iPad

Well, Apple has done it again, but I am not so sure this one will be a success. The iPad seems to be a great tablet, but honestly its just a ipod on steroids. Granted it looks nice and has a quick processor, but the limited firmware and lack of hardware make it less of a tablet. Granted I don’t expect to have Apple add everything all at once, cause there is always version 2, 3, or even 4 to add things, but at least give us something over the competition.

We will soon see though. We didn’t think the iPod and iPhone would be a success, but now look at it…

Been up to things…

Well, I know its been a while but I have been a bit busy with work and etc.

I migrated my router to a Linux security appliance from a windows server box. Therefore cutting my electric bill since I don’t need to have a computer on all the time (over 200 watts a day).

I am currently selling my iPhone 3GS 32GB on craigs if anyone is interested. I wasn’t really using the data anyway and it was just costing me more, and more money. So I just picked up a non-smart phone and I am happy so far with it.

I hope to get more involved with the blog once again, just need to finish off a few more things.

DFS – Dell Financial Services

Well, I have had my DFS account for only a month and its already bothering me. I owe only $35 on the account, and would like to pay it off. I have tried at least 12 days in a row, but always the same error:

“Our website is currently experiencing technical difficulties. This account cannot be accessed momentarily. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

I have tried different browsers and computer, but still the same error.

I call to access my account and tried to pay, and the system can’t find my account. Now when it does I need to pay extra since you pay a fee for paying over the phone. Plus to make matters worse I am late, and its almost time for the next statement. So therefore it might even get reported to my CRA. I gave a nice survey for that site, and I hope they fix it soon, or else that account will be closed.
