This morning I was woken up by my phone, but I did not set the alarm. It was a lady from forex.com. Yesterday, I was searching for sites that had simulation stock market that I could play. Like an idiot, I signed up for this site. Like an even bigger idiot, I put my phone number in for one of the information fields seeing as it was required. So the lady calls this morning and says she saw I did not make any trades. How intrusive can a stock trading company get? What a major no-no of a company. I went to the site to find a place to delete my account, but could not find one. I had to join a chat with someone that works at the company and ask her to delete it. Three lessons learned: Do not submit your phone number to any site unless it involves a purchase. If you run a company, do not be intrusive to your customers. and If you run a company, DO NOT CALL PEOPLE AT 10:30 AM ON A SATURDAY MORNING.
On to the good news. I just went and bought a new Linksys wireless router this afternoon seeing as how a roommate will be moving out. I flashed the router with DD-WRT. I found a link on DD-WRT’s wiki that led to scorpiontek.org. This was one of the better tutorials I’ve read lately. It had pictures that made everything run smoothly. Now my 50 dollar router is a 500 dollar router and ive even noticed out internet going waaaaaayy faster! Well im off, theres kilobytes to be stoled…
