Finished Moving

by Daniel Smith in Life

Just as a public service announcement I have finally completed moving from the apartment to my new house. My dad is insistent on me posting pictures of it to my website, so I will be working on that this weekend after the new furniture shows up (I don’t want to post pictures of my empty living room). Now the task is just unpacking everything and putting it away. So the next few days and nights will be dedicated to finally really settling in.

Besides that a few things have changed, I now have the 15Meg service from RoadRunner and I have a DVR. I like the DVR purely to pause live TV like football. I’m sure I will get more into it later.

New House

by Daniel Smith in Life

So right now I am patiently waiting to close on my house. On October 20th I should/will be the proud owner of a 3 bedroom 2 ½ bathroom house. I am very excited. So I have to start packing up the apartment and start looking for furniture. Loads of fun to be had.

Check out pictures of it here.

I hope everyone else is having a good start to October.

You only live once, and this is a definitely not a dress rehearsal.

Can’t Get a Break…

by Daniel Smith in Life, Marching Knights

What do the following have in common?

  • The start of Marching Knight Band Camp
  • Family renting a house in the keys

Answer: They both could or will be interrupted by Tropical Storm/Hurricane Fay.

It wouldn’t be hurricane season without one at least threatening to come our way. So to everyone in Central Florida…”hunker down?!?”. I think we can expect some weather, but I don’t know if we should expect to see real tropical force winds or what not, I guess by the late night update we should have a better idea. Looking at the computer models 6 out of 8 have the store coming close to Orlando, but mostly showing it as a Tropical Storm. This should be a lot of fun!

Don’t buy from eCost.com EVER

by Daniel Smith in Computing, Life, Tech

Bought a Motorola S9 Headset from ecost.com after seeing it listed on Woot.com as a sidedeal for less than $50. Well these headsets retail for around $130 at Best Buy and they are a bluetooth pair of headphones. Well when I got them they were poorly wrapped in box, and were missing the ‘Genuine’ Motorola holographic sticker. Well the mic doesn’t work on them and I suspect them to be a fake. All I have gotten was the shake from eCost on the phone. Finally they ‘supposedly’ called Motorola and authorized a return to eCost??? I don’t think this possible and this is probably all a sham. So now I am waiting for an email from eCost with the RMA instructions and prepaid return slip so I can get a refund of my money. Funny part is that the woman warned me that the email will probably end up in the Spam box and to check that for it. Strange thing for an e-Commerce store to have to tell me. Never buy from them ever, they just do not care about you.

I am going to Best Buy to purchase them and spend the money on a ‘quality’ product.
