I had to go back to Netflix. Redbox is great, but the selection is very limited. Granted, they have the latest releases..but..not TV Series. I heard about an HBO series “True Blood” that sound right down my line. Well, I don’t have HBO anymore. I checked Redbox and of course they didn’t have it. I checked Netflix, of course they had it.
Sorry I ever left you Netflix!!
This coming Friday..DTV Transition!! I hope everyone out there is ready. The wait if finally over. I remember writing a paper in college back in 1997 about this transition. 12 years later, it is finally upon us!!
Let’s see if they really boost their signals like they claim they willl after the transition. Especially ABC and CBS.
Yesterday I made a few BIG changes!!
I canceled my Netflix account for one. My co-worker told me that there was a new RedBox on the route I take to work. I had never used a RedBox before, but was always interested in them. I had heard good things about it. Lately I’ve been too busy to watch the moves I get from Netflix. With RedBox I can control when I get a move. And for $1 a day, it’s OK with me!!
I also cancelled my Audible account. I basically got the account so I could finish The Dark Tower series. I read books 1-4, but got tired of reading so I got books 5-7 on Audible. Audible is great, but I never have time to listen to my podcasts.
And finally, I subscribed to GameFly. There is alot of great games coming out. But, at $60 a pop I don’t get to play many of them. Also, I tend to lose interest in most games if they aren’t a game I can pickup and play for only 20-30 minutes…like Call of Duty 5 Deathmatch. Also this will give me a chance to get some of the games my brother gets on GameFly and we can play them together.
Yeah…these moves are a real “Game Changer” for me…..
I installed Windows 7 on my work laptop last night. I installed it over my Windows XP installation. I had planned on blowing my Ubuntu install away, but changed my mind. The bad part is, installing Windows 7 blew away my grub boot loader. I fixed grub by doing the following:
**Be sure to use the number reported from the find command on step 4 when running step 5**
Grub fixed!!
I’m afraid of my cat!!
I finally got my DSL connection restored after a 5-day outage. It really sucks that it took Embarq that long to get my service restored. I had to hound them with phone calls each day.
I think I deserve a refund this month.
This makes the 4th day I’ve been without an internet connection at home. Embarq is really startin to tick me off!!
The NBA Playoffs are heating up!! I’m hoping that the Cleveland Cavs get the chip this year since they whipped my team…the Pistions.
I’ll be happy with any of the remaining teams being champ….as long as the freakin’ Lakers don’t win!!
I’ve really been impressed with Labron this playoff series. He’s playing like he’s got somthing to prove…like he’s be best in the league. Is he?!
Oh No…I feel a cold coming on. I’ve started popping Zicam to attempt to ward it off. This is Cold Warfare!! I usually get about 2 really bad colds a year. Actually I’m past due. I haven’t had a cold all Winter and I’ve made it to early Spring. Now it’s hard to tell if it is really a cold or just my allergies flaring up……
Happy Easter to all out on the Intertubes!!
