Intolerance Lost

November 18th, 2007 bdk No comments

We had went out for dinner one night, and I had something with cheese in it, or some fries with ranch dipping sauce. I took my normal 3 lactaid pills to help stave off most of the discomfort dairy has given me over the past 10 years or so, drank a pitcher of Guinness (read some where that it helped digest dairy) and felt no ill affects an hour or two later. Lactaid has never worked that well. It helped prevent some of the more unpleasant problems but always fell short of stopping all symptoms.

Mercedes-Benz == Park Anywhere

Oh yes… People just love to park where ever they can find a spot:

For those squinting to check out the license plate, here it is:

BMW License Plate DJP 150

Note: Don’t get me wrong, I’m more jaded about the asshat drivers that seem to think that a yellow traffic signal means hurry up and get through before it turns red and then you’ll have to wait a whole ‘nother 2 mins for a green light then I am with people ignoring well labeled parking restrictions. I was just putting my expensive, low-quality camera that doubles as a cell phone to some use.

To the loser(s) that dumped a computer w/o a hdd or ram in the back of the local Salvation Army. Did you happen to miss the big sign that read “NO COMPUTERS OR COMPUTER PARTS”? That is ok, they’ve got video of you dumpting it.

BTW, thanks from me because after adding some ram & hdd I’ve got another server. Losers!

866-660-6940

January 18th, 2006 bdk 2 comments

Was woken up by a dead air call this morning from (866) 660.6940. Rang twice, answered, dead air. Nothing.

After not being able to get back to sleep I google the number and it appears as if I’m not the first person to be anoyed by this number. Most hits report that the number belongs to Experian, one of the big 3 credit reporting agencies. For most people Experian are calling them to verify their business info, CEO, address, etc. Experian seems to be getting a majority of the numbers they call from the Whois database. We don’t have our private residence number listed on any business material and on several DO NOT CALL lists. The Verisign TOS on their Whois database is as follows:

TERMS OF USE: You are not authorized to access or query our Whois

By submitting a Whois query, you agree to abide by the following terms of use: You agree that you may use this Data only for lawful purposes and that under no circumstances will you use this Data to: (1) allow, enable, or otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited, commercial advertising or solicitations via e-mail, telephone, or facsimile; or (2) enable high volume, automated, electronic processes
< ..SNIP..>
reserves the right to modify these terms at any time.

I think I’ll call them back from another number and just put the phone down.
