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.
