Convergys Support Tech PO’d by Gamer

convergys.reflection Originally uploaded by Jezz

It turns out that a Convergys employee who was outsourced by ComCast in the US didn’t like the way a young gamer treated him and he proceeded to pull up the ISP account and inform the kid’s father of what was going on.

Long story short, ComCast finds out, tracks the worker down and demands Convergys remove the employee from working on anything related to them.

I must say, as much as I’d want to do this, it’s possibly the stupidest move by a techie. It’s not hard to track down who last accessed an account holder’s information and to use it in this matter is just stupid.

Sorry shred-stars even though this Winnipeg snowboarding season was Jib-ta-stick, like all it must come to an end….

Springhill Winter Sports Park is now officially closed for the season.
Frostfire Ski Area is now officially closed for the season.

But, if you’ve tucked your snowboard in bed already and it’s tossing and turning for a midnight snack, head over to The Asessippi Ski Area, Stony Mountain Ski Area or Holiday Mountain. Where some lifts will be running until the end of the weekend.

“Now thats snowboarding great even late…”

A Canada? Originally uploaded by AccessWinnipeg

Local EBgames have the Limited Edition packs for Metal Gear Solid 4 now in the system and available for pre-order. What we don’t have yet is information on the pre-order DVDs that are supposed to be given out at the time of the pre-order. Konami has confirmed that this promotion begins in April and all major North American retailers should be getting them within the 1st two weeks. Reports have popped up of some people getting the DVDs early, none of them are from Canada sadly.

The DVD is titled Metal Gear Saga 2.0 (a version 2 to the Metal Gear Saga DVD released with the pre-orders for MGS3: Subsistence way back when) and along with it… wait for it… a PSN code to download the Metal Gear Online Beta taking place on April 21st. Thanks for all your support through emails and Facebook PMs in regards to the MGS content. We’ll update you as soon as we get more info.

Save Gas Sign Originally uploaded by Neato Coolville

They said it was coming… and it came!! Winnipeg now has the HIGHEST gas prices in Canada.

Gas in Winnipeg right now is hovering around the 1.219 per litre price - just short of the record of $1.239 set in May 2007. Analysts predict that this is just the beginning - expect gas to average at the 1.300 per litre price and topping off at 1.500 per litre.

REMINDER:
Today is Friday, many gas stations around the city offer the .7 off a litre on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. So if this hike in gas prices is to remain. Its probably best to fill up now!

Seen a spot with cheap gas around the city? Let us know in the forums!

Reminder, Winnipeg

REMINDER: It’s GST Month Again!
