iDentify file list
So let’s say you have a bunch of movies or TV shows converted for your Apple TV / iPhone / iPad / iPod. It syncs and plays great on your devices–but something is missing! Its the metadata (aka tags).

Fido LCA (roughly the same as Telus)
Recently I was wondering what the borders of my ‘local calling area’ were. The LCA is the set of boundaries, on any provider, in which you can place calls without being charged long-distance. Telus Mobility doesn’t have a public map (or even a list) available of their LCA.
So below I’ve placed a list of townships you can call, while physically in the Greater Vancouver Area, without being charged long distance.
Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Aspen Park, Bowen Island, Cedar, Chemainus, Cloverdale, Coquitlam, Duncan, Fulford hrbr., Gabriola, Ganges, Gibsons, Gulf islands, Haney, Ladner, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan, Langley, Lantzville, Mission, Nanoose, New Westminster, Newton, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Port Mellon, Port Moody, Qualicom Beach, Richmond, Sardis, Sechelt, Steveston, Vancouver, Whalley, White Rock, Whonnock
