Go To Hell, Microsoft
Still sick over here. Eyes, mostly; also nose and mouth running.
Despite my warning Kelly to take it easy and not get tired out, she's still inviting folks over for dinners and visits. We've got our Adams Family friends (Doug, Jodi, and tiny Cyan Adams) coming for this weekend. My hope is that Kelly will acquiesce to less intense meals and what-not.
No time to work on coding lately, although I've had a few spirited conversations with Andrew Means regarding bee art for a bee-hero video game. All brain-power, no code committed. I DID just get Freelancer -- yes, I know Microsoft made it, and yes, Microsoft sucks -- but I didn't buy it direct. That severly lessens my impact on their bottom line, since the money went to the toddler playschool hosting the rummage sale, and not Microsoft.
Speaking of, I really hate Microsoft. They're unfair bastards. They only want your money.
Get this -- a year and half ago, I sign up one of the sites I'm hosting to their MSN paid search listings. If you think MSN Search is fair and balanced, think again. It's $100 a year for 3 pages listed. So we paid it.
Renewal time came around, and there was no way to cancel service. So I changed the credit card number. I get a bill last week, claiming I owe them $22.90 a month since then. That's a lot of cash. Called them and explained the situation, and then got chewed out by the person on the phone. I was told that I should have known better, and if I had checked my credit card statement from a year and a half ago, that I would have seen the phone number on the billing line item.
I use a debit card. I don't keep billing statements. Sorry, but that ONE CHANCE TO GET YOUR DAMN PHONE NUMBER DOESN"T WORK FOR ME.
Go to hell, Microsoft.
