My Parking Ticket.
Lastnight I was parked where I shouldn’t have stayed parked, and I knew full well that I really should go out into the bitter cold and move it to a “legal” location, but sometimes the motivation just isn’t there. The general concensus was that cars are rarely ticketed for violating the street sweeping hours, and I really wasn’t all that concerned with it.
I did, of course, walk out to discover a bright red violation affixed to the windshield of my car, and basically said, well… it was worth it. Conveniently there is a notation on the ticket that explains how to pay it online, versus the whole mailing a cheque or visiting the office of the parking department. It makes sense for a city to make it easy to get their parking fees… and I’m happy to pay a parking ticket, oddly enough, lol.
So, getting that taken care of was (and still is) a high priority on my list for today, I popped over to the website using Firefox in Linux and was met with a ‘platform not supported’ message, along with a notation to use either Netscape, IE, Mozilla, or Opera. I found that a little strange, but opened up Mozilla and then found I received the same message. Hmmmm… I guess they don’t like Linux.
