linux users may be the minority, but they deserve equal access to online services.

Dear FedEx,

If this is your idea of Handle With Care, you need to review what that phrase means. I’ve been waiting 7 weeks, for my one of a kind hand made figure to ship to me, you guys suck.

Here is a little math for you.

Under Rogers old data pricing. You had to pay $0.05/Kb. Under their new pricing, you can buy 6Gb for $30. That’s a new price of $0.0000047/Kb. Hell of a discount for Rogers, gouge your customers much over the years?

Your overall savings over the old price model? $314,542.80

What the fuck Rogers? How on earth do you justify your past pricing?

Now that I’ve seen the new Batman movie twice I have some advice. If you havn’t seen it go. If you have seen it but havn’t seen it in IMAX, go again.

I’d like to upgrade my phone and my wife’s phone to iPhones. However I don’t understand why the phones have 2 different prices and are both more than if I was a new customer.

I was quoted $224 for the first and then $349 for the second. Why do I have to pay a $175 penalty for already being a customer?

A customer for nearly a decade no less.

How is that fair?

Staysea and I went to see Iron Man with Marnie & John and Andrew and his brother last night. It was really good. I’m quite impressed with how well the last few runs of comic book superheros have been translated to live action.

I’m really looking forward to the new Batman movie too. I was already impressed with Batman Begins, much closer to the genre of the first modern Batman movie with Michel Keaton.

I’m not usually a conspiracy kinda guy. I believe that the Moon landing happened and that there really were dinosaurs. But I find it convenient that when the Olympic flame is being dogged by such bad press and protests on it’s way to Beijing, that the Chinese government plays the Terrorist card and distracts the media. It’s just a diversionary tactic as far as I’m concerned.

Thanks to who ever was in front of me at Tim Hortons and bought my coffee. Nice to know there are people committing random acts of kindness.

Here is the really short of it. DO NOT INSTALL.

Here is a short list of the sites that do not render properly that I found so far, and had to stop looking because I needed to get real work done.

• Google Maps - Completely Unusable
• SalesForce.com - Forms render but controls are unusable.

This beta doesn’t even qualify as a beta.

I can not believe that the new electoral reform was not adopted in the referendum. Mixed Member Proportional made perfect sense. It allowed those who wanted to split their vote to do so, and those who didn’t not to.

For those who opposed it what was your problem? You realize you could have simply voted the party of your choice in both cases right? Or was it just your ignorance that lead you to follow the same old way?

If you don’t understand the question, DON’T FUCKNG VOTE!
