Making some notes...

[dewline]

- 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.

- 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.

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