Damnit finish

by Nicholas Barnard on September 30th, 2004

Okay I’ve been really really good at finishing nothing lately. So first I’m going to finish the following entry then lay out some goals publicly for myself.


Infone has the following great statement on their FAQ why they don’t do their billing via the phone company.

Why do I want to be billed on my credit card?

With your authorization, we charge your credit card (or debit card, if you wish). Phone companies aren’t very good at billing; banks and credit card companies are. So you are likely to get charged correctly by us by using your credit card. Also, in using your card, you aren’t beholden to any particular phone company making it possible for you to receive our service from just about any phone.

Given my Cincinnati Bell bill I now know what they’re talking about. I don’t want to go into a full analysis of the issues, but the “one time charges and adjustments” section is a complete clusterfuck, and more or less has been since I’ve been a customer of theirs… I wish I had some viable alternatives.

And one more thing they need to clearly state what time period the bill covers.

Okay enough about Cincinnati Bell.


Things that need to be done today:

  1. Blog about the debates, before reading any other blog entries.
  2. Finish my blog entry about my <sarcasm>thrilling</sarcasm> Friday night research.
  3. Clean my room, the rest of the apartment has been cleaned and it now looks like pig sty.
  4. Consider doing the laundry.
  5. Wash the dishes. (no considering about this, they need to be done)
  6. Look up my 7th and 8th grade English teacher and ask for her to give the lesson on subject-verb agreement to George W Bush. I am embarrassed to have as the leader of our country someone who lacks the ability to speak it at the college level, despite graduating from Harvard.
  7. Blog about recent rodentesque road kill.
  8. And do some more work on my recent programming project, currently called X.cgi
