QotD: Thanks But No Thanks

How do you handle phone calls from telemarketers?

I don't get them. Most of the calls I take come in on my mobile phone. It's illegal to telemarket to someone's mobile phone in the US. If one does come thru on, say, a landline, I simply hang up or if I am feeling particularly pissy, I will ask to be placed on their do-not-call list.

If a telemarketer calls my Grand Central number, which I give out pretty freely, they must get through the call screener first. If they do, they can forever be routed into the bit bucket, complete with an "out of service" message.

Some Personal Computing History

Over on phoneboy.com, I decided to go into my personal computing history, at least with respect to PCs and Macs. Might be worth reading for some, or it might be a total bore.

Daylight Saving Time sucks

Daylight Saving Time sucks
ad infinitum

After this week's fiasco at work related to Daylight Saving Time, I never ever want to have to deal with Daylight Saving Time again.

What Does Your Desk Look Like?

I have two different desk pictures. One is my more "normal" desk and one is a "makeshift" desk I used today in order to focus in on a particular task. You can guess which is which, I hope. :)

One of the regulars in my VoIP blogging circle started a "meme" getting people to post a picture of their desk that they blog from and "name" three others to do the same. Not sure I want to go that far, but to any of my Vox neighbors out there (or anyone else for that matter), feel free to show off your desk!
