Two things in regards to this post

1. You are using our logo which is copyright infringement. Remove the logo or legal action will be taken.
Poor nomenclature: It is not copyright infringement, it’s intellectual property theft.  I have since replaced the anti monsterhosting logo with a superior one.

2. You have doctored these responses and edited them from the originals.
Redundant: It is assumed that doctoring something refers to editing it from the original.  Nothing was doctored, I will voluntarily forward the emails to anyone who asks.  Besides, they’re JPGs you can verify their integrity yourself.

You are obviousy a very shallow person who is willing to do anything to be right.
Projection: The point I am making is that you do not respect your customers.  This has been proven true by you:

a)calling me a liar
b)threatening to sue me
c)calling me shallow

I don’t need to prove myself right Gary, your doing a fine job of that for me.

vTech USB7100 Phone

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I bought a Skype phone from vtech some time ago and absolutely love it.  Now, it doesn’t work with Vista.  This wouldn’t be so bad, since a lot of companies are having a difficult time keeping up to microsoft and thier new OS.

The problem arose when I logged into their support site to look for new drivers.  vtech has officially taken the position that they are abandoning any attempts to make their USB phones Vista compatible.  Since this is my primary phone, it’s actually holding me back from upgrading my machine to Vista.

SO I sent them a letter too.  We’ll see what happens.

It just won’t quit.

Have you ever gotten into an argument with someone who just won’t quit?  (besides me…I’m never wrong)  Specifically, I find it incredible that people can defend their points with the same paper thin justification and still feel like they’re coming out ahead.  A perfect example of this is when children simply say, “No it isn’t!” to end an argument, feeling as though this blanket statements covers all logical opposition to their claim.

Gary threatened to sue me, so I put up a new anti monsterhosting logo.  I like this one better.

I don’t want to insult people, but since I usually end up doing that in some way shape or form, I’m posting this anyway.  My last post, about bluefur has been met with criticism and illogical banter from an employee there.

I’ve been really entertained by this entire thing.  Almost as much as Logitech, who actually turned out to be good chaps.  Mainly because they, unlike bluefur, abandoned all hope of defending their pride and sought to placate their customers rather than implicate them.  Logitech took me 8 months of bantering but at least I got a 300 dollar remote out of the deal.  All I seem to be getting from bluefur is upset, illogical and repetitive arguments which leave me wishing I had my moderation queue activated.

I haven’t even begun.  Give me a moment and I will post my interaction with bluefur here so you can all decide for yourselves.

What are we fighting for?

When I read this letter, a little bit of vomit came into my mouth…

Vomit

Dear Dr. Taylor:

Although we, the undersigned, are not members of the National Association of Evangelicals, our organizations interface with it regularly and consider it to be an important Christian institution in today’s culture. From that perspective, we are writing the Board of Directors to call attention to what we perceive as a threat to the unity and integrity of the Association. The issue that is dividing and demoralizing the NAE and its leaders is related to global warming, resulting from a relentless campaign orchestrated by a single individual in the Washington office, Richard Cizik, vice president of government relations. While many of us consider Richard to be a friend, he regularly speaks without authorization for the entire organization and puts forward his own political opinions as scientific fact.

Bluefur Canada Web Hosting is Terrible

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Bluefur’s customer service is awful.  I’m not certain how many of you actually rent webspace for internet sites, but do yourself a favour and avoid these people like the plague.

The finer details are that I cancelled my account there and they kept charging me money…for three months.  After I contacted them and told them they were stealing from me they accused me of being “threatning” and “unprofessional,”  which was probably true…but who cares!  I had to contact my bank and the Better Business Bureau to force them to reverse the charges and they did…three months later.

The conclusion:  Bluefur Canada also known as monster hosting is garbage and I would never deal with them.  Right now I’m with 1and1 and they seem to be fine.

Today was the day.  I handed in my last paper and finished my third semester at university!  Now I have nothing to do for a few weeks while I wait for camp.

I call it: “2007 So Far.”

It is of course my simple way of getting out of updating the website for the last while and leaving y’all with blogposts and a couple of videos.  Needless to say…I do hope everyone enjoys it.  If you didn’t make it into the album, you should come out more often and have yourself digitized by yours truly.

Wish me luck on my French Exam tomorrow.  Oh and Dreamweaver CS3 is out…so be expecting some brand new styles and content on “Le Site Web.”

For now…

The MacDonald Avenue Poop Patrol

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

PETPICK

Virginia and I keep running into people in our building who make a point of harrassing us for owning a dog.  They call us “lawn wrecker” and “irresponsible” because for some reason they think we’re single handedly responsible for every piece of excrement on the front lawn of our building.  At one time I was adamant about cleaning up all the things my dog left behind, I would even kick the yellow snow.  But now, it seems to be included in my rent.

When I was a child as punishment my sisters and I would have to go on poop patrol as a punishment.  It meant walking around the yard picking up every single piece of dropping that my 70 pound german shepard left after his morning meal.  Now that I’m grwon up, there’s a collective of people who do it voluntarily!  Every time I walk outside there’s someone wandering around with a bag cleaning up dog mess and further reinforcing my desire not to have to do it myself.

Honestly, I would have a HUGE problem leaving poop on the lawn if it stayed there and got stepped in, but people clean it up for me!  This is fantastic.  So, I would like to give a big shout out to the “Poop Patrol” of MacDonald avenue and thank them for cleaning up for me so that I don’t have to and remind them that what they are doing is hegemony.  Self proclaimed victims make the world go ‘round.

Some pictures don’t need captions. Hopefully, if Marc Brugge is reading this he will add it to his dutch document about Stubbes abroad. Especially those who were brave enough to live in Cochrane where 40 below zero comes around, global warming or not.
