Have you ever wondered what is the official birthday of the internet? There is a set date but it’s not called the birthday. Its called the Internet Enoch.
I asked a tekkie friend if he knew, and he had to go look it up. Turns out the date is January 1, 1970. I never knew that but you might enjoy having this bit of trivia up your sleeve some day.
Almost everything has some sort of spell check and correction. It really comes in handy if you communicate with people who are highly educated or for business correspondence. Although we are a casual society, there is still a need for proper spelling and grammar. I try to make sure that I spell people’s names correctly, too. I think everyone cares about having their name spelled right and that is something they notice quickly if you spell it wrong.
About once a month, sometimes more often, I get an email from GoDaddy about saving money on domain names. Now, I only have a couple of domain names and it really does not cost very much to keep them registered with an annual renewal. But I’m all about saving money when I can. It all adds up!
So I tried to use the last coupon that GoDaddy sent me in my email last week and supposedly good for the rest of this month, promising a 20% savings. When I tired to use it, it said I wasn’t qualified to use the discount. I tried the coupon code, I tried using other links on their site, and I finally had to call their tech support people. Turns out that the coupon code did me no good – I got a better discount without having to do anything on their site except check out. What a great waste of time and huge frustration to me to deal with all of that – all for nothing.
Just as I was about to give up on finding a place to rent video games, I hear that Redbox will be carrying them in addition to the DVDs that they rent for $1 a night. That is great news. I love the Redbox locations and the price is more than fair. I hope they have games for all the different platforms. I like the Playstation 3 the best and those are the games I want to rent.
This is a new roller coaster in Ohio. I don’t know about you but there is no way in heaven’s name that I would ever get on that thing. Just look at these pictures and you’ll see why. The last picture tells it all!!!
See what I mean!!! There is no way possible to get me on that thing.
