DOCUMENTATION FOR PERSONAL RECORD
December 01 of 2024: I ate my morning meal at Perkins restaurant across from the Mall. Since the LRT was fully closed untill noon time, used R1 West bound vehicle number 6519, this vehicle missed Lees station around 08h50.
December 01 of 2024: First day of snow of the second part of snow season of this year 2024 was seen falling around 14h00 in Ottawa.
December 01 of 2024: although I have had a Cisco web based account for a long time many years for WebEx app as a IEEE member benefit, just recently I bought a Cisco VoIP phone CP-7841 from eBay which was received on Nov 30, got powered up and connected to home LAN on December 01 of 2024, registration on LAN is in progress. This was the first time in my life that I owned and used a Cisco product at home, right here in Ottawa Ontario Canada K1G3P2. I hope it soon attaches itself to a SIP server/gateway for phone calls, everything is ready and set to go. Cheers and Hurray !! Wrote few messages to Cisco as well to complete this process, provided them with the details that they asked for.
December 02 of 2024: Spoke to the manufacture of the Cisco phone, to provide VoIP services to me on my phone, Cisco sales executive declined to provide services due to the size of the business, user licences issue (MOQ kind of a thing) and server setup etc. I offered him to set up a server on my laptop which I can connect to my home LAN but he did not agree. Perhaps there may be a third party service provider who can connect my phone to VoIP server/gateway. First commercially available VoIP product I came across many years ago probably 25 years ago when internet used to be slow and dial up etc. the product was Magic Jack, but people were discouraged from using it due to regulation etc. and it used to be kind of underground use of this technology to make calls with magic jack, but now there were so many VoIP providers which do the same thing as open source providers of this VoIP technology. Microsoft’s netmeeting and net2phone products were desktop PC based products similar to VoIP products of today almost 30 years ago.
December 02 of 2024: OCH has started receiving rent by interac/debit (in addition to other methods) due to Canada Post workers strike, according one of the posters I read in the building, at a specific location of OCH in Ottawa. I will use this interac/debit rent payment method starting from next month, instantaneous payment, no wait, no delays etc. First time I paid rent by interac/debit was in the year 2000 in Calgary.
December 02 of 2024: Ooma VoIP phone company based in California wrote me an email with incorrect email address, but since incorrect email address was also based on my own domain m0168.org, email message appeared in my in box. Please no mischief and no malicious activity with international customers. Perhaps someone was trying to show a returned email and not reachable email address.
December 03 of 2024: Two Octranspo Para Transit vehicles were seen stopped in the driveway around 11h15 (annunciator panel time 11h25) discrepancy of about 10 or 11 minutes, drove away within about 5 minutes.
December 03 around 11h33: a man was seen taking apart the buzzer/intercom system with a drill, at the entrance of 1909 Russell Rd. in Ottawa Ontario Canada K1G3P2. in a jiffy closed the buzzer/intercom panel and entered the lobby.
December 03 of 2024: lot of traffic of people was seen in the lobby in and out of the building between 11h15 and 11h40, in the elevators in the corridors, one man was seen coming out of the Electrical room in B corridor heading towards the lobby. People were seen sitting on the bench etc. talking perhaps gossiping etc.
December 04 of 2024: this was a snowy day in Canada.
December 04 of 2024: As of December 03 of 2024 I am a first time subscriber of MagicJack VoIP services, first time ever since the invention of this technology. If there were any other users subscribers of this technology with the same name as Engr. {(male) KhalidMahmood} must contact me immediately.
December 04 of 2024: This morning spoke to MagicJack VoIP customer service regarding my first time purchase and to verify that it was completed.
December 05 of 2024: this morning around 07h30 it was noticed that my emails which I was keeping in my inbox as transaction records were disappearing without deleting, I was retaining these messages because they contain some important information. I hope no one was stealing my email records from hosting servers. Just in case if some one was trying to audit purchase, please beware that it was purchased from the manufacturer directly in USA and paid by card in Canadian dollars, so statement will show the price converted to Canadian dollars amount which will be different in number than the amount in US dollars. Self appointed vigilantes should have been grown up by now during the past 30 years, if not may be possible due to natural causes such a lack of parental or adult guidance or mental capacity, which should addressed by the society to help such vigilantes sincerely for long term solution not as a temporary solution. Price of a merchandise in different currencies becomes different numbers in different currencies.
December 05 of 2024: after several calls to magicjack, matter was resolved around 10h30, a record of the purchase transaction showing the itemised list was received.
December 05 of 2024: I just spoke to Ooma VoIP phone company in California for my money not yet refunded back to my card which was used to take the money from, after cancellation of the order on November 29 of 2024, without equipment, without service, why would they take so long to refund the money back to my card.
December 05 of 2024: made trip to byward market downtown Ottawa across from Rideau centre for a beverage and to see night lights and back to my apartment by 23h00, was slippery and cold, windy weather.
December 06 of 2024: this morning it was noticed that mobile phones lacked accuracy to show the location. Browser was showing slight different location, perhaps misguided location, or some one else’s location who use a similar name as me. But I am at my ID address apartment 307 – 1909 Russell Rd, Ottawa Ontario Canada K1G3P2.
December 06 of 2024: walked to UPS store to find out about my delivery, tracking number was input into the system, I was told label was just created, item was not yet shipped from US. Also went to the Mister Safety shoes to buy woolen socks for winter cold weather. I used debit card to make the payment, cashier issued the merchant copy of the receipt, when I insisted on customer copy, cashier printed and handed me a duplicate customer copy, I wonder why these merchants were still keeping the customer copy of payment receipt and issuing the duplicate customer copy or merchant copy. There must be some element of fraud in it, which must be looked into, may be a disadvantage for the paying customers or perhaps even a malicious intents in this kind of transaction.
December 06 of 2024: As soon as I arrived at the building after a quick walking trip to UPS store 112 and Mister Safety shoes, a car came and stopped in the driveway around 14h15. A woman was seen sitting in the buffer zone on the bench. I used B side stairs to go up to my apartment, as soon as I opened the door marked 3B to enter my floor, some one came down quickly from upper floor in a hurry rushingly and said merci and sound of his shoes faded away, when I was unlocking my door a man came out of apartment 308 took a quick glance at me and walk away towards the elevators.
December 07 of 2024: I ate my brunch in Glebe area at a newly opened restaurant with a ambiguous brand using a word brown in it. what other restaurants serve as breakfast this restaurant serves as brunch. I was under the impression and personally experienced that word brunch was a combination of breakfast plus lunch, which must be reflected in the food served by the restaurant. Looks like to me that these days they ask the price of the words “brunch” but they serve the food which is not really brunch rather it was not even at par with other area restaurant’s breakfast. Such newly opened restaurants and their staff should be evaluated for their quality of food, accuracy of menu and pricing in relation to the names of the dishes on the menu and what they actually serve. Just newly decorated space and furniture, ambiance and a ambiguous name is not sufficient to attract customers. Unless they operate it as a cafeteria/dinning hall for some other organizations who send their hungry customers bound/must to eat at such n such location. Such restaurants can not compete with other better quality better standards restaurants in town.
December 07 of 2024: three tall men were seen talking in the corridor around 15h47 at the door of apartment which was across from apartment 308.
December 07 of 2024: I have made payment to magicjack for their product and services, although the total price was in us dollars, but since I live in Canada, I made a payment in Canadian dollars to pay the whole amount. Conversion rate changes on daily basis but it was made on a specific date in December 2024 so rate of that day/date will be applied to my purchase.
December 08 of 2024: around 12h40 a route 40 bus bound for Billings bridge boarded at stop 8810 and changed the sign to Hurdman bound. Looks like did not complete the route to Billings bridge and turned around from Elmvale back to Hurdman.
December 08 of 2024: this morning when I called Bell mobility to find out some information about the mobile hotspot ZTE device, my account PIN was found removed, this PIN was setup by my self in October 2024 at the time of setting up my four services bundle. I wonder why would they remove the PIN verification from my account. However I got re-established. It was interesting to know that there were some products and services for which phone staff wants customers to visit a Bell store, they don’t want to talk about those products and services on the phone such as tablets and data plans, smart watches, mobile hot spot devices such as ZTE. etc. theses days, I am detecting that Bell call centre staff and other businesses call centre staff is not as polite as it used to be many years ago, they always seem to be in a hurry and/or under pressure of some kind that they don’t want to listen to the customer, rather they try to push their agenda during the call. Perhaps they are trying to reple customers instead of attract customers.
December 08 of 2024: almost all ATM machines have the ability to accept deposit in an account when it was made using the card associated with the account such as a debit cards and the credit cards. But on error I have been noticing is that deposit made at the machine does not appear in the mini statement printed by the ATM machine, similarly a payment made to a credit card at the machine although appears in the mini statement printed at the machine but it does not appear in the transaction list on the phone. I spoke to credit card company over the phone about this discrepancy, I was told probably it was because of the range of dates, which I don’t believe, it was some other error, I listened to all the transactions for the previous month November 2024 and only one particular transaction was missing from the narration i.e. bill payment at the machine although it was listed on the machine print. I will keep it under observation to detect the error. On the other hand Chequing account deposit at ATM was missing on the mini statement printed by the machine although it was listed on the screen dump of transactions. So if this feature/ability of ATM machines was not reliable than why was it made available to consumers.
December 09 of 2024: since some testings were scheduled for this day in the building such as Bell testing etc. by a company perhaps Troy, I was in and out of the building almost all day, several times. It was a snowy day in Ottawa, a continuation of previous day snow fall, which impacted the transit schedules due to slippery conditions and traffic jams on some roads.
December 09 of 2024: this was found several times, upon checking the receipts at home, that in grocery shopping if there were more than one item with reduced price red sticker (50% off or 30% off), cashiers apply price reduction to only one item and other items were charged at regular full price. Although the price reduction red label is put on fresh produce, meat etc when the items were close to expiry or expired or half of the items (some times) were found rotten and unusable, so why do they put the reduced price red sticker, perhaps just to mislead the customers into buying those packets thinking less cost. Most of the times in grocery stores price reduction is due to a reason such as expiry, or half rotten in the packaging, very rarely price reduction in stores may be due to marketing/promotion etc.
December 09 of 2024: I was talking to magicjack customer service around 13h30 regarding the receipt and invoice in Canadian dollars. I was told mangers were busy, they will call me back, request was escalated by Jane.
December 09 of 2024: as soon as I arrived around the building entrance door a woman came out of the buffer zone and left the door open, which remained open for a period of time long enough for me to enter, but I tapped my key on the reader before entering. Purpose of my visit to the mall was to find out about the technology they were using for home phone and home internet. Service providers such as Virgin Mobile, freedom mobile, fido etc. displaying signs for such services. I wonder how would they provide such services if they don’t have their own infrastructure cables etc in place, except Bell™ and Rogers™. Selling Mobile phones and related services over Cell tower technology alone does not qualify them for home services. When I try to find out details, they avoid straight honest answers about how they will provide home services, as if they were trying to keep the knowledge secret from me by not sharing it, because of KIP (i.e. Knowledge Is Power).
December 10 of 2024: dropped off the VTech phone at a UPS store in downtown to send it back to the company in exchange for a upgraded and newer model. UPS store’s staff was less than friendly and non-cooperative, they do not accept a shipment without a printed label, very strange, people can write or fill forms by hand to ship out the packages in the store. I have been using similar services as a paying client since 1998 when UPS store was MBE before rebranding. I used to have letter boxes with MBE at various locations in Ottawa. I used to have letter boxes with Canada Post as well at Quickie Heron gate Mall since 1996. First time I started using a letter box was in 1970s when I lived in Karachi, where I installed my own letter box at the entrance of the house as a DIY project, also at KFUPM (Dhahran) I used to receive my mail in a letter box.
December 10 of 2024: my own Internet usage for the period Nov 11 to Dec 10 of 2024.
In my opinion Bell Canada as a company under current management is using the name of Bell due to its commercial recognition and respect, other than that the Technology invented by Alexander Graham Bell has been phased out because Bell Canada as a company is not providing telephone service on twisted pair copper wires, rather as a company Bell is using internet for telephony service which is very different than the technology invented by Alexander Graham Bell. In other word Bell™ is being used as a brand only but not to refer to the original technology and the inventor.
December 10 of 2024: it was observed that Google maps and location services were slightly off from the previous coordinates of my physical location. My google Chrome browser used to show my location before as K1G3P2 but for the past few weeks it was Showing K1G 1A2. Physically I am at the same location in the same building, unless it was some kind of geological shift or something to do with the satellites positioning or programming.
December 11 of 2024: contacted vtech by web portal, submitted UPS information.
December 11 of 2024: Drilling sounds were heard in the building started around 09h00.
December 11 of 2024: browser location postal code K1G3V4 around 09h45at my ID address in Ottawa Ontario Canada K1G3P2
December 11 of 2024: A new property manager notification was found placed on the door handle of my apartment around 16h00 when I came back to my apartment after visiting a Bell Store at carlingwood mall, that’s where I used to work for Sears in 2008 by my full name {(male) KhalidMahmood}. Later in Sear space was taken over by the Canadian Tire store and the big store located at carling nearby was closed.
I wonder why they (OCH) don’t deliver such information, pamphlets messages through the letter boxes, or push under the door in the apartment, why leave on the door handle.
December 11 of 2024: Postal code discrepancy in the browser was seen corrected around 21h15, back to normal K1G3P2.
December 12 of 2024: today refund from Ooma VoIP phone company was seen back on my card, it took about 13 days to get the money back from them.
December 12 of 2024: a calendar from OCH delivered to me at my apartment door around 11h00 while I was in my apartment 307.
December 12 of 2024: magic jack provided a wrong tracking number according to UPS.
I was given another tracking number by Jane when I called to following up on this issue, a number starting with letters AS and ending in letters US was issued to me, and a promise of delivery on December 13. For delivery purpose magicjack staff and delivery should use my mobile number 613-413-9812 keyed in on their website during purchase and ordering process, not the magicjack number because equipment was not installed and service was not activated yet.
I got another response from magicjack ref#: 1M8fA6s9Kf00v6aCAA in the evening around 18h00 after my quick trip to Independent grocery store walking, used a taxi to come back to my apartment due to snowy conditions.
While I was talking to the magicjack staff, Jane was asking for house number, I have already provided apartment 307 when I placed the order on the internet, My apartment 307 is also my house number, conversation was in the context of address, unless she was referring to the landline phone number as home number, I have a landline phone number from Bell since 1993.
December 13 of 2024: Equifax online services for free annual report was using account holders bank login on payment screen. Free annual report request should not go through payment screen. Second even if it was setting up consumers web account for monthly subscription, it should not use bank’s login screen for payment, it should be able to use independent methods of payment (assuming that consumer wanted to subscribe to their service, otherwise not, for a free annual report it should be completed without entering payment information. In my opinion submitting a scanned copy of IDs through website is unsafe, easy for no effort ID theft, etc. more safe and robust methods should be adopted for it. If Equifax has no offices open for public to show ID in person, than any accounting or tax filing firm should be given the authority to verify the consumers identity instead of submitting the ID electronically. Alternatively, they should setup counters at Service Canada or service Ontario or city hall in each municipality
December 13 of 2024: Knocks were heard around 10h35, when I opened the door a man was seen leaving from the apartment 308.
December 13 of 2024: received a call from CAA regarding renewal of my every day membership.
December 14 of 2024: google chrome browser was reporting wrong location.
December 14 of 2024: two men were seen in the lobby around 18h00 when went out of my apartment for a short walk.
December 14 of 2024: I was at my ID address K1G3P2, browser was sharing inaccurate location, can not be trusted.
December 15 of 2024: I was told by staples staff (GREENBORO south keys area) that paid print jobs is not a priority for them, and should be done by the customers, they could not provide estimate for the time how long it would as well. Perhaps it was her first day at work and did not know how to handle line ups, self serve Machine was out of paper, did not print all the pages, did not print a receipt, was it human intervention. No attended was available around the machine to look after paper supply needs or other issues. To avoid such issues I don’t use their equipment rather prefer to pay them for their service, which was refused today, This was clear racism, hate, and discrimination to tell a long time and paying customer that it was not their priority, and to refuse to provide service for which I pay, I never ask them for free service. Before Staples brand came to Canada I was a customer of Office max and Office Depot in Ottawa.
December 15 of 2024: Canada Post was still on strike so it was of no use to mail the correction form to equifax Canada. I was told strike will end by the end of next week. For legal matters they should take this in consideration. I have submitted corrections several times to equifax, but some how those corrections were not retained. Such as Ontario works was not my employer in the past, never was, Ontario works was social assistance, source of money to support myself, but a credit card application interpreted ow Ontario works as employer, perhaps some one else in position of power or perceived position of power was using my credit history and blocking my corrections and credit history and misguiding others about me. After filing bankruptcy people were allowed to obtain credit card to rebuild credit history, that is how this Ontario Works was incorrectly reported on my credit history records as an employer, it was not employment it was just a source of money. A reminder that my credit report can not be used by others because it relates to me by my driver’s license and social insurance and other indicators, also three credit bureaus in US have a record of my credit records as well because I paid my car Pontiac GrandAm twice once in USA and second time in Canada, which was reported on my credit records in both countries.
December 16 of 2024: I just paid a Rogers™ wireless phone bill at TD bank branch, and also learned that since the banks do not use cents coins, they always round the change up to the next available coin. My changed of $ 22.12 (was round to nearest coin would have been 22.10) was rounded up to $22.15 because they do not have two cents coins. I asked the teller to fix the receipt and the change returned, I was told they always round up to next coin I stead of round down. whereas in retail shops they round up or round down to get to the nearest coin for change due back to customer for cash transactions.
December 16 of 2024: ate my after noon meal at bridgehead minto place after making a bill payment to Rogers™ wireless.
December 16 of 2024: This afternoon when I came back to my apartment from downtown around 14h00, found the Temu delivery package at my door, which was not sealed properly rather it was closed by masking tape. A Bag was folded badly in the package metallic wire frame got bent/deshaped, trying to bring it back to the normal shape by putting it under the weight of cushions. Etc.
December 17 of 2024: today I visited Liberty tax around 13h30 on Montreal Rd to see my accountant to file bankruptcy for me. Liberty tax does not file bankruptcy, so I am considering to change my tax accountant from the next year. It was kind of splashing day, lot of puddle of water due to rain a day before.
December 17 of 2024: it was seen several times during the past one month that as soon I get off the bus 46 across from the building a woman comes out of the front glass door of the building and rushes towards the bus, as if was some kind of coordination with the bus arrival, but since this building has about 190 (almost 200) apartments, it can not be confused as if the woman was coming out of the same house where man will go after arrival by the bus, a false connection with me can not be made, (i.e. theory of one goes out when the other comes in and see each other only at the door. My apartment is single occupancy single rent, not shared with any one).
December 17 of 2024: OC transpo riders should be reminded that when people get off the vehicle (bus or LRT) should not be blocked by the people at the platform wanting to get in, rather they should wait on the side of the door of the bus, not block each other face to face, eye to eye in rush and bad weather situations, it causes dead lock situation. A good example to learn from would be rush hours at train stations in Tokyo Japan, how people handle on and off a train without blocking each other (did not use public buses in 80s in Tokyo, so do not know about that, but I was impressed by the orderly and dispute free rush hours at train stations).
December 18 of 2024: found the box from VTech at my door around 13h00, which was a upgraded replacement of the phone returned to them by UPS. CS model bought from Walmart reseller billings bridge replaced by DS model from VTech directly not through a reseller. Thanks to VTech for upgrading my tabletop/Desktop phone which can also be mounted on the wall. Amazing technology.
December 21 of 2024: I heard a knock on my door around 09h25, before opening the door I asked who was knocking, it was a well dressed senior woman who showed me a yellow envelope and asked if it belong to me, it was showing my name and apartment address on it, but there was no sender information, no return address on it. So I gave it back to her to put it where it was found, She mentioned that perhaps there might be a letter inside. I asked her if I could open it to see the contents, in her presence, a SIM card from fido was found in there, but I am not a fido customer and just a day before I spoke to Rogers to cancel all the pending orders (including fido orders). When I handed it back to her after taking a look at the contents inside, she I asked me to seal it with a tape etc. So I used a piece of masking tape, gave it back to her and thanked her for bringing it to me. Looked like my mother.
