Welcome Back To Amazon
I don't spend much time on Amazon. Poked around there again today, looking for items to add to my wish list. While updating my credit card info, I found some UI design problems. Spent a lot of time poking around, enjoying myself. Good way to kill a lot of time. Always did like a toy store.
VPN fixed
After another 30 minutes on the phone with tech support at our VPN vendor, they offered another tweaks. Could not test from work, but it did the trick at home tonight. Transparent tunneling to the rescue.
Welcome To The Real World
Crystal and Nate came home to find the water no longer worked in their apartment. Seems the water service for the house is in the name of the people upstairs, who somehow neglected to pay the bill. Sigh...
PGP 8? Still Waiting...
According to an email, my pre-paid PGP encryption upgrade is ready. Following the link in the email takes me to a download pqt3. Under the column heading "Download" is text that says simply "No Download". No links anywhere on the page to get the software. A call to customer service elicits a promise to have another department issue a new license. Still waiting for that new license and link via email. PGP Corporation may write usable encryption software, but their e-commerce capability isn't anything to write home about.
