I have ten pairs of Toronto Rock Lacrosse tickets to give away!

The games take place at the Air Canada Centre Scotiabank Arena and the seats are very good. Just tell me which ones you would like. A decision regarding who gets tickets will be made two weeks before each game and I will mail them to the lucky winner; while preference will be given to customers and those who tell me they’ve got a kid who plays lacrosse, anybody can win. If you win and don’t want your name publicized, that’s fine.

The games are:

The games are a lot of fun. One thing that has impressed me is that these guys’ technical skills are so good they can concentrate on strategy … there are a lot fewer loose balls than I remember from my days of box lacrosse at age 10!

The play-off game? There’s no guarantee that there will be one, but you could always try your luck and ask for them.

I have just learned that my land-line, (416) 604-4204, has been telling many callers that the ‘phone has been disconnected and worse, it has been doing so for about two weeks. As the ‘phone has retained its dial tone and ability to make out-going calls through this period, I had no reason to suspect a problem.

Bell Canada advises that the fault is on their premises and a technician will be fixing the problem during the afternoon on November 29. Until then, if you need to contact me, please send me an eMail with your number and I will call you.

Update 2018-11-29: Bell did nothing today. Maybe tomorrow.

I’m back in my old neighborhood!

My new address is:

10 Page Avenue (near Jane & Dundas)
York, Ontario
M6S 2P5
CANADA

There are several “Page” thoroughfares in Toronto.
Specifying “York” as the municipality is good.
Specifying that I am “Near Jane & Dundas” is even better!

All other contact information remains the same:

I have four more pairs of Toronto Rock Lacrosse tickets to give away!

The games take place at the Air Canada Centre and the seats are very good. Just tell me which ones you would like. A decision regarding who gets tickets will be made two weeks before each game and I will mail them to the lucky winner; while preference will be given to customers and those who tell me they’ve got a kid who plays lacrosse, anybody can win. If you win and don’t want your name publicized, that’s fine.

The games are:

The tickets for the January 27 game were given to a non-client … see, anybody can win! Assiduous Reader fed received the February 3 tickets and Assiduous Reader CC will be going to the March 3 game. PrefLetter subscriber AC won the tickets to the March 11 game. The next giveaway is for the game against Colorado Mammoth on March 30 (Good Friday) … get your eMails in! Or, get an early entry in for a later game!

The games are a lot of fun. One thing that has impressed me is that these guys’ technical skills are so good they can concentrate on strategy … there are a lot fewer loose balls than I remember from my days of box lacrosse at age 10!

The redeemable coupons can be exchanged for tickets for any game, but there are no guarantees regarding just what seats you will get. Still, if you would like to plan an outing for four, rather than just a pair, let me know and … you might get two ‘real’ tickets and the two coupons!

The play-off game? There’s no guarantee that there will be one, but you could always cross your fingers and ask for them.

Assiduous Readers will remember that I had problems with Live.com’s spam filters in February, 2016, which I addressed.

I now have more problems with these spam filters. I have been advised that the likely cause of the problem is registration-spam on PrefBlog; spammers open accounts with fake addresses and try to post comments; they are frustrated by earlier measures I took to eliminated comment-spam so they keep trying; and end up generating eMail sent to their fake addresses to tell them about their input errors.

For instance, late on Saturday evening, I had 143,601 registered users; now, about 38 hours later, I have 143,781 registrants. Canadian preferred shares have a global popularity I had never dreamed of!

So I have had to install another layer of protection around PrefBlog and in order to do this I had to upgrade PrefBlog’s software. I hate doing this because the WordPress organization is crammed full of teenagers who have never done a day’s work in their lives and therefore love to add features … ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if we required all inputs to be in Hungarian and then applied automatic translation to them? Awesome!’ So I’m probably in for another month of frustration as nothing will work the way it has before. Can’t wait.

However, my eMail problem will probably be solved, for a little while, until the industry’s big boys figure out a new way to force independent operators to use their services. All this nonsense could have been avoided twenty years ago by instituting a nominal charge for eMail, with a refund granted for eMail receipts (with various limits) that, for individuals, would almost always net out to zero. But the hippies didn’t like this; they interrupted their dope-smoking free-love vegetarian bead-making orgies for just long enough to whine that the Internet should be free and as a result we have expensive annoying messes like this. Hippies ruined the internet!

If you have any problems registering or signing in, please let me know and I’ll try to figure out how to fix it. I am hopeful that I will again be able to send eMail to live.com addresses in the near future.
