As Far As I Can Tell


You’re tasty Mr. Pig

After quite a bit of trouble, I’m now running Windows XP Service Pack 1. This update includes 100s of fixes and patches, but rumor has it that it might make Windows Update stop working after October 2nd. I guess that Microsoft is trying to tighten up their security on their product activiation keys.

In other computer news, I’ve finally found an instant messaging program that I like: Trillian Pro 1.0. It works with any/all of the popular IM systems simultaneously, plus has support for reading XML news feeds like headlines and weather. The most important part to me however is that the interface is a lot nicer than AOL, and the away window doesn�t’ have to stay open and show in the taskbar (the single thing that makes me not use AOL IM).

The Jax started to very seriously piss me off today when I woke up to an email full of obvious lies about his non-corporation Moped Navy. Lots of claims about how he’s going to sue me and how he wants me to put a disclaimer on my website saying that the Moped Army is not affiliated with him, since he complied and did a similar thing when we asked him to.

Note: The person who is being copied doesn’t has to put a disclaimer anywhere stating their lack of association, it’s implied. That’s like Dr. Perky asking Dr. Pepper to put a disclaimer on their soda cans saying that they have nothing to do with them.

My end conclusion is to not waste any more of my time on this guy. He can live in his fantasy lands all he wants, as long as he stops contacting me. I don’t plan on talking to him again; hopefully he’ll just go away. The fact that he chose to create an organization with such an obviously ripped off name does annoy me though…we’ll see how long I can keep quiet.

While looking for that link above, I came across some really cool Dr. Pepper ripoff related websites:
