Not really, but it is funny. A service called ShadyURL.com offers as the name implies – a shady URL for a web site, or other location on the internet. Just for laughs, I had seen what mine came up with, and decided to show it off, but in reality – probably would not promote it. Besides, my web address is much simpler to use.
The example I can show off is http://5z8.info/yourdick_i2d9z_trojan which would actually point to http://www.fsp.cc/ which needless to say looks a bit shady. However, this is I’m sure a fun way to link web sites if you’re not concerned with the length, and if you are OK with providing something that is a bit suspicious. You can get your own shady URL by going to http://www.shadyurl.com/

Today was a bit of a busy day. In the morning, I went to an eye appointment. Nothing serious, however I hadn’t had new glasses in 6 years, so I figured I should get a new pair. I knew one thing, and that is insurance wouldn’t cover everything. I chosen wire frames which is similar to what I have currently. This however costs an extra $60. I also chosen Transition lenses which would help me a lot since my eyes are sensitive to sun light. This however would cost me about $90. All together, that is $150 or about ¼ of my income.
After I got back home, I grabbed a DVD that was waiting for me, and watched it. I then went to the post office to drop the DVD off, and pick up my mail. Finally, the charging cradle for the cell phone came. The reason I bought that was to put my phone to a better use at night. The phone would sit up in portrait position and slightly leaning back. Run a clock app on it, and you have instant bedside clock. Now, another feature, not only would it charge the phone, but it would charge a spare battery (when I get one).

OK, I know I’m not an Apple fanboy. They have good music players, although there are better ones. Their software is bloated for just being a media player, and they have proven time and time again that Apple products you own are not really yours. I know I could get my HTC phone unlocked to work on any GSM carrier, however you do that with an iPhone, you void warranty. You still don’t own your videos you buy on the Apple store (anything with DRM isn’t owned in my opinion). Now, Apple has gone one step further.
Any Apps developed for the iPhone, iPod Touch, or the iPad is under full control, and essential ownership of Apple. An agreement created early this year would force developers to agree to such terms to continue have their apps on the store. If it was any other company that did this, there would be anti-trust suits going on, but I guess there are simply too many fanboys in the Justice department. So, does the alter to Steve Jobs has just 1 button?

After almost a week of waiting the charging cradle I ordered has arrive. What does this mean? Well, for the immediate change of pace, very little. However, instead of me plugging my phone into the wall directly with a USB cable that connects to an AC adapter, it would be inserting it into the dock which would stand the phone up right in portrait mode and at a slight back angle.
And in the near future, I am hoping to get a battery for the phone which would plug into the back of the charger – effectively charging the battery in the phone, and a spare at the same time. This would allow me to get through the day as anyone with a high demanding smart phone knows – you can’t get through the day on a full charge. Another reason why not to get iPhone as you can’t switch the battery out.

Today was a bit of a slow day, but busy in the morning. First, my phone finally updated itself from 1.5 to 1.6. This is definitely important as some software relies on 1.6. I went to the post office, but with nothing there. I did needed to get postage stamps though, so that wasn’t much of a big deal. Afterwards, I went to the UPS store to send the defective phone, and there was a mail box for USPS mail which needed to go out. I then went back home.
I wrote a couple of blog postings which hopefully would be worth reading by people. In addition, I pretty much remained home and tried to rest my ankles. I also called the orthopedic doctor I deal with, and made an appointment. That appointment is scheduled for the 15th which I have a couple of other things that needs to be addressed then too.
