In which Time Warner does the one thing the borg never could.
Only after reading a Techdirt article could I come up with a title like that. Of course it may also have something to do with the fact the caffeine isn’t doing what it used to, but we’ll pretend that doesn’t enter the picture. Time Warner is well known for service … Read the rest

Protesting the TSA’s stripsearches by stripping? Okay, that’s new.
The US Transport Security Administration (TSA) loves their naked body scanners. Or being able to feel you up if you don’t feel like letting them scan you. And I love poking at the TSA when one of those tactics rather, um, blows up in their face. But this is kind … Read the rest

In which my girlfriend, which I do have, tries to walk off with my guidedog. Which I don’t have.
People say the most absolutely randomest of things. Usually at the most oddly weird of times. For anyone who actually knows us, May has a guidedog. Had one for years. Long before she’s met me. I’ve never had one. Haven’t figured I wanted/needed one. what I do has worked since, … Read the rest

Australia’s stay smart online program isn’t very smart offline.
I’m not completely sure what the Stay Smart Online program is exactly supposed to do for Australians who sign up for it, but I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to end with those citizens’ personal details ending up on a DVD somewhere between here and the postal ether. I’m also … Read the rest

Give me Guinness souvenirs or give me death!
I’ve mocked some pretty off the wall stuff on this thing over the years. Probably more than my fair share. But this, right here, I think takes the cake. A 26-year-old guinness fan decided it wouldn’t be enough to just wait for the warehouse in St. John’s to open, and … Read the rest

the job market’s flirting with me again.
Occasionally I go through these little once-in-a-while meetup type things. I kind of compare them to a sort of first date type deal, only for employment reasons rather than familial/whatever the hell else is out there. Company catches your eye from across the way, you try not to let them … Read the rest

In which I breathe a sigh of relief and thank christ I don’t have to deal with US immigration.
If ever I have a reason to deal with US immigration in future, can somebody please very politely slap me upside the head with something blunt and heavy? Thanks. They don’t seem to be in possession of a degree of inteligence lately. A 14-year-old girl ran away from home and … Read the rest

Not a good time to put the customer first, Time Warner.
Every so often, I’ll find a reason to slag on some company or another for craptacular customer service. Or amazingly failful equipment that requires I be in direct contact with their craptacular customer service. Time Warner has been stepping up efforts to correct that, and put the customer first, lately. … Read the rest

That’s one way to create an Apple fanboy.
I may not be entirely off base here in figuring I’d be quite loyal, at least in spirit, to the company that unknowingly came up with the perfect way to catch someone I was with cheating. Hell, I might just go out and buy something of theirs just to say … Read the rest

In which WordPress changes their API, busts a couple features. Oopsies.
This site has comments by email. This site also has posts by email, should you be sadistic enough to subscribe to it–hey, a couple of you have, so it’s relevant. Or it did, until approximately 2 hours ago. You see, WordPress released a slightly newish version of their software last … Read the rest
