So far i've managed to run a decent report that includes:

Line Item:
   Start Date; End Date;
   Lifetime impressions
   Goal Quantity

Advertiser:
    Labels

The only Report Metric I use is Delivery indicator.

 I run this now automatically every morning.
 I open in Excel and Filter the Delivery indicator to 'less than 100%' which shows me the items in danger of not delivering it's target.

 Then i sort by end date so the most recent endings are first. If only i could automate the filtering and ordering in DFP before it ships that'd be great.

Halloween Fun

Got up to no good today.  Dressed up for Halloween at the office and decide to take it up a notch.  Besides visiting fellow like minded co-workers i also went out to some of my favorite stomping grounds.

Dress up day at work #halloween

Old Age Revelation

Sigh. I'm old enough now that things I bought 'new' 20 years ago are now considered 'vintage'. This #celestion 4 ohm apparently is now rare as it's not produced anymore.... #guitargear

Leafs Involved in an another Reclamation Project?

Twitterverse reporting Devin Setoguchi may be putting on a Leafs jersey.


Here's the stats from www.generalfanager.com on Devin Setoguchi. Former Sharks, Wild, Jets and Flames player.

I always like reclamation projects and if this deal works for David that'd be a nice story for the Leafs. They tried this with Paul Ranger and it didn't work out so well.   He played 1 season with the big club for 53 games.  He was a Tampa Bay Lightning before he disappeared from the hockey world.

Kenora is Trying Temporary Outdoor Patios

From CBC Megan Thomas

Guess I'm not the only one who thinks this a good way to test pilot seasonal patios.  Kenora is giving it a go by the looks of it.  As you may recall i did a rant about this a few years ago for Thunder Bay when it was proposed to permanently expand the sidewalk area on Red River Road.

CBC's article mentions the patio's importance to tourism industry.

Of interest also is the fees the city would charge the restaurants based on the size and seating capacity.



The article from cbc is here: Kenora-looks-to-expand-outdoor-patio-spaces-for-restaurants-1.3137693

My original rant for Thunder Bay to do this is here:  seasonal-patios

 Comment below if you have any thoughts on this - good or bad.   Summer here is half spent but this is still something to consider next year.

High Fidelity

FINALLY! Got around to watching this flick.  It's been in my 'to see' list for quite some time.  I could definitely relate to the characters.  Music lovers are a mopey condescending bunch aren't we.

What I found really strange was I couldn't pin point the time period in which this took place.  Sure there were some late 90's give-a-ways like baggy jackets and cordless phones, but this could have been released this year and not missed a beat.

There were so many things that 15 years later are either still in vogue or have come back in vogue.  If there was a re-edit of this film all they'd have to do is CGI in a couple of IPhones.

I look forward to watching this in say another 10 or 15 years and see if it still holds up.  I'm pretty sure it will.
