So Far So Good

Well it turns out that I just freaked out when my setup screen showed up when I did a system repair on my computer. Stupid me... Went through with my setup and everything is all good and dandy here.

A few days ago was my birthday and Ginger got me a Nintendo DS Lite. Its a pretty cool piece of hardware. She also got me a game (Mario & Luigi Partners in time). Its a pretty interesting and funny game. The Mario brothers go back in time and team up with the baby Mario and Luigi to help save the Princess Peach. Its a pretty straight forward game but so far its been entertaining.
What I want to do is try and turn my new NDS into some sort of organizer. What would be cool, and I saw some rumors a while ago, is to turn this thing into a Palm organizer. I read from some articles a while back that Nintendo was gonna liscense the Palm OS to put onto the DS. Now that would be something. That would actually be an awesome item, but so far I cant really find much on an organizer for the NDS.

My Super Short Stupid Moment

I cant believe I did that. I cant believe I did that. I cant believe I did that. Stupid me, not thinking before acting. How could I have overwrite my whole computer without making a backup first. AHHHHH!!! Geez, now I guess I'm screwed.

Went to CompUSA yesterday (On my Birthday) and got myself "Search and Recover 3". I haven't used it yet but I gonna try it out to get my information back. Lets see what did I lose. Pictures, Movies, Documents, MY RESUME, and some program files stored away. Darn... Well, I guess I can look at the bright side, now I have an excuse to get myself a new laptop... YAY!

iBlogs: AOL's Manual to keep Customers from Leaving

Link:Consumerist's Blog on AOL Manual
There are some things in this blog that just cracks me up. I find it somewhat amusing and a tad bit annoying when customer service representatives don't help out the customers. I mean if you call to cancel, STOP HASSLEING THE CUSTOMER AND CANCEL THE STUPID THING ALREADY. This manual that AOL has is probably the worst thing that a customer service representative can have for a customer.

Email Addresses

Has it ever occured to you that you got a gazzillion billion quantatrillion email addresses and you don't know what to do with them all. Thats exactly how I feel. Everytime I check my email, I have to go to all my different webmails to see if I have anything from anyone. This can be a big pain in the butt when you check email every few hours.

I thought I had a solution. I forwarded all my emails from my million catrillion different email addresses to my yahoo email. And from my yahoo email, i got it to send me a text message whenever I get a new email. This is a excellent feature since i know when i get emails. The only problem is that i get quite a few spam mail coming in from all my different email addresses so it gets quite irritating getting text messages saying i have spam in my email box.

Another issue that recently occured is when i started working at the electrical engineering department at the University. They have mail stored on the server so i needed some form of POP3 mail. Usually i deal with only webmail, but since working there, i needed to have a way to check my mail on the server. At first yahoo mail has this thing where you can put the POP3 mail account on the yahoo mail, but you would need to click a buttom whenever you want to check for mail. I find this button clicking annoying. Everytime you click the button, "sorry but you do not have any new mail on the server". After looking into things some more, i found a way to forward my mail on the server to any email account, so i just forwarded it to my yahoo mail account. Yahoo mail is nice, the Spam in NOT!!
