Oh for the love of pixels

March 6, 2008

OK so the past few days I have been busy offline due to the service being down. I have downloaded a ton of emails from the servers and well since it is MY blog, I have some things I need to say.

First off as a member of a site I take it as a privilege and I don’t abuse it, never have. But I have to tell you my grave disappointment. I paid to join a site as which I got to pick my tags I wanted. Plus it was to include other extra benefits. Over a period of time that changed (tremendously) and then I was shifted over to another site because it was to be combined and adding all kinds of gif pixels (not tubes why do they call them tubes as I can NOT open them in PSP, but in animation shop first, they simply should call them graphics, its what they are, cute pixel graphics). Then the next change was getting to request a lesser amount of tags. Then the next change was now you have till a certain day to request if you want them, and you get what you get! There is no getting to pick and choose. No more cute animations. No more couple or friendship tags. Now I didn’t join that site as I personally did NOT have a need, I joined for the benefit of signature tags, getting to pick and choose the ones I wanted. I like collecting couple tags, hence I am married and love to put a cute tag in my little emails to my hubby when he is at work. Its the little things you know! Now I didn’t moan, or complain to the owner, frankly if I was to say how unhappy I was I would of been tagged and then treated with disrespect and then drama would of started then kicked out of a membership I paid for.

I am a member of another tag membership site where I can request 5 tags at a time, and you can personally ask her how often I request and when I do, I generally do not pick 5 at a time. I don’t abuse the system and I don’t hog em all OK! I also am a lifetime member at another site and I still order tags from time to time and pay for them.

So now there is more changes because some FOOL choose to be an idiot and upload what she got as a privilege of being a member, then charging others money and giving them out as part of their membership site. I don’t blame the site owner as I am sure she is frustrated but she made a reference in her email to members that her heart isn’t in it anymore. I already knew that with all the changes she had already made to the membership in the area of requesting tags, I am sure she is tagged out and trying to keep creating so many for members to choose from was getting harder and harder.

So a new change to her terms is WE HAVE TO LIST ALL URLS OF OUR SITES IN OUR MEMBER PROFILES. So needless to say I will NOW be breaking terms as I will NOT being doing that. I am sorry but I already have a membership page here at this site with site I am currently active with. I will not list my other private sites that have nothing to do with the membership to this site. I will NOT add a members page to my other sites. That is just crossing a line making this a part of their terms of use. Not happening! Not only that, she says it feels like a burden for her to create things for her members. So now I am a burden!

I actually go sometimes month’s at a time and not request, sometimes I forget, but see that’s why I originally paid for lifetime because I didn’t have to worry about expiring and forgetting to request a tag and ending up just donating free money. I figured this was the way to go.

I really do think the pixels are very cute, if I didn’t I would not of spent the money I have spent buying them!!

Wireless issues today, not happy camper

March 6, 2008

Well my morning didn’t start out very good today, yes in fact it was due to AT&T Uverse. This time?? Wireless portion was down. My son was not able to use his school laptop to log into class. My dad let him use his computer because its on an Ethernet port. So my dad left at 9:45 and I was still on the phone at 11:15. I wasn’t dressed and my bed wasn’t even made. Just screwed up the whole morning routine.

They were going to send a technician out again between 2-4 and I told them if he had to replace the main box I was going to blow a gasket because there was a new one here last night and they guy didn’t change it like he was suppose. I would come unglued really fast because this could of been avoided today. So he had to keep putting me on hold until the computer told him what to do next and then he said to unplug our box and let it reset and I did that, and the wireless started and had to use a new code.

So what happens next you ask?? So I am working on the school laptop with the wireless stuff and the damn thing just shuts down. So called tech support with school and UPS picking up tomorrow. I think it needs another new fan in it. Next week is OGT’s so good time for them to work on, we should get it back by Wednesday.

I finally got to take my bath and now I feel better. But I tell you sometimes I wish it was hubby who took care of all this technical stuff instead of me!!
