My ASCII Collection
As some of you may know, I used to be
highly involved in the ASCII art scene years ago, so I finally got
around to putting up most of my ASCII designs on the web. If
you're into the oldschool ASCII scene, then check it out, and
hopefully enjoy.

USPS and Canada Post suckage
Seems like all I have is nothing but
bad luck with parcel deliveries. Ordered a laptop from ebay last
month, took a while for usps to get it to the Canadian border. When
it got there, customs held it for nearly a week...blah.... When it
was finally released from customs into Canada Post's care, Canada
Post's tracking system said that it was out for delivery the day
that I checked... So i waited all day, when I could have done more
important things, and they never showed up. Check again in the
evening, and it says it's been transferred to a postal outlet for a
carded pickup, saying that they tried to deliver the parcel, but
that there was no answer. Such deceipt and laziness by Canada Post
employees, to avoid actually doing their job and delivering
packages... This isn't the first time that they've done this to me,
and I'm sure it won't be the last. I eventually got my laptop,
thankfully, but the delivery experience has rubbed me the wrong
way. Isn't there a decent delivery service out there? Going to have
to try FedEx next time, and hope for better results.
