  • 10:01 Canadians in Egypt are being evacuated to Germany... via Amman, Jordan. Um, why not just stop the plane in Jordan? #
  • 10:02 ..."Most Canadian visitors to Jordan do not experience problems." www.voyage.gc.ca #
  • 10:05 @nonpromqueen Well, if it is, than the Canadian government needs to update their travel warning! #
  • 10:07 @cr0vax La frontière Egypte-Gaza est temporairement fermé, mais à ma connaissance la frontière Egypte-Israel est encore ouverte. #
  • 10:19 @cr0vax Ouin, mais 400 km dans le désert fait de bien meilleurs histoires de voyages. :) #
  • 10:26 The Skyling charter evacuation of Canadians from Egypt to Frankfurt would cost less if we brought Germans on the way there. Think about it. #
  • 10:36 If you are stuck in Cairo, Israel and Jordan are only 8 hours by car away. Just saying. twitpic.com/3v6fmz #
  • 10:46 Now that the harassment of AlJazeera is getting disruptive, who has the best non-Arabic coverage of the situation in Egypt? #
  • 10:54 LOL, skip to 3! :55. I guess it is not just Egyptians that are dissatisfied with their government. bit.ly/eiNvTh #
  • 11:28 @ted_avery "Our Fair Usage Policy is that if you exceed 5 gigabytes of data usage within a given billing cycle, we may slow your speed" #
  • 11:30 @ted_avery Also, please replace "Canada" with "Toronto", as BellAliant offers truly unlimited DSL Internet here in Atlantic Canada. #
  • 11:36 "So far this winter, the most snowfall Toronto has seen in one day is 11 cm. Last winter, it was 9.6 cm in one day." Different world there. #
  • ! 11:38 Cairo's airport can operate 24 hours a day, even in the curfew. Heathrow and Pearson? Not so much. #
  • 11:43 @CultureOfOne Are you sure it is 190, and not the multiple of 8, 1.5mbps? Try speedtest.net #
  • 11:48 What impact will the Egypt crises have on @WINDmobile (HQ in Toronto, overlords in Egypt)? #
  • 11:49 @ted_avery Rogers: parts of Ontario, NB and NF. Bell: Quebec and Ontario only. Big country. #
  • 11:54 @ted_avery You can try Rogers or Bell's Wimax, aka Portable! Internet. They officially charge for bandwidth but haven't figured ou t how to. #
  • 11:58 Remember, not one of your red cents will go to the Irish government when you buy a U2 Moncton ticket. #taxevaders #

  • 23:57 Instead of flying out Canadians in Cairo to London, wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to bus them to Israel (or to the ferry point for Jordan)? #

  • 13:08 As much I want to laugh at Peter Mackay for forgetting about WA and OR, I didn't know Arnold S. was no longer Governor of CA! #Maritimer #
  • 13:58 Egypt is burning. Well, not quite, but 4 channels adds a sense of urgency. twitpic.com/3u863t #
  • 22:14 @ShireenJ More likely a wireless router issue. Try changing wireless channel and moving router 1 foot from anything electrical. #
  • 22:21 The solution to Egypt's high unemployment? Build more pyramids! Like Vegas, good to keep things fresh. :) Dude, you are 82, time to retire! #
  • 22:24 @ShireenJ Well, wireless routers don't work any better over there...and if the issue is caused by CITY TV, then it wouldn't be better there #
  • 22:27 The Tunisians and Egyptians have inspired me the protest the lack of democracy at work. My boss acts like a dictator. (sarcasm) #
  • 22:29 I love when people try to influence the company I work for. Private sector companies don't listen to individuals, just focus groups. #
  • 22:33 @ShireenJ That pretty much proves it is NOT a DSL issue. Your phone cable isn't shared. Wireless channels and CITY computers: yes. #
  • 22:37 @ShireenJ Well, the Internet in general slows down in prime time, but since you are in Toronto and so is CITY, I doubt that is issue. #
  • 06:37 @ShireenJ Unless there is a major outage, Toronto Internet traffic stays in Toronto. That said, possible CITY's servers are somewhere else. #

  • 08:39 "one can tell where a train is headed by the direction from which it enters the station" latest gem I found on Wikipedia. #
  • 08:41 Dear Airtran, why don't you fly out of Burlington, Vt anymore? And please consider a late day flight out of Bangor, Me. #
  • 08:42 @LetoriaDiva FYI, hotels there are pricey this time of year. #
  • 10:44 "Saudi Arabia anticipates a rise in domestic energy demand, which within 20 years , approaching its current output." hmm #
  • 11:03 "French group Areva signed an agreement with! Bin Laden on cooperation in the fields of nuclear energy." bit.ly/gIommc #
  • 16:27 Pris dans la tempête? Pas grave, tou.tv (Radio-Canada) a maintenant une application iOS ! twitpic.com/3tyblw #
  • 16:37 French language TV and a metric converter in the top 3 free apps. Proud to be Canadian. :) twitpic.com/3tye95 #
  • 16:40 @dpjanes Bandwidth is free until you have to add capacity. Then it is freakishly expensive. Then it is free again... #
  • 17:16 Why MTV ! USA would buy a remake of Skins instead of the original UK version is beond me. twitpic.com/3tyop2 #
  • 17:19 ...Example 2. I think the actress playing Effe was 18 when this was filmed. twitpic.com/3typgw #
  • 18:21 @dpjanes Name one innovation that ever came out of Rogers Cable (Ted died richest man in Canada). #
  • 18:28 @CBCNB What kind of poutine? Acadian (aka râpé) or Quebec (cheese curds and fries)? #
