How did I know he was lying?
I had a bit of my time wasted over the weekend by a person with quite an imagination. The remarkable thing about this encounter was that he was in his 60's, or so he claimed. It all started when I received an enquiry about my new online endeavor, my osCommerce template, which is a practical and...

An unpleasant forum experience
Yesterday I was reminded yet again about the differences between a well managed paid membership forum such as Blogit and a poorly managed public forum. I won't mention their name other than to say that I lease server space from the company that provides this forum. It is a typical so called support...

Are we talking $10 or $10,000 here?
If there is one aspect of dealing with the general public that never ceases to amaze me, it is how some folks have not the slightest comprehension of what to reasonably expect for their money. A recent exchange with another eBay member drove this point home to me yet again. The back and forth...

My favorite half baked conspiracy theory
Ever wonder where Spandex and Velcro came from? When I was a kid we were told that both modern day inventions were off shoots of the NASA space program. A result of research on items needed for space exploration. Society in general became the beneficiaries as many new technologies were developed and...

Can you imagine being the author of this spam email: "Dear google.com, I visited your website and noticed that you are not listed in most of the major search engines and directories..." I remember a date I went on once when I was in my early 20's. Back then I did not believe the old adage: "beauty...

My nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize

A worthy candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination should be able to account for at least these two criteria. The inventor of the 950ml beer...

A new credit card - just what I need
Many, many, many years ago I got out of the habit of using a credit card to make any type of purchase unless I was forced to by the seller not accepting any other type of payment. I've always had a Visa card in my pocket but had cured myself long ago of making purchases I could not afford. I kept it...

Looking for some places to submit articles to?
A number of years ago I was walking down a crowded city street on a midweek afternoon when a scruffy little man approached me and asked me for some spare change. He had all of the appearances of a desperate alcoholic, completely bloodshot eyes, gnarly veins sticking out of his nose and face,...

No I don't want to see your naked pictures
Awhile back I had a bright idea. Nothing new about this as I often have bright ideas but sometimes they are indeed "bright ideas" as in really bright ideas, as in throw in a little inflection of disdain and roll your eyes skywards types of bright ideas.
