Timewarner Live Chat Sucks

·

It seems unreal that in 2011, Timewarner's support center online live chat help system is using user agent detection instead of browser capability detection to allow for chat. At least they should upgrade the agent compatibility list.

WIndow 98 or higher with IE 5 or 6
OR Max OS 10 with IE 5, netscape 6, or Safari 1.0

I am sure it would would in firefox and especially in chrome if it works in safari. Its the result of such lazy web programming. I you find this and need help time warner, you can hire me as a consultant.

Blockbuster no more

·

The blockbuster's are closing up shop. Its the end of an era. Just like record shops, video shop are going the way of he dinosaur.

Then again there is this newer record store near Elmwoodstrip and Bryant.

Unlike audio I think this is really it for video. I can't see the same nostalgia you see with record stores. Video tapes specifically are less quality than the new video formats, even the streaming ones.

Brodo in Williamsville

·

@terry and I went to Brodo in williamsville because we were out there for a doctors appt and @terry's special enrollment exam. The test has all multiple choice, T/F questions. I got a lot of the practice test right because I am good at testing in that format. If I to explain the answers instead I would have failed completely.

Being able to eat USA grown cherries and string beans together means its really almost summer despite the weather indicating otherwise.

Field Roast

·

Why do vegans eat fake meat? Field roast? Forrealz? I know I used to do it with Tofurky. What a hyppocrite I am.

Basra the sulcata loves watermelon

·

So much that he will try and eat it through glass. I think that proves that its all about color and not smell with him as there is no way he could smell through the sealed glass container. At the same time it might represent that he us smart enough to recognize watermelon from previous experience.



Artists and Models

·

We went down to the rock harbor Commons for artists and models. The space is really amazing for a show like this. @terry sang in the Holly and Brian rapture choir rumble.

So many people I knew were there. Even @matthew came out with cyndi.

I wonder if any other music shows happen at this venue. Once the concrete floor was a little slippery it was so fun to dance on. I wanted to take more pictures but I was constantly doing something.
