The fading of blogging
13 Apr 2008Through 2007, the number of posts I made per day/week/month decreased steadily. I know post new items 2-3 items a month, or less. After 2 years of steady entries, I just didn’t have anything to add to the conversation.
Having been an A-list groupie for this entire period, I lost touch with the self-perpetuating scene. A [...]
You know you have reached middle age when…
9 Mar 2008You hear a song off Bob Mould’s album Workbook used in a TIAA-CREF commercial.

Some days you look outside…
2 Mar 2008Most days, I look inside. And that’s part of the problem I suppose. That’s why I haven’t posted in so long: there has been no inspiration to stand and shout about anything.

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 [...]
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.
