I thought it was just my piece of crap, hacked HTC Dream, as it's had issues since the get go. (Also on Rogers) Text messages taking 4+ hrs to get through or not at all. People phoning me getting the "this customer cannot be reached" message. Me not having reception despite the phone saying I do. I wonder what the heck is going on, I've had really decent customer service from them, and usually pretty good cell service, and I am really not interested in going back to Telus who were super evil to me before!

I switched to koodo/telus and have never had an issue. it seems to be a common solution for most people on the west coast.

The founder or main members of a project will still do 99% of the hard work. That has been my experience with my projects unfortunately. Even my calls for Supercache testers on my blog only garnered a few RTs on Twitter and one or two comments. Then people will bitch and complain about broken features (that work fine on my sites) because they weren't widely tested .. /rant PS.Good luck in the new job. You just happened to catch me at a bad moment. :) That’s true to a certain extent but I’m more cynical about it. The founder or main members of a project will still do 99% of the hard work.

EEEEEEE= this is your 7 digit account number. the full account number needed for pre-autorized payments as well as direct deposit consist of the last 2 groups, so DDDD-EEEEEEE If by any chance the account was a previous Canada Trust account opened prior to 2003, the designation code (DDDD) will probably not be there as this was originally a coding from TD bank. The format is: AAA-BBBBB-CCC-DDDD-EEEEEEE

AAA= Cheque number, found in the top right hand corner as well
BBBBB=Transit number, which is the branch number + 1 digit to identify province of origin
CCC= Institution code, for TD, 004 as mentioned above
DDDD= this is something called designation number, in some cases the same as branch number, but in most cases different, this is only used for pre-autorized payments.
