- I went to a Planning Primer at City Hall last night. Seemed like a good idea for various reasons, and I hope to do a write-up later on today, possibly for Spacing Ottawa. More as that develops. I'm filing my attendance under "research and networking" in my job search activity diary. After all, I can't afford to spend the next 4-8 years getting a doctorate in urban planning, so I need to fill my knowledge gaps however I can.

- [personal profile] siderea posted some thoughts on household planning for possible pandemics. Details here if you think that might be useful. "Siderea" tends towards the careful and thoughtful, so their opinions might be of some use to you.

- I've been trying to check the Public Service Commission website's available listings (Living in Ottawa, I have to include this in the search), and this is the message I got this morning:

"Secure Connection Failed

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

I'm wondering if this is a browser-version-specific issue. Here's the link:

I'm getting a 403 error page here. ...a custom 403 page, so someone on the server side knew how to set that up. As to the "why" of it???

When I hit the "Public Service Commission of Canada" header on the 403 page, I get a 404 error page (again, custom rather than stock).

They do offer a site map; that led me to this:
https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page2440?fromMenu=true&toggleLanguage=en

Best guess: the devs checked the local copy, but didn't leave their intranet to check from the outside world looking back in.

For anyone not familiar with these errors:
403: nope, you can't have it
404: nope, the page doesn't even exist

Not a problem; I'm like a terrier with a rat on web problems.

Hmmm... Try it again! I'm getting a login page now! Maybe they are checking their logs for errors and noticed us hammering them...
