Unwanted Windows Live Weather Alerts
In: GSM| RANTING| Software| Technology
31 Oct 2007We got Samantha a new T-Mobile cell a few weeks back. But it came with an unwanted and expensive feature: every morning at 11:00, she receives a weather update from Windows Live Alerts.
Apparently the previous owner of the number had these alerts programmed. And of course, there is no way to shut them off because [...]
Email returns
In: Life
30 Oct 2007All mail to pierzchala.com addresses should be working now. I moved to a new registrar.
If they work out, I will be migrating away from Namesecure.

Mail to pierzchala.com
28 Oct 2007If you have been trying to send me stuff at my personal email address, it seems that Namesecure.com has decided to take it’s sweet time setting up my new email services.
Right now, if you try and send mail, the MX record reports that there is an NXDOMAIN.
I am not happy.

Travelling with Bill
22 Oct 2007My colleague Roger went on his first business road trip last week.
It was from hell. He spent some time detailing the whole hellish experience here.
On November 14-15, I am travelling with Roger to Columbus, OH. I have promised to make it a much more…enjoyable experience.

Dear Sprint (PCS): You suck!
In: GSM
16 Oct 2007Samantha’s second Samsung A560 died last week, so I got mad and called Sprint to try and get out of the contract. No way — a kidney and my eldest child is the only way to get out of this deal with the devil.
So, until March 2008, the phone will be powered down and stuck [...]
Rizr Mod — Debranding and Speed
In: GSM
14 Oct 2007Got my T-Mobile Rizr Z3 unlocked yesterday and it is now running the stock Z3 Software…looks like for Malaysia!
I hated all the extras that came with the T-Mobile Software. Now, I am happy.
