Clearing out some very old cobwebs

Feels good

Comcast sorry to be blunt, but once again you've proved how much you suck

Yesterday afternoon, I was trying to send email but was greeted with a failure notice. I had just done a bunch of updates to my site so I thought maybe I had blocked myself out of my server because I was hitting it a lot. That was not the case. I was able to do everything but send email.

To make a long story short I tested everything on my end and determined that it had to be Comcast. I tried their mail servers because with my experience working with 1&1 Internet I know that Comcast often likes to block ports and only allow you to send through their mail servers. That still didn't work. So I had to waste my time calling Comcast to get it to work, even though I was already doing exactly what the tech told me to do.

The tech told me that there was suspicious active from my IP address: I.e. massive amounts of email going out from my network. But of course he could not tell me when this happened or to what extent. So, I've been tagged as a spammer even though they can't tell me why. I know that I don't have a virus because I've checked and rechecked all my machines. Oh and the tech informed me that it was for my own protection. Thanks for the clarification Comcast!

The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight from The Airborne Toxic Event (self-titled), 2008

I keep hearing this on Sirius and finally caught the name. A bit depressing but it sucks you in.. Killer song. We've probably all been there too.

Where were you Tuesday, January 20, 2009?

Edge Gel Commercial

They show this on Hulu.com a lot. The commercial is bad, but I have to laugh every time I see.

New Years Resolutions

Everybody has them, but how many people follow them. Since I had a really good day today and actually started doing some of my resolutions. Actually they are just things I need to change or do better. It's just convenient to do it at the beginning of the year. So I'm calling them resolutions. Here a few of them.

Be more proactive (professional and personal)
Be more aggressive with my business.
Stop dating the wrong women (This one is a good one, but seriously are there any sane single women out there. I seem to find all the not so sane ones.)
Start working out regularly, since at the moment I'm not playing as much soccer (I think everyone has this one, I actually started the P90X exercise program today!)
Be more financially responsible.
Eat better.

Some pretty standard ones I guess. Only the first week, but so far so good. ;)
