Corpulent Crassness

5. August 2004 | Category Internet, Updates

After browsing this guy’s weblog, I’m thinking I should be spewing forth earthmoving fountains of insite into the world and especially my corner of it. They say blogging is the new journalistic media, but what if it’s just a place to put forth yours thoughts without a care in the world if someone else would read it or find insight placed within.

Lawsuit Crazed

1. August 2004 | Category Personal

I find it amusing that a number of America’s prominent companies have chosen to screw over their customers. Finally customers are having their days in court. Sadly, at the current cost of trial lawyers, the hard fought money is being wasted.

Seems Paypal has finally settled with it’s class action suit that claims it suspended and denied users access to their own funds, saying they were doing it for security precautions! Luckily I’ve never had this problem with them, but it doesn’t sound like a pleasant experience.

Seems Microsoft is finally starting to settle most of it’s various suits with state governments as well for overpricing and conlusion on software bundling. How convenient that Minnesota settled with Microsoft before big numbers were thrown around! Well I’ll be happy to get some of that money too! It might be trickier to fill out this form completely.

And a few months ago I noted that I had actually recieved payment from the Music Industry for price fixing on CDs. Not bad, the check didn’t even bounce.

It’s funny that the ones making the loads of cash off the customers of these vilanous companies is the lawyers for ‘all their hard work’ and the defendants in these suits get to claim no wrong doing as well. Slaps on the wrist sure are painful it seems.

The average guy/gal gets screwed over on both ends…. so whats new?

Get yourself a piece of these pies…. before someone else does. It’s your right!

Hm… now what

12. July 2004 | Category Rest of Site, Updates

I’ve went ahead and ordered myself a new domain —

piotter.us

courtesy of the fantastic offer my web host was offering

Now what would be a good use of it? Possibly just an email address, but I got plenty of those already!

Give me a holla!

Pop goes the Weasel

26. June 2004 | Category Interests

Seems as though the convience of YahooPOPS and HotmailPopper has already reached Gmail. A Mr. John Barker is in development of his ‘Pop goes the Gmail‘ (PGtGM) program and it is already quite a neat little program!

I can’t wait for the improvements and have even donated to his development costs for the awesome little program! Keep up the great work!

P.S. Anyone needing a Gmail account can just ask
