Keep in mind that these updates get aggregated to at least Planet Gentoo Universe.
Might be just me, but daily updates of tweets/delicious/etc was always a pet peeve for me. I typically prefer having either a widget or a link for them instead.
They only go to universe, because that's a raw feed of my blog. They are a part of my blog, on purpose, and shall remain so to track them for non-twitter folk.
This is completely unrelated to your post, but since I am moving to BC I had a couple questions. Do you rent or own your home? If you're renting or have rented in the past, how is the rental market in BC? What would be the average price of a bachelor and 1 bedroom? Do you find that there is more demand than supply for apartments? I've been looking at the average price for a 1 bedroom looks like $900 and it also doesn't look like there are many places for rent. My biggest concern however is that the vast majority of rentals restrict pets and I have a cat that is my furry child. I looked into BC's residential tenancies statute and landlords are allowed the restrict pets completely and restrict number and size of pets, as well as charge a pet damage deposit. This is vastly different from Ontario's statute which holds that any rental agreement with a clause restricting pets is a void clause and all tenants are entitled to pet ownership regardless of signing agreement to the contrary. Do you know of any pet friendly buildings/apartments? I am looking to move into a place in the fall, staying with my parents over the summer to save money and pay off student loans and credit debt.
Sorry about the latency in this, but I was in California at the conference.
I rent, 1.5 bedroom/1 bathroom basement suite. I have my own (non-shared) washer+dryer. Base rent is $800, my share of utilities is ~$90 (gas/electric). Upstairs of the house is also rented out (separate entrances, no connection between up/down), the landlord is cool guy that lives in West Van. My upstairs housemates have two outdoor cats, "Stella" and "Lucia".
My neighbour across the street has a similar basement suite to mine, also goes for around $800. She's cat friendly - has a large Ginger outdoor cat "Lover", and also ends up a large but friendly dogsitting for a friend quite often.
Pricing and availability vary a lot depending on the area. Judging by the noticeboard at the closest little supermarket (Buy Low Foods), I'd say for good places, there's slightly more supply than demand at the moment. The market with roommates however is very busy, seems to lots of demands for roommates to help cut costs.
Well I definitely don't want a roommate. I lived with girls for almost 3 years and hated it. I'm looking to live on my own, especially since I live a green-ish lifestyle. Bachelors in Toronto start at $650 and the min. for a 1 bedroom here is $800, so it sounds similar. Now that I think I have a real job, have to call to confirm tomorrow, I have more money to work with for housing. I'll be working in downtown Vancouver, but I doubt I'll find something reasonable around work.
