Comments From the Ring: Shhhh. The Boxers Are Sleeping

ENTRY 205

Next scheduled bout: November 8 @ George Bell Arena, opponent TBA

Shhhh. Quiet. The Boxers Are Sleeping

Yeah. Its almost like that.

There really was nothing happening with regards to boxing this week. Which is just as well, since I am so busy with other things like...

I'm Still Searching

Well, for some reason the idiots are Capriet Property Management decided that they would prefer to not rent the apartment on Lake Shore, after I wasted so much time with them.

Thank you for that.

I don't understand the big deal. Don't landlords want to rent apartments, or is the whole idea of posting ads and inviting people to viewings just a way to waste time?

I did locate another very nice apartment just north of the Stockyards. It is a great location. Literally, five minutes on the Number 89 bus to the boxing gym.

I fell in love with this apartment the moment I saw it.

Ninth floor, right across from the elevator. Balcony, storage room, marble (probably simulated) counter top, brand new range and fridge, and central heat and cooling, which is unusual in an apartment.

There are also security cameras in the hallways, one right in front of the apartment.

The only thing is, the rent is close to being a four-digit number.

However, this is apparently "market value" for a one bedroom apartment with everything included.

Okay, whatever.

At least, I did not see any unwanted guests.

I will find out if I have been accepted later next week.

Bus Report

Wow. Twice! The Route 191 was on-time twice this past week!

That worries me, It really does. That means it will be a very long time before it is ever on time again!

Metropolis TV Removal of Public Videos From YouTube

Due to continuing problems with YouTube, we have began removing content this week.

It appears that we are having serious issues with copyright fraud, claiming that they own Metropolis TV content. In particular, Stockyards Boxing matches from 2012.

That damn Orchard Music is claiming that we stole music from them.
I find it interesting that on videos that contain no music, one can report a copyright claim for music!

Any music we use is from Kevin Macleod, and he knows we use it, and we have permission to use it.

It is annoying that YouTube, excuse me, ScrewTube is allowing this to happen, and I am not the only one.
There are complaints all over the internet about Orchard Music.

YouTube does not care about the small producers any more.
That is why we are moving to Dailymotion.
We are hoping to have the move completed by the end of January.

The following productions are no longer available for viewing, until they are moved to the new server at Dailymotion:

As all of these Metropolis TV/D-I-T-O Toronto productions have been 'claimed' by Orchard Music, and contain nothing that could be considered "third party".

These productions have been disabled to block Orchard from gaining any revenue from our productions.

After January 2015, these videos will hopefully all have been moved to Dailymotion, and will be deleted from YouTube.
