Take for instance, Great West Life. They have an excellent website, if you use Internet Explorer. If you use Safari, it has a myriad of issues from timing you out of your session, to flat out crashing.

TV.com is another good example. It falls apart in all browsers other than Internet Explorer under Windows. The only thing that is universal is their advertisements.

It’s time that sites be held accountable to their customers for the quality of service they provide. Mac and Linux users may be the minority, but they deserve equal access to online services.

If this is your idea of Handle With Care, you need to review what that phrase means. I’ve been waiting 7 weeks, for my one of a kind hand made figure to ship to me, you guys suck.

Alien Assault traders, is essentially a clone of Trade Wars. You get a ship, and build your galactic empire through trade, colonization and domination. Check it out.

The first removal went perfectly fine, no fuel spillage or anything. Put the new part on, which has a much larger switch for changing the fuel settings between PRI-ON-RES. Unfortunately I overlooked the two washers that are required for the two bolts that hold on the fuel cock. So, it started to leak a bit.

I repeated my steps of siphoning out all the gas and running the bike on reserve till it died and tried removing the bolts again, which resulted in a considerable spill, hence the firemen reference in the title and their presence at my home. No flames, just needed some help cleaning up the fuel.

Found the washers I needed on the old part, removed the entire gas tank and installed it fresh. New fuel line too. Everything seems to be running quite well now. No leaking no added smell of gas other than what was already there from last night.

Bikes are fun.

But today on my ride, the engine died and I figured I needed to flip to reserve. I did and no luck. I looked down to see if the loose fuel line was too loose, nope. The problem seemed to be that the carbourator had in fact fallen off the engine block. Apparently I was missing two hose clamps, that I have since installed.

The new fuel cock arrives next week. I think THEN I’ll have all the parts I’m supposed to have.

Motorcycles are fun.

Tip to others. Put a rag in the empty toilet once you install it, while you’re putting the tank on and hooking up the water. Makes for a more pleasant experience.

“Kaspersky Labs has discovered malware that inserts links to malicious Web pages within ASF media files, posing a danger to Windows users who download music files from P2P networks. Infected files launch IE and load a page that asks the user to download a codec. The download, a Trojan horse, installs a proxy program to route other traffic through the PC. The malware also has worm-like qualities, according to Secure Computing. It searches for MP3s, transcodes them to WMA format, wraps them in an ASF container, and adds links to further copies of the malware, all without modifying the .MP3 extension.”

I was quoted $224 for the first and then $349 for the second. Why do I have to pay a $175 penalty for already being a customer?

A customer for nearly a decade no less.

How is that fair?
