College Furniture.

Posted on August 20th, 2008 in Uncategorized by exocorsair

Is rather annoying. I can’t bring any furniture at all, aside from maybe a small chair; others won’t fit in the dorm room (and run the risk of being stolen).

Definitely during my senior year, or after I graduate and find my own place, I’ll get some decent furniture, like Bernhardt Furniture. But then again, that might be too much to ask for a poor college/recently graduated student, eh?

[money] Pay-to-Click (PTC) Update 10.08.2008

Posted on August 10th, 2008 in money by exocorsair

So I requested a cash-out from bux.to a little over a month ago, I think.

I’m getting a little ticked at how long pay-out is taking, especially since it’s $50 and I put in $35 to the site.

So today I tried out neobux again. I got this message:

YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED

Please consult point 8.4 in our terms of service.
If you need us to re-open your account send us a support ticket.

I’m like, “Okay, lame.” I check 8.4 in their ToS which reads something like, inactive for >30 days yields suspension. I click “Support” and I get something about the page being down for maintenance. Lame, right?

Well, I click their “Live Support”, and I received possibly the best customer service I have ever received. Fast response to the ticket, fast service (reactivating account), rather polite.

So I’m trying neobux again, and already it’s a good start.

So, go Neobux! Hopefully it’ll work out.

[politics] McCain vs. Obama - Intermission 1

Posted on August 7th, 2008 in Uncategorized by exocorsair

Until Senators Obama and McCain decide to stick to an energy policy, this project is temporarily on-hold.

If they continue to flip-flop, then I’ll compare their policies at the end of September based on what’s given. Of course, in this case, that information is to be taken with a grain of salt.

[politics] Policies - McCain vs. Obama Intro

Posted on August 4th, 2008 in Uncategorized by exocorsair

So this is something I wanted to do for a while. I’m going to take the information I gather from their speeches and their websites and compare one policy to another. I’m going to do it in this order:

Energy
Economy
Education

National Security/Defense + Iraq
Health Care

The rest later.
