p4w now in queen's' hands...
queen's and the whig are both reporting on the final sale of the entire p4w grounds (8 acres) to queen's for a tidy sum of somewhere in the neighbourhood of 5 million.
btw - the whig has a new site design that ranks up there with some of the oddest reconfigurations i can remember... it's pretty ugly. it would appear that they are trying to do away with most of the images on the site and work in javascript and css in its stead. the good thing is that the number of articles available has jumped considerably. i would nix the sky blue colour scheme (ugh!) and perhaps try out some more imaginative fonts... you also need a map and gps system to find the whig logo (about two inches down, on the left).
anyway... in other news the city finally released the newest newsletter on the lvec (a full month late i might add). the 'monthly newsletter' skipped august it would seem although it sure makes up for lost time by providing such riveting info as the fact that the noise from concerts in the surrounding area would be 5 decibels less than expected as "This reduction was achieved as a result of including the lower roof wall, which was not fully designed when the original concert modelling was completed."
so... that means that the lower roof wall has been redesigned... interesting. i guess we'll have to wait until it's finished to see what that means. as of yet we're still operating on the 90% plans that were tabled over a year ago - no new plans have been released.
the webcam of the site does show that the bubble wrap top is now in place and much of the sides are quickly resembling, well, sides.
i will hopefully be getting internet soon (primus contacted bell on the day that we were supposed to be hooked up and bell said that we weren't hooked up (they showed up 2 hours late anyway - but we were hooked up, only to a phone line around the corner) and so they canceled our connection... no, they didn't phone and ask us anything). oh, and primus phoned last night to tell us that they were connecting things next week... but the message was only in french. gah! i phoned the number and asked the woman who answered (and was ticked that I wanted english on the french line) to hear the message in english and she said no... she couldn't do that, and besides, i wasn't on the account anyway. i hung up on her.
