procrastination- the absolute enemy

Monday, October 27th, 2008

I am a procrastinator.

I have been putting too many things in my life on hold, and you know what happens when you do that? Things fall apart, opportunities are missed and relationships unravel.

Bummer.

pronunciation- dig

Friday, October 24th, 2008

By looking at buydig.com you’d think it would be pronounced: buy-dig. I called to return the camera I bought and the recording pronounced the dig as ‘dij’; as in ‘digital’. Ah, I get it. I’ll bet though that they have a tough time correcting everyone all the time.

Some companies probably don’t think these thing through.

It reminds me when Experts Exchange bought the domain expertsexchange.com not realizing there could be confusion. [update: looks like they tried to forget it ever happened seeing how the website doesn’t go anywhere anymore]

Silly company pr.

Month’s End

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Gee. The month is almost over and I have yet to go to any dress up parties.

Although I don’t have a costume yet anyway. Maybe tomorrow I’ll find time to make one. Hmm.

I’ve been rather busy trying to get stuff together at my place, but I’ve noticed that my big problem is trying to store my clothes because they somehow always end up on the floor.

I tried waking up early to clean up, but 5:45 is too early. I went back to sleep and woke up late at 6:30. *sigh*

The Debate

This reminds me of something…

Lumix

Awesome. Apparently amazon offers suggestions on who else sells the item. I followed their link to buydig.com and it turned out to be less than the other company! $327.

I’m excited about getting a camera again. I miss having a flash and video recording capabilities.

I have this program on my mac that randomly grabs Flickr photos for my desktop.

Absolutely amazing shot. It makes me miss my nice camera. I found out that the Ritz Camera website rightfully cancelled the order I have with them.

I still need to get a camera though. It is time.

I did some research earlier today and I found a camera that looks interesting.

Panasonic DMC FX-150 – it takes 14 megapixel photos & HD video.

Then, after much searching, I finally found a site that sells the black model.

http://www.ritzcamera.com

What a deal too. Amazon had it for $312, but then I’d have to wait until they have it back in stock. These guys offed $377 including tax. I figured I could pay a bit more to have it as soon as possible.

Then I got a strange phone call and an email.

I went to their website and talked to a rep..

Rep: Please call 1-877-690-0099 to confirm the order.
Matt: Why do I have to do that?
Matt: and why is that a third number? The man on the phone said 8667604249 in the email it says 1-800-442-0031

It went on, but he refused to give me an answer and then ‘hung up’ on me. It was very odd.

I sent them an email requesting a cancellation. They’d better give me one too. I don’t want to support business that make you jump through extra hoops.

Why would I need to call after I’ve placed an internet order?

Internet

Yay! I had the internet installed today! Now I’m back online at home.

Time to catch up with my ideas for web blog posts.
