So by now you may or may not have seen T-mobile’s commercial about Billshrink.com. Well, I decided to try the site out, I put in my info and after battling the site’s login system (I had to setup my account twice), the site recommended a new plan for me. This new plan was offered by none other than t-mobile, and would cost me an additional $30 a month. Now whats funny is that the site could also help me buy the t-mobile plan, so I wonder if that even though the site is not owned by t-mobile if t-mobile is still somehow causing billshrink.com to view them more favorably.
Warning
Gmail SMTP down?
The time is 12:10 on July 31st, 2008 (7/31/08) and it looks like gmail’s SMTP server may be having some problems, when I try to send a mail in thunderbird using gmail’s SMTP server it goes to 33% hangs for a bit and then gives me an error message that says the email can’t be sent. I’ve looked, but can’t find much info about this problem, so I would like to pose a question to my readers…
Is there anyone else out there experiencing these problems too??? (please comment if you are)
UPDATE: It was an encoding problem on my side, all seems to be find with gmail.
WARNING
If you are ever on the Internet and come across a piece of software called “Vista OSX V3″, ”Vista OSX Transformation Pack”, or something like that then don’t, I repeat DO NOT install it. According to Microsoft (via windows defender) it comes with a Trojan virus. Also, it is not possible to remove it and it does NOT backup your system before it installs, it also corrupts your old system restore backups. It does look cool, but it is NOT worth the risk.
