Every time I've been to The Ballroom and wanted to bowl, I've ended up waiting for 3 hours and leaving without getting a lane.
IRC, by the way, EvilMario set up ages ago and then ABANDONED: irc.gamecubecafe.com #toronto-age

It should just be on rizon, since that's where a lot of the other GAF IRCs seem to reside anyway.
I have a coupon for a free hour of bowling though!
Bowling isn't necessary really. Cheap drinks, ping pong and kinect aren't a bad combination. The upstairs area is very large, and if we make reservations we can reserve a nice long table for everyone.
Plus it's right downtown so we could always bar hop after that.
It's also a block from where I work, so it could be a flooded hole in the ground and I'd vote for it.

Bag milk is good. Makes less waste, easier to squeeze into the fridge. Long live bagged milk.
Haha, sorry. Channel was so dead, but I do join occasionally when I log on to Dorksnet. You guys should feel free to join and chat.

jug milk is better, because finding something to cut open those bags is annoying.
I have these neat little things I keep in a drawer in the kitchen. They're like these two blades with a hinge in the middle so they slide next to each other and cut anything that you put in the middle of them.
I think they're called "hinge blade cutters"

The Ballroom is that popular? I was supposed to go there a couple of weeks ago.
Not only are the drivers insane, the parking lot itself is a maze. I almost miss taking the bus there. (Almost.)

hmm, im not finding anything for hinge blade cutter. where did u get it.
Most milk bag holders come with one. You can usually find extras in grocery stores in the milk section.
Stick one of these on your fridge and you'll never have to worry about it.
Lived my whole life here. Milk always in a bag. Scissors always in drawers.
Never knew a product for this purpose existed...

lol the guy that got shot by police in the west end happened right around my house and I didn't realize until tonight when i saw it on t.v , dunno how I missed it
It's an excellent product. I don't know where to buy them though, my mom gave one to me.
You don't have kitchen shears or scissors laying around??
Seriously, it's a staple in the house. We have 3 or 4 pairs of scissors in the kitchen. Plus a few more pairs around the house randomly.
This is what I have. Also, my milk holder has a slot on it for clip to fit in so it is on my milk container all the time. I'm not sure exactly where my wife found it, but most likely at either the grocery or Dollar store.Stick one of these on your fridge and you'll never have to worry about it.
What? We have 5% milk?
They call it "light cream," but to me it will always be milk.

So I've almost gotten my Diploma, and more importantly, I've finally gotten to the point where I am starting to get comfortable with my programming skillz, specifically C#/ASP and the .NET framework in general.
I want to start looking for a job, something decent than the part time Best Buy work I'm currently doing, and I want to start looking before I get my Diploma. Can anyone give me advice on how to land a job in the field in Toronto? I understand it's competitive, so I don't want to be lax about this at all.
So far my plan is build a portfolio - a web based on specifically where the website itself will contribute to my portfolio =p. I already have a couple of friends who have asked me to work on web sites for them, and I figure I'll do it pro bono and just use those for my portfolio. I want to have a diverse amount of items available on my portfolio, but I don't want to get too ambitious. I also want something to really 'set me apart from the pack' as it were, and was thinking about having a link to a youtube video on the home page, which would be a 1minute long professionally done talking head.
These are mostly ideas rumbling around in my head, nothing set in stone - but I realize I need to get started sooner rather than later. This is half a "Sup Toronto Gaf, this is what's going on in my life" post, and the other half a "Uhm... advice would be awesome" post.

Yep. It's over. Webster was fired.

And as a result, no one of any intelligence is going to want to work for the city until Ford is gone.
I don't know, he got a nice severance package. I would take 400k to get fired.

Let me fix that: No one of any intelligence or integrity will want to work for the city until Ford is gone.

I think it's very intelligent to be known as the person who got paid almost half a million dollars for having the right idea.

What kind of people do you want working for the city?
a) People who want to do a good job and improve the city.
b) People really don't care about getting fired because they can get a nice chunk of cash.
c) Toadies.
Because "a" is off the table now.

It doesn't really matter what I want at this point with the way things are going. Having people come and go just to collect a payout would just be par for the course.

One again Ford is showing his respect for taxpayers by burning more money.
Well now he can claim another deficit crisis and cut more things!
