Once again, darn AT&T sucks… When I got home my data connection on my AT&T phone no longer works and I only have 1 bar of signal. Yet, my verizon phone has 5 bars and full data and it is sitting right next to the AT&T… Need to look at getting rid of the AT&T one. They really need to work on their coverage, if they want to “have the most bars, in the most places” cause as it stands now I get better coverage on a provider that is not even native to the area than I do with a native coverage provider.
Checkfree hacked?
As I was going through mail tonight, gmail had marked this message as spam, but it appears as though something actually happened and checkfree lost control of its domain for a while…..
We take great care to keep your personal information secure. As part of these ongoing efforts, we are notifying you that the computer you use for online bill payment may have been exposed to software that puts the security of your computer’s contents at risk. This letter will help you determine if your computer is actually infected and advise you how to fix the problem and protect yourself against future risk.
The malicious software affects some but not all customers who accessed online bill payment on Tuesday, December 2, 2008. For a limited period of time, some customers were redirected from the authentic bill payment service to another site that may have installed malicious software. Your computer may be infected if all of the following are true:
- You attempted to access online bill payment between 12:30 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. Eastern time (GMT -5) on Tuesday, December 2, 2008, and
- You were using a computer with the Windows operating system, and
- You reached a blank screen rather than the usual bill payment screen when you attempted to navigate to online bill payment, and
- After reaching the blank screen, your computer’s virus protection program did not tell you via pop-up or other messaging that malicious software was detected and quarantined.
If all four of the conditions above are true, your computer may be infected. We have partnered with McAfee, the world’s largest dedicated security technology company, to provide you with a complimentary copy of its VirusScan Plus software which, when installed, will detect, block and remove any malicious software from your computer hard drive. Please contact us at 877-800-4864 for further instructions or 800-564-9184 (Option 1) for further instructions.

More bars in more places…. but only if it is an urban place
Since having my cell phone switched to AT&T, I have noticed more problems that when I had US Cellular. Now while driving up the interstate the signal goes up and down, sometimes cutting out completely. In fact at home my signal goes between 1 and 2 bars… US Cellular at least had 4 or 5.. So everytime I see one of those commercials, it just makes me mad, as unless you are in a highly populated area, your stuck with the same old crappy coverage that Cellular One had before AT&T bought them out. The only good thing about the new one, is that the GPS works in it with Google Maps. But other than that, the internet access is slow, calls dropped and the coverage sucks.
It is about time. What is a Tad, Dash, Pinch or Smidgen?
While I was out walking around the massive amounts of people trying to get those sometimes good black friday deals I found these… I needed a new set of measuring spoons and the ones I got came with this extra set. I just wonder what the actually equate to? So if you really need a “tad” of this or a “dash” of that, or a “pinch” here or a “smidgen” there, these are supposed to be what those “terms” equate too…
