College Furniture.

exocorsair — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:38:42 +0000

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

exocorsair — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:27:35 +0000

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

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

exocorsair — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:27:33 +0000

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.

So I started playing this due to a significant amount of boredom… I’ll add a page when I start not sucking.

Okay, the bashing between Obama and McCain is ridiculous. Fortunately, the Jesse Jackson and Phil Gramm remarks have only lasted a couple days. Hopefully we won’t be seeing too much of that rubbish… it gets old hearing the same things repeatedly repeated.

Then there are the third party candidates like Bob Barr that barely get any media attention. Whether that’s their fault or the media’s… well, each will blame the other.
