So many things to say, so little time....

* The server this site is on was hacked. Bad. It was down for a day and a half, everyone on the server lost at least that much email, and one of my sites still isn't working. Oh, wait, it doesn't matter - that client just took their business elsewhere.

* I just got a notice from my ISP that I'm violating the TOS (terms of service) by participating in file sharing. The reason they said something? A "copyright owner" has a record indicating that my IP was sharing a file that had the name of one of their shows in it. I really don't want to go into any more detail, but don't they have better things to do with their time?

* It's snowing again. I don't mind that so much, but it usually means that work is going to send me somewhere that's not close to home. True to form, I'm headed out to Watertown tomorrow. For those who don't know - that would be most of you readers - it's up by Waterbury, CT, or about 50 minutes from home on a good day. In snowy weather, that's more like 90 minutes. The last time I went, was there two days, and one of them was during the last snowfall. During the trip up during the snow, someone was kind enough to change lanes into my lane, but without warning and almost into me. They didn't think it was a problem, and were perplexed by my honking at them. Idiots.

* I tried to buy a camera for a client last Thursday, right about the same time that the server was crapping out. They sent me an email asking me to call them to "confirm the order", and also allegedly called my cell phone for the same reason. I didn't get any email - the server was hosed - and I know for a fact that they didn't call me. Whatever - I just want the camera. So I tried to call on Friday, but didn't call before they closed. Then they were closed Saturday - but, oddly, open on Sunday. I called again, and was told that there was an "issue" with my order - they would gladly transfer my call to someone to help with that. Problem was, I didn't have the 45 minutes they were hoping I'd stay on hold to finalize the order. Anyway, I finally got the order resolved on Monday - but only after finding out about the alleged phone calls, and then dealing with the guy trying to upsell me stuff - accessories, extended warranties, you name it, he was trying to sell it to me. When I finally got off the phone, I felt dirty.
