My Tie

Originally uploaded by schleifnet

So I had to wear a tie to work Thursday last week and when I got home, of course I wasn’t allowed to remove it. Why? Because Annabel decided to start playing with the silkiness and looking a the blue green print.

Speak of ties, this Sunday is a double tie whammy (or at least is will be in a few years). Not only is it my first father’s day ever (woo-hoo), but I enter my third decade. 30 years is a long time to be around, here’s to a few more.

If the weather allows I’ll be partying it up in the Quarter Saturday night on my last night of my twenties (after barbecuing in the backyard with friends and kids).

Mike the admin here, just wanted to call you attention to two new things in the sidebar.

Although I don’t like the idea of certain types of social networks (stalking is bad) I have joined twitter, finally. I was sucked in by Twit.tv, Jason Calacanis, Slice of Scifi and PVPonline and just couldn’t hold out any longer.

 I also added a running feed of my del.icio.us bookmarks. I’ve used the site for quite a while to track cool sites and keep tabs on ideas for blog posts for WIN while at flashinsider and bloggingneworleans and i have wanted to add a running tag here for a while, but never got around to it til recently.

 Anyway just wanted to give you a heads up.

Baby’s fine. Wife’s good. Be sure to check flickr often for pics and now movies (add us as a contact to see everything, we like to keep most family photos private).

This past week powweb (my hosting company) did a mysql update and schleifstein.net went down… apparently they changed some location settings that borked wordpress. We wouldn’t have been effected, but i did the wordpress install myself before it became a standard install option for all sites on powweb (like the install on my dad’s site, buy his book) and so the upgrade changed his settings automatically, but not mine… anyway, all fixed now, yay.more posting soon, via me, maybe here maybe back on WIN… 

This weekend I decided to return to the past via my phone number. You see, right before Katrina Mandy and I decided to loan the brother in law, Adam, my cell phone. due to the storm I did not get back the phone until very recently. We decided to let him keep it indefinitely and added a third line to the plan for me with a Florida number. The plan was never to keep that number indefinitely, but only until we settled somewhere and then it would change area codes (I have been paying a florida and louisiana cell phone tax for over two years now). Well, since Adam got a new job with a work cell phone he didn’t need our extra line anymore. Since that was back in November and he passed out his new number to all who needed it and since its now March, I figured I could take back the line and return to my pre-Katrina number.Yes that’s right, my cell phone number is changing. If you need to call Mike, call his old cell phone number (the one from way back in the day) or Adam’s old number (the new orleans area code one). If you don’t know what that number is either email Mike at any of his addresses or use the contact form on this page to ping me for my new old number.Yay, new old numbers.  

That seems wrong to me, should every team have at least one rep? Heck even Miami is sending someone.

so I filed an FCC complaint today against some idiot real estate agent from florida who keep trying to send faxes to my cell phone. 561-697-3135 has made a monthly habit of dialing my personal cell phone number and beeping in my ear. Plus the number is in a fax program so it keeps redialing my cell every five to ten minutes for a couple hours til it gets tired. Well that is what happened in the past, today only 2 calls, but i expect more soon.

I did find out whose number it was last month though. Alejandra Vizoso Saylor. She’s a real estate agent in Florida who doesn’t know how to work her fax program (apparently) and who I think I spoke to last month, the last time this happened. On Sept 13 2007 I asked someone at 561-697-4122 to stop faxing me and they assured me they would. Unfortunately I got another call today, so FCC here I come.

Compliant number 07-T00049399 was just filed by me via the fcc’s website about this idiot agent. Hopefully they’ll come after her and ask her to stop junk faxing people. Hopefully she’ll stop…

If I get another call I’ll call her directly and inform her that I filed the complaint. If not, let her file out about it via google.

Oh and in case you’re wondering, I got her info from here.
