Ok, not quite, but I have joined the staff of TipMonkies! Don’t worry though, this site will not change, I’ll still be posting the same stuff you all know and love, just some of the articles I post here will also be posted to TipMonkies.
This page/form plus Mailinator.com equals free iTunes. Don’t forget to use the alternate domains (listed on Mailinator’s homepage) if they start blocking Mailinator addresses. I filled out the form last night and had the confirmation code this morning. I clicked on the confirmation link and am now awaiting the code. I’ll update when/if the code arrives.
UPDATE: 2:30PM, still no code.
UPDATE: I got the code!
I swear, everything I read on The Sneeze (Half zine, Half blog, Half not good with fractions.), I like. It’s just a great site. Check out The Sneeze if you haven’t already. I guarantee you’ll like it or your money back.
Speaking of The Sneeze, here is a comment I posted on The Sneeze about his post called Toys For Tears (read his post first then read this):
“Mine was a Rubik’s Revenge that I got for my birthday from my Aunt. I had mastered Rubik’s Cube and was ready for the next challenge. When I opened it and messed it up I realized it was much harder than the cube. After playing with it for a while I figured I’d just easily take it apart like the original Rubik’s Cube and put it back together correctly. Unfortunately, the innards of Revenge are different than Cube and the trick to open a Cube breaks the Revenge. I never told anyone that I broke it on the day I got it and I never got another.”
I watched Hellboy yesterday and it was much better than I was expecting. I expected a cheesey comic book movie, but it was actually a good cheesey comic book movie. It had lots of cool special effects, some nice bits of humor, cats (and kittens), and was overall a really good movie. I could have done without the love story, but hey, no movie is perfect. Oh yeah – and I loved the Abe Sapien character – reminded me of C3PO. I give Hellboy 4 out of 5 Vogons.
Yesterday my sister asked me how she could stop some things from running on startup. Since programs can run at startup multiple ways (startup folder, registry, boot.ini), I pointed her to a freeware program I have been using for a while now – EasyCleaner by ToniArts. Not only does it allow you to manage your startup, it also provides a bunch of other handy things like deleting invalid shortcuts, a better Add/Remove, and managing your registry.
