I'm a game programmer, doing pretty much everything (from Wii, Kinect to iPad). On the side, just for fun, I write file systems (for the nifty BeOS/Haiku operating system) and experiment with metadata.

USB Stick Found

Subject: CPCA Lost and Found
Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 18:17:40 -0500
From: Kelly Wiles <thewiles@rogers.com>

Hello,

I found a usb stick on the side walk of the Field House this morning. Is there a way to post ‘the find”?

The owner can contact me.

Or if there is another way we deal with lost items please let me know.

Just writing an e-mail to us works. Though if you had a picture, that would help people recognize it. On the other hand, identifying the true owner could rely on some secret about the lost item (such as what colour it is), which a photo may give away.

In other news, there’s a service available for redesigning public spaces with an eye towards crime prevention. From https://onwec.com/2017/02/21/cpted-crime-prevention-through-environmental-design/

Hi All

Please forward to your BIA’s, Community Associations
My name is Constable Matt Hunt and I am the new CPTED coordinator for the Ottawa Police.  CPTED is Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.  Proper design and effective use of space improves the quality of life for the community and can assist with crime prevention.  We offer a free service where we conduct an audit of your space (retail, condo, library, school, etc) and suggest ways it could be made safer.  We will provide you with a copy of the audit and a follow-up call in six months to see how things are going.  For more information of to book an audit please contact me directly at 613-236-1222 ex. 2319 or huntm2@ottawapolice.ca.
