Just a place for my thoughts, small achievements and rants.

It's been a heck of a year.
Yep, I'm talking about 2005.

I registered a few more domains and switched host companys. The guys that were hosting my sites turned out to be real jerks. To extort more money from me, they locked my sites and sent me a ransom......errrrrr, I mean an invoice. Not the real paper kind that you can look at and scratch your head over. This invoice came by eMail in the form of a Paypal invoice.
Past Due Account, no less!

After fretting about it for an entire evening, I hopped out of bed and paid the bill just to regain access to my sites. By morning, I was able to download my sites and save them for the move to a new host.

It's really weird how the old hosting idiots latched onto the account so quickly after I began my tranfers. It was almost instant. Like I clicked the pay buttons and they went......"hey, hold up. Where do you think you're going?"

Anyhow, the jack*ss Ted, kept responding to my emailed requests for the passwords to my accounts like "hey you bozo broad, you have all the account information" but as it turns out, I did NOT have the passwords or login info. So off I went and lodged one of those nasty complaints with Paypal about the bill I received (and forced to pay).

I quickly calculated the overpayment and payment for services not received and the jack*ass Ted (hey, I like that name.....I think that will be his name from this day forward) might be getting a call from my credit card company if this thing doesn't get resolved quickly. Fraud is a terrible thing, Ted! Didn't your momma teach you not to rip people off?

Well, I was billed for a 2 year term, a few months ago for my domain renewal but it was only renewed for one year. So I had to cough up more money and add that to the total he owes me.

I don't take kindly to people jerking me around and this guy is going to learn the hard way that I may have been a novice when I started, but something about being online for a few years can make a skeptic out of anyone.

I'm sure this will be edited later on; when I have more time.
