I hate AOL!!!!!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah, like that’s news, eh? 🙂

Anyway, a long time ago, in a website far, far away I had a link to the Web Site Garage. I haven’t used the service in years, but still had the link on the Basic HTML Help page. Well today I got a notice that the Website Garage service is being shutdown by AOL/Netscape, who had acquired it while I wasn’t paying attention, apparently. No biggie, right? Well then there was this later on in the email:

To help you transition from the Web Site Garage products, we’d like to begin bringing you, via email, relevant offers regarding Web site-related services and doing business online.

Good thing I read all the way down the page! At least they gave you unsubscribe instructions. We’ll see if I really get unsubbed.

Speaking of email updates, CafePress sent me an email about the Head Wear Sale they are having. Between now and July 21, you can get $3 off any head gear purchase at the One Man IT Dept. Store or any of their other stores.

    Someone, who shall remain nameless but who is related to me, (although not in my immediate family) forwarded me one of those chain letter email thingies. Not a big deal, she’s been known to do this from time to time, but in this case, she didn’t take out any of the previous forwarding information. This…

    These are the things I’m thinking today.. Preliminary information about Gnomedex is out. While I don’t plan on going this year, Angela did point out an interesting fact of life in the comments to that original post. For the last three years, I’ve gone to Gnomedex on my company’s dime. The speakers and tech information…

    I don’t know how she did it, but by the time I got home from work last night, Angela had already been on the phone with RoadRunner support and had the modem all ready for me to transport back to their office in exchange for a new one. A short trip to their service center…
