Need to change my Checking Account PDF Print Email
Written by Administrator   
Thursday, 07 August 2008 21:30
I have been thinking for awhile now that I should change my Checking Account to another bank. I have been upset with Bank of America for some time now. They have changed their policies about pending transactions on accounts. So if you multiple pending transactions that total more than the available balance then they charge you an over draft fee. I think this is just wrong. Just this weekend I went to Home Depot to return some stuff we were not going to be using on my floor (as you know I have been replacing it) and I got a credit of $215 that did not go back on my account right away so if I had to buy that same amount they would have approved the transaction but I would have been charged an overdraft fee;  Even though the money was being returned to my account.
 




Costco - Glasses PDF Print Email

I just got a call that my Fiancée’s glasses have come in at Costco. I guess that means that we will be taking a trip out there after she gets home. I would like to do it tomorrow since we will not have to rush home or do anything else. Plus tomorrow is pay day so we could pick up some more coffee and see if they have anything new and wonders out there.

Ivy League Baseball Club PDF Print Email

I did not know that they have a Cubs rooftop clubhouse, well it’s not really a club house it’s more like a box that you can rent under a special license by the City of Chicago. The Cubs Rooftop seating is located at 3637 N. Sheffield. The best thing about this s the facility can be rented by corporations or by private groups in order to watch the games and have more of a group experience. I would love it if my company had an incentive where this was the prize. It would be so much fun! The facility can hold up to 200 people that is way more than my company would take, but with a minimum of 10 people any average group should not have a problem. I don’t know what pricing is since it must depend on the game; it would be nice if you could get a price from the site without having to call or an average price.  

 So if you are a Cubs fan and you want to have a good time then I would say this is the way to go. I know I will be hitting up our corporate office for them to consider this as an option for our next big incentive. I love going to sporting events! Especially when it’s not on my dime.

Wrists PDF Print Email

MAN my hands still really hurt from working on my floor. I'm sitting here at work and my wrists are stiff and I keep trying to stretch them out and it just makes them hurt. I dont know what I can do either than take a bunch of drugs to cause the inflimation to go down. But I dont want to do that since I try not to take a bunch of drugs for things that will correct themselves over time. I just wish my hands and wrists would stop hurting. The good thing is the swelling in my fingers have gone down.  But I still have a line where my ring was cutting into my finger.

Atlanta - Vacation PDF Print Email
Written by Administrator   
Thursday, 07 August 2008 17:34

I love Atlanta, and I would love to take my Fiancée back to Atlanta and shower her town. In addition I would love to go to Wild Adventures Theme Park. My Fiancée has never really been to a theme park and from all the stuff that I have heard about Wild Adventures is that it’s one of the best Adventure Parks out there. In addition to going to Wild Adventures I would like to take a couple of Savannah tours as well. I never made it to Savannah the last time I was in the Atlanta area. I would need to take at least two weeks for this vacation, since traveling all the way across the country you need to stay for a long enough time to really enjoy the area since you would have two days of travel and I can’t seem to sleep on the plane anymore so I need a couple of hours once I get there to be able to do anything.

 Another reason to go is that I have a couple of friends that live in the Atlanta area that I have not seen in years and years and it would be nice to stay with them and maybe get a little bit of a local tour and see the offbeat sights. J

Phishing - Old Site PDF Print Email
Written by Administrator   
Thursday, 07 August 2008 17:34

So I got a message today that one of my old sites was comprimised by someone that uploaded a script to steal infromation from Wachovia. I dont know how it happend but the bastard that did it wont be getting anymore information from me. They loaded it on an old Joomla site that I have not been maintaning for about two years now I think. I should have just taken it down but I wanted to keep it up so it could be there for posterity. But now its deleted. Its sad but what are you going to do...

I can't have people stealing from people. I'm going to have to update all of my sites and make sure they are secure. GRRR!

I have been working on getting a credit card processing system, added to my site. I have found a company called Orbit Payments and they seem to have a really nice setup. I have been getting a lot more traffic to my site right now and I have been getting more and more referral sales. Since these sales I have been picking up I would like to start selling direct since I would make a lot more money. Orbit Payments has a low fee of only 7.45% on each transaction and if you have a higher volume of sales this rate becomes negotiable. If you are looking to see how the service works you can try out a demo at (https://secure.orbitpayments.com/merchants/login.php)  if you like the demo and choose to sign up with Orbit Payments they also offer iSpy Fraud protection and that is important since no matter how secure you think your site is there is still the chance that something could happen and you want to be protected from that.

 So shop around and then pick the best service my choice is Orbit Payments and as always feel free to leave me your comments I always like to get feedback!

I really need to get some time off I think, so I can be refocused on what I need to get done. I'm having a hard time staying focused today. I know I need to get some stuff done but it is a real challenge to get it done. Maybe its the weather changing, maybe its because summer is almost over and I want to go play. Or it could be just the stress of having to get the last of the items done to have the floors finished. I dont know what it is really but a couple of days in bed sound really good.

Maybe I'm just tired and I dont want to be at work today....

 

 




Home Entertainment PDF Print Email

We got the floor done and now we are working on getting the house back in order. Since we are making all of these changes I have been looking at getting a new Home Entertainment Center. I have been looking online and I have found a bunch of stuff I would like to have. Like a 52 inch LCD TV that would be my dream for the living room. I have always wanted a big TV to play some X-Box one, as well as watching some movies. I have a great receiver but I need to get some new speakers for it. The ones I have right now are a little big and bulky and you can’t really mount them around the room.

I would like to get those Bose tiny speakers, I have seen those at all the electronic stores but they seem a little out of my price range they are called Acoustimass they are only about $1000. So I need to save up a little and start adding stuff over time to the point I have the best home theater system.

So if you are ready, and have them money I suggest you get your Home Teater System started. You know you want one!

Mass effect 
So I started playing Mass Effect last night and I was playing for like four hours and I dont really feel like I have gotten anywhere. I have everyone except for one memeber of my group that I still need to recruite. But even with that it seems like I'm still just working on the beginning of my quest to kill the bad guy. I know the game is like 100 plus hours but I need some action soon in order to feel like I have accomplished something.
