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.

    According to Dave this morning: “Can you believe it — there are weblogs that turn away traffic based on referrer. This is bad practice.

    One other experiment I’ve had in mind recently is tied into something that’s not been working correctly anyway.
