Snow Leopard Shipment Problem

So I ordered snow Leopard using the up-to-date program which makes the $35 (CAD) program $13. It was suppose to arrive on the third but it never did. So I decided to wait a few days.

It still have not arrived to this day and I decided to give them a call. [Apple Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775]. Apparently, there was problem with Canada post and there were lost shipment. They said they were sorry and that another full copy (the $35 version) would be delivered and would get here between September 16th and 21st via FedEx or Purolator.

Shows that I should have been more proactive.

Breaking social norms.

Just read Iva Messy's post on breaking social norms.

Here are some that I can think of that I think I should try

-talking to someone while they are in a stall
-Sitting in the back seat of a car even though you are the only passenger
-Facing the other way in the elevator

Radio Survey

So a phone representative of an un-named radio advertisement researcher asked if I wanted to do a survey for them. I figure this is the best way to get my my voice heard and why I don't listen to radio.

A few days later I received mail from the company with the package for the radio research. I am suppose to list what stations I listen to and when. Since I don' listen to radio at all, I just filled in my info. The best part is, I got $5 from them as a token of their appreciation for participating in the survey.

Sweet.

Time Capsule

Just bought the new time capsule. I am glad that I waited a few months for the new versions (1tb and 2tb)

It was a breeze to install. It took around 45 minutes to install for the first time. This includes:

-Connecting the wires
-Running software that came with the time capsule in a macbook and 2 windows xp machines
-setting up a network printer for all the computers
-setting up the shared hard drive for all the computers
-and connecting ipod touch and iphone to the internet through the new network.

I am pleased with this new hardware. It's a bunch of things in one box: network printer, wireless router, and a network hard drive.

The main reason I got the time capsule was that my D-link DL-524 wireless router kept kicking me off the network every 15 minutes.
