I'm all out of coal, So...

Dec 25, 2003 04:43

As a christmas present to you all, I finally sat my ass down and signed up for a new Hotmail account so that those in search of me won't have to haunt my workplace or smell my apartment building. Microsoft didn't make it easy for me, rejecting an elephantine list of name submissions including (in sequential order ( Read more... )

I'm Confused.. sucsinem December 25 2003, 07:40:10 UTC

So wait... your saying you have MSN now? Or just Hotmail...

p.s. That was great. Thank you, I needed that.

I was very tired when writing this entry. I mean of course that I got both, the address "fist_crawdad@hotmail.com" won't be used for email correspondence, though, just for logging onto MSN.

P.S. What am I being thanked for? You're welcome regardless, of course.

Re: Sorry if I was unclear sucsinem December 25 2003, 11:04:43 UTC

Thank you for the entertaining post. I enjoyed it very much.

Oh. In that case it should be I who thanks you, for a much appreciated compliment.

Get some pot (~$20) for New Year's if you're going to Tommasi's party. I'll cover some of the cost of it if you want.

OK ecid December 25 2003, 21:16:41 UTC

I didn't know Tommasi was having a party. I'm guessing it's of the new year's variety.

Re: OK heraclitus December 25 2003, 22:18:12 UTC

Indeed it is.

Tom,

You should have chosen microsux@hotmail.com

or even microshaftwinblows@hotmail.com

Because really, Microsoft is an evil corporate monster that doesn't follow HTML web compliance (Internet Exploder); not to mention, forcing their own crappy software on the entire planet that has more holes than swiss cheese.

Damn the man. Buy a Mac :P

I didn't even try those, because I had no doubt whatsoever that they would have been taken already. There are tribes of coconut worshipping savages on hitherto unvisited corners of the pacific who nevertheless know that Microsoft makes bullshit software.
But I bet even they are too busy to switch to Linux or too poor to switch to Macs.

Yes it's true, Macs are expensive. But the lowest end model is just over $1000. So they have come down in price significantly.

As for Linux, I'd still like to learn. But something tells me it'll be a love/hate relationship of learning.
