VPN Hotspot
Anybody know about AncorFree Hotspot VPN for iPhone? http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=2591They provide free, removable adware supported, VPN. With a free thing for iPhone, too. They are listed zdnet and have several reviews in computer magazines. I'm just hesitant to use an adware service - although the iphone plan doesn't have ads I don't think. | | Saturday, February 28th, 2009 | | 8:59 am |
I hope it is true
reposted from another blog --- Apparently this has been going around since last month but I just read it for the first time, sent along by MattG. If it’s not true, it ought to be. Reported to have been posted in Craig’s List Personals in January 2009: To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown (Downtown, Savannah )
I was the white guy with the black Burrberry jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize.
I didn't expect you to crap your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?
I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster.
I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it. Oh well.
I'd like to apologize for not killing you, and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky. If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch.
Peace! -
Alex Snopes.com, the rumor/urban legend researcher site, classifies the story as UNDETERMINED. If it was indeed ever posted on Craig’s List, it has been removed. Also, the story’s origin has been claimed in at least a half dozen cities. There IS a popular pizza place called Vinnie Van Go Go's in Savannah. That’s the extent of my research into the matter. The only claim I make is that it really made ME smile. JPG | | Sunday, December 21st, 2008 | | 4:13 am |
A girl's best friend.
I've been looking at diamonds and rings. No, I'm not getting engaged right now, but I can see it heading that way if we can work out blending families. I just like thinking.... I know, it's sappy. I'm not usually like this. Amazon has some great general info and pricing applet info under their loose diamonds pages. Yes, I know about DeBeers (sp?). Yes, it's a sad story. No, it's not going to stop me from buying a diamond ring when the day comes. General thoughts. The same size diamond can vary greatly depending on it's ratings for color, clarity, cut. I like the ideal of giving a smaller, more perfect diamond. It might not be as eye catching, but the higher quality would mean something to me. I really like the round cut. Truthfully, because it's what my Mom wore. Also, it's symmetrical. I think of a diamond ring as being yellow gold, but am not opposed to white gold or platinum if that's what she liked. Tell me about your engagement ring ( given or received ). And/or what future ring or changes you'd like to make. What is the diamond cut? What do you know about it's other C's ( color, clarity, carat) . Would you rather have a 1) higher quality ( more shiny ) but smaller or 2) less shiny, lower rated, but larger diamond. What metal is the ring? I know, it's kind of a personal subject. I don't want to start a "mine is better than yours thread", just hear what you like. Whatever you are willing to tell me.

There was this Russian in Atlanta ....
I wonder how Dr. Doogie Howser, or others, see the Russian vs. Georgian thing going on now, how they think it will end, and if they think it will repeat with other former Soviet states? | | Thursday, July 10th, 2008 | | 9:43 pm |
Windows XP hotfix breaks Zonelalarm firewall
My internet connection died. After much troubleshooting and blaming the cable modem & router, I discovered Microsoft's DNS patch they pushed out this week breaks ZoneAlarm! Once it is installed you won't be able to connect to the internet with the ZoneAlarm firewall on. If you haven't installed the patch, install ZA version 7.0.483, then install your critical fixes. If you have installed the patch and broken your internet, disable ZA and turn on windows firewall, download /install / run ZA version above. Here's info I found out in the tubes after the fact: http://weblog.infoworld.com/robertxcring ely/archives/2008/07/microsoft_to_zo.htm l Current Mood:  annoyed | | Saturday, July 5th, 2008 | | 4:51 pm |

And soon
Stand by for some moderately exciting news for me. Also, PG/JEN, I sent you some email.I thought I sent it last weekend, but found google had put it in my "drafts". That's it.

Pizza
What's a fair but not extravagant amount to tip the pizza delivery person? Is it still 15-20% or is it so much per pizza or is it less since they aren't "waiting" on you? But then there is the cost of gas. Say a 15-20 dollar order? Current Mood:  confused | | Thursday, April 24th, 2008 | | 12:37 pm |
Yep
Happy Birthday to mme_moonpie and omarius.

Petition

My favorite thing! 8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing! 11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing! Excerpts from a Cat's Diary --------------------------- Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today, I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today, I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. Current Mood: amused | | Sunday, February 10th, 2008 | | 3:26 pm |
Valentines Day
So what are guys' required expected suppose too correct way to show their tender emotions on Valentines day for a girl they've only been dating a week or so? I'm interested in her, but flowers seem over the top. Current Mood: contemplative | | Monday, February 4th, 2008 | | 4:52 pm |
Fever
Should you take advil or other NSAIDs for a mild fever from chest colds. I vaguely remember fever helps the body's immune system. Current Mood:  sick |
