Browsers still need to be updated.

Apparently the world hasn’t updated their browsers enough yet. If you’re using IE 6.0, I’m talking to you. Visit here: and get the updated links. If you can’t be bothered to update that browser, I can’t be bothered to program websites for you.

It’s all going down.

The big day is here. I just want to post a quick message to everyone who will be participating in some fashion today. It means the world, both to Jaimie and I that you were all able to be here for us this week. You’ve made this day, and this entire week by far the most enjoyable time in my life.

To Jaimie: I love you more than anything. You are the most beautiful, and amazing person I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. Thank you so much for all the support and love you have shown me over the years. I can’t even begin to illustrate on this blog or in words how much you mean to me.

Thank You

Rogers Wireless.

Dear Rogers Wireless…

I’m sick and tired of calling your customer service reps. Every month there is a new issue and every month someone has to rectify something. I just got off the phone with a Customer Relations representative, and she told me that I’ve been fairly reimburst for every one of my issues. She fails to see that my anger is not about the individual issues. It’s about me having to repeatedly call in with new issues every single month. It has been 8 months of calling Rogers once a month to complain about something wrong with my bill.

Unreal, this thing is rugged as hell.

A couple month back I wrote about how my shuffle was finally dead. Today, it’s alive and well. Simply amazing! I was doing a big cleanup in my room, attempting to get rid of various junk before I have to start packing for my move to Ottawa July 1st. I uncovered a huge box filled with tech stuff that I can’t bring myself to throw away. I always seem to think that it might come in handy at some point down the road but it rarely does. In this box sat my ipod shuffle. I probably through it in the box after my last post. Being faced with a difficult decision, do I throw it away or mount it on my wall as the most rugged piece of hardware I’ve ever owned, I decided to plug it in one more time… for old times sake. The LED lit up and started flashing. So far so good. Then I decided to unplug it pop in my headphones and push play. Out of the headphones comes…

” You got them bruises placed upon your legs
You got them scratchmarks [around there on the edge]
I know your story
It won’t be up straight
Cuz when I’m not there
I know you can’t wait

This ain’t the first time
I caught you out again
You spend your time
With something dirty now
In a cubicle?

No fuckin lie! Most of you apple geeks probably know this but that was one of the first songs in the Ipod commercials. What are the odds. I swear, no lies! I wish someone had snapped a picture of my face at that exact moment. I would have looked like a boy on christmas morning looking at the pile gifts for the first time.

I’m so excited, I have my ipod back. I can finally save the money I was going to put towards a new one, and use it on an iphone when it drops instead. I’m estatic…

I can’t believe this just happened…

So, Digg.com is apparently a social news/bookmarking site.  They let their users determine what the news is.  The more diggs a story gets the more the likeihood is that the story will be promoted to their front page.   The system was built on the concept that society will determine what is important. Up until today they could claim that it’s a user driven site.  Today, all that changed.  News spread like wild fire yesterday that the encryption key for hd-dvd’s had been cracked or leaked. The key would allow users to make legitimate backups of their films, and even possibly program software to play the video’s on any device that had playback capabilities… well… the MPAA shit their pants and started threatening anyone who posted the key (a series of numbers and letters, in a hex notation) with legal action.  Digg has been working overtime deleteing any story that has those numbers in it.  It’s starting to look like less of a social media site and a bit more like Fox News.  Anyway, i’m not gonna post the hex information, but i do have a string similar to the hash for you… do what you will with it. (It may or may not be a form of the leaked key, and it may or may not be the key run through a different algorithm (a hem… Md5… a hem)… or it could be just a bunch of randomly generated numbers/letters)
