Why is my $5 Footlong $6.49? 0

This is not the $5 dollar foot long.I was hungry so I ran to Subway for their $5 footlong, mang! Then I ordered a footlong turkey breast and ham (with everything but pickles). As the guy was making it, I noticed they didn’t have a sign up about the $5 promo. And I kinda asked if they have the $5 footlong deal. The guy replied “nor!”, I think he said “no”. The people stood in line behind me boooooooed and left. At the point of sale, my total was $6.49. At least I didn’t have to pay tax.

Anyhow, I enjoyed my sandwich. And to let you know, I can afford $1.49 more for a sandwich! FYI, this is the Subway by Ralph’s on Paseo and Mowry.

Since this commercial plays way too often on TV, one of my coworker decided to use thier music as ringtone.

Blackberry Redirect and M$ Exchange 0

If a corporation does not have BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) installed, users will have to run Blackberry desktop manager with redirect services on a dedicated desktop, in order to receive their precious emails. However, in this case, they cannot syncronize their calendars onto their RIM devices from what I found out, here are the facts:

  1. If trying to sync via USB cable, the desktop manager software tells you the calendar is not available, I guess that’s because the calendar data are stored on the Exchange server.
  2. Even if user have desktop manager/redirect, they still cannot get calendars, because redirect only pushes email messages.

Please, please! Let me know if I’m wrong.

How to fix the Internet? 0

The first thing I did after I came into my office this morning was watching this episode of South Park, because on my way in, a co-worker said it’s too funny (Well, it’s funny to us because we’re geeks) to be missed. It appears the Internet was down throughout the nation, and the “Internet” was a bigass router. The yellow light was flashing.

And, the “Internet” was fixed by power cycling the router. Hey, it works in reality too!

WTF! America! 4

Whats with all the bull crap going on with Tibet, China, Western Countries Boycotting the Chinese Olympics and what’s up with Dali Lama trying to act like Gandhi? Our world is in a phucking mess! I think we, the people in U.S. need to focus on our own issues. What about our war with Iraq, and other terrorists. How about all the drama with our economics and politics? How about all the people losing their houses. Not to mention, gun controls, drugs, violence in our schools, gangs and duh… the freaking gas price!

Instead, you phucking idoits protests in the Olympics torch runs. Can you even phucking point out where Tibet is on the world map? Mind your own phucking business, you dumb phucks!
