I’ll Give You 110-Percent!
I was listening to Leo Laporte’s The Tech Guy Show and looking at the show notes.
It says:
“Google looses search ground in June.
Google’s share of the web search market is down to 61%. What is that other 49% using?”
Let’s see. 61% + 49% = 110%
I get it, it’s just like Bender who is made of 30% iron, 40% dolomite, 40% titanium and 40% zinc, with a 0.04% nickel impurity.
OK, it’s a typo on Leo’s Show Notes. It might get fixed by now.
Name for a Wireless Network
There are a lot of funny names for Wireless Network. I saw this one and tried to get in, but I don’t know what the password is. I’m unable to join the “therearesomewhocallmetim” wireless network.
Monty Python would be proud.

Package is not delivered, blame it on UPS.
Beginning of rants.
Have you ever made an appointment with cable installations, or anything alike? Most likely you’ll be getting the usual “We’ll be there between 8:00am to 12:00pm” or even worse like “We’ll be there between 8:00am to 5:00pm.”
That is just plain annoying.
Well, I ordered Canon Vixia HV30 for a specifically for a 4th of July event from Amazon.com and had it on a one-day-shipping arrangement. Amazon shipped it immediately, and the package arrived at a local UPS distribution center early morning. According to the UPS tracking center, the package was out for delivery at 6:33am. I received an automated call from UPS that the package is being delivered and requires delivery confirmation in person. I had no problem with that, with the exception UPS did not have any delivery time specified. From my experience, UPS delivered packages in my area ranging from 2:00pm to 8:00pm. There was at least one person at the location until 5:00pm. Due to a little arrangement called “work”, I wouldn’t be able to get back to the location until after 6:00pm.
Due to severe traffics and other factors, I arrived at the location a little bit after 7:00pm. I found the UPS delivery aatempt notifications at the door. I immediately called UPS so that I could pick up my package at their distribution center. To my surprised, UPS wouldn’t let me pick up the package because I didn’t call them before 7:00pm. Since Friday is a holiday, and UPS wouldn’t do anything on the weekend, I wouldn’t be able to pick anyhting up until Monday June 7th.
Considering that I purchased the camcorder mainly for the special 4th of July event, it would be a “little” too late. What really bugs me is that UPS wouldn’t let me pick up the package tonight.
I had it, and I instructed UPS to send the package back to Amazon. I called Amazon and explained the situation. They understood the situation and would give full refund to my account.
I am really happy with Amazon, and I completely blame UPS.
end of rants…… maybe.
