Brett Reilly's Blog

Well my holiday ( 2 weeks off. ) is nearly over only 2 more days left, I got a lot done in that time, if your a regular reader, the look of the site has changed which will be tweaked over time I ended up finding a ready made one though I still may change it down the track for something more original, all my site have been moved over to the new server as per previous post and I went to Echuca along the degraded Murry river for a few days.

I am also working on Beyonddirectory.com (directory) and conspiractrader.com (classifieds), on Beyond Directory I have changed the structure of the directory to be more in the original Idea I had and with conspiracy trader I have decided to go with something I have not tried yet, classifieds, which I have decided to make it geographical in categories which is going to take some time.

And am thinking about a counseling service for lifehassles.com but am still unsure about it.

If you ever go to Echuca get a massage here.

I am also addicted to Gloria Jeans Coffee now.

$2000 and the Car is fixed and it runs beautifully……woooooohoooo!!!!! plus a new battery and a tank full of fuel, all up $2160.

Lets get out of here
Out of here fast.
I hope you get this message or your not home.

Words from Pearl Jam – Untitled.

Not that exciting is it, after 36 years I still have not got what I really want, maybe because I don’t know what that is.

At least Google noticed got upgraded from a PR1 to PR2 today, don’t think its a big deal, well it just means more people are visiting my blog and the seo is good and most likely more spam.

Also 7 meditations went from a PR0 to a PR2 today also, cool I know.

Well Happy Birthday to me, and I hope you enjoy my company for the year to come.

If automation does not work do a manual install, try command line in a terminal.
Its…
sudo su (makes you administrator)
apt-cache search libstdc++ then apt-get install libstdc++(version number here) (search and install c++ library if not already installed)
chmod 755 (add location of file here) eg. ./desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (changes file permission)
then run file eg. ./desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Easy as stealing a pie from the window sill.
Then just click on the air application installer find tweetdeck.air and install it.

3 weeks ago the hard drive on my laptop failed and then while Ubuntu’s disk checker was freezing it tripped the smart trip on the drive, but with a new reinstall a couple of days ago of ubuntu and all is good with the laptop back up and running but no trust, so no files will be saved there.

Then a few days ago I was sorting through my photos on my Western Digital 5000AV USB hard drive and noticed that some were scramble and totally unreadable through Vista on my desktop so I tried with Linux some came back to life but others didn’t and tried to save them only to find that when I tried to access a file it would scramble, virus? none detected, so I decided to save what I could which was about 80% of the files.

Then late last night a power surge and my PC with 2 SATA drives on it decided to make a drive disappear which was normal as my SATA cable doesn’t sit properly on the drive so I have to get a new one but until then.

I am using my gathered junk that I have made a quickky computer out which is a  2.4 Celeron with 755mb ram and guess what it runs quicker than 64 bit Vista on a AMD 64bit 3800, maybe obvious to some.

I think it maybe time to upgarde the computers, or buy a an APPLE.

They ask for how much they have on hold on my credit card, then to follow a link to enter that amount.

Screenshot!

Where do I put it????

So I send them an email telling them this I get, you don’t exist as your not in the phone book, well I am just not online and also told them if they did a search for me they would find me here, he told me he couldn’t find either, don’t think he tried really.

Here you go, Probably get into trouble for this but hey, I am frustrated with some online businesses not putting there trust in the real customers, not even putting the effort in to look at a piece of paper in a large book.

The Email:

We have tried looking up your address in white pages online and it doesn’t come up under your name. That is why we have gone with the Token method.

The link to enter the Token is on the Account page when you first log-in it is highlighted in red text if you are having trouble finding it you can email or call us with the amount and we can enter it for you. If you are unable to get the token you can either fax or email us a utility bill and a copy of your driver’s licence. Alternatively you can pay via Bpay or Direct Deposit.

Note, I don’t have a fax and I don’t have a scanner, I transferred the money to my credit card so it would be simple and easy and I would have got it by the end of the week.

Well as you may have guessed I won’t be using this company ever, canceled the order.

Thanks for nothing, but guess what you lost a sale and probly many more, good luck in the economic downturn.
