Vonage Doesn’t Block Phone Numbers

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

There is this telemarketer that keeps calling me (1-888-447-4169) over and over again. I am on the do not call list for both my phones since 2003 and I have called this number 3 times to have my number removed from the list. All three times I was assured that “yes” we will [...]

WaMu Unavailable

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

I’ve tried a couple of times today to pay my bills on line at wamu.com, but every time I try, I am getting an error and I can’t. It is beyond frustrating. I can understand if the site is down outside of business hours (or peak hours), but I would imagine (and I [...]

Sidebar Help is Not Helping Me

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

This afternoon I’m on xbox.com trying to find a way to get more points onto my Xbox Live account. I can find a bunch of information on how to do it from the Xbox Dashboard on my 360, but I can’t find a way to do it on line. At least, I can’t find a [...]

When it could be something like:
http://mobile.newsgator.com/258127/xxxxxx
It would at least be a little shorter to type in on my SP5 that way.

All I Want Is My Paperwork

Monday, March 28th, 2005

Well, I have finally submitted my federal taxes as well as my state taxes for Minnesota. It was really painless to use e-file. This is the second year that I have done my taxes this way. E-file is one use of technology that I think really makes something easier. But, now that both of my [...]

Learn a Little, Would Ya?

Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

As many of you know I have a pretty cush job on campus. I have had this job for about a year now and have really enjoyed it. But, it has only been until recently that some aspects of it have been getting on my nerves. No, it’s not the patrons as you may [...]

Trillian, You’re A Bully

Thursday, December 9th, 2004

Trillian. Many of us use it, or have used it in the past. It is that IM client by Cerulean Studios that looks sexy and works pretty well too. I say pretty well because I have one big gripe with it. It always thinks that it is right and that bothers me.
