DigitalHome has published an article and a list of HD channels available in Canada. The list includes recent changes; For example, Shaw and StarChoice recently added HDNet to their lineup.
An excerpt (via DigitalHome):
As of April 2007, there are thirty-seven English and nine French language high definition channels available in Canada not including specialty pay per view channels, HD Video on demand and periodic HD sports channels that are bundled with offerings such NFL Sunday Ticket or NHL Centre Ice.
The primary reason for our April update was the following three HD announcements from Cogeco, Star Choice and Shaw Cable. See the following links for more detail.
* Star Choice launches two HD channels today
* Shaw TV Channel line-Up changes start April 11th
* Cogeco announces more HD and VOD
I am a heavy e-mail user (aren’t we all) and depend on a solid IMAP client to get the job done. For the past 2 years or so I’ve been a Thunderbird guy. The Mozilla folks recently released Thunderbird 2.0, and I have been spending some time doing reconfiguration.
One task I needed to complete was re-arrange the order under which accounts appear in the folders. Here’s how to accomplish this:
Find your prefs.js file in your profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile name>\ for XP users)
Locate the mail.accountmanager.accounts property and modify it accordingly. Each account is represented by a string (eg. account2, account 3, etc). Simply re-order the strings to update the order in which they will appear
As most Canuck fans know, there was almost a very rare event early in the 3rd period of the Canucks’ Game 5 tilt vs Dallas. The Stars’ Louie Eriksson attempted to pass the puck to Mike Modano at the point during a delayed penalty call against the Canucks. What resulted was a bad pass which went past Modano, banked off the boards and slid all the way down the ice, just *grazing* the post, almost resulting in a Canuck goal. Amazing stuff.
According to a USA Today blog post, the Canucks are expected to introduce new uniforms (blue, green and white) on Aug 1. Apparently this has been common knowledge for some time now, but I just read this today. Further research found this from the Vancouver Sun (Feb 24/2007)
“Right now we’re ordering next year’s inventory blindly,” says the owner of a sporting goods outlet in North Vancouver. “All we’ve been told is that the colours of the uniforms will be blue, green and white, but we don’t know what the crest is going to look like. The current killer whale [or orca] jersey, as we understand it, will be kept in reserve and occasionally be used as a ‘classic’ uniform.”
