 From the fying pan into the frying pan 30 Jul 2009 07:27:20 pm |

I finaly had that bastard CV joint in the pulsar fixed. After over a year of that unsolicited child of a joint screeching and then putting my on edge when I HAD to drive the pulsar around after my daily broke and it was going through the motions of wanting to explode. Fixed. Oh but I wish it was really so.
Yes the joint is fixed, but there is a new problem. Control arms and associated friends are also about to explode on the same wheel. Although this isnt as important, I would prefer to not have things not working in the car. Like, the clutch pedal box needs a fix, I have to remember to put the fuel pump o ring back in, change those friggen useless wipers that I KNEW I shouldnt have bought but did anyway because I got 25% off, get my other cars engine replaced, and blah blah blah. I havn't dont an upgrade to this car in a while. Begining of this year was the brakes and that was it. Oh, I also chopped up the air box a bit. Made a big difference too. But meh. Whatever. |

A petition run by:
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/
is an attempt to remove cameras. I know for a fact that this will not work. Our Government bodies are hopeless. But I signed anyway, perhaps I still believe there is a chance it will work. Maybe, maybe not. Our government doesn't listen to the people. Or to anyone with brains.
The petition is at:

***EDIT***
I received the following reply regarding this message:
"We have received reports of this and have forwarded the matter to our web
host now to investigate as the highest priority.
In the meantime we recommend reporting the website in question to the
Australian Government here -
http://www.acma.gov.au/interforms/spam_complaint_email.asp.
Please understand that we would never give out or sell a customer's details
to a 3rd party (it simply isn't in our interests to do this)."
I find this acceptable. And I did complain using that link. I might do so more in the future.

Some of you might know that I have a pretty spamless inbox. I take the time to ensure I don't get caught up in any schemes and immediately retaliate against those bots that do send me spam. However, I recently discovered something very cruel, from a company I used to like. www.PCcasegear.com. Their range is very good and I used to get my fans and stuff all the time from them, however I recently lent my newish email address to my uncle so he could place a large order. Here is the end result:
"To whom it concerns,
I recently gave a family member of mine permission to use my email address as they do not have an email address of their own. They came to your web site, registered an account with their name and then proceeded with the order.
A week or two later, I find an unsolicited email in my inbox from a company I have never heard of with my family members name as the addressee.
Your privacy statement states:
"Privacy Policy: All information submitted to us is private and confidential and not shared with any third party. Unless we're presented with a court order, your information will not be released or sold to any other person."
I would like someone to explain to me, how I have received an email, with my family members name on it, if you do not sell or release information to any other person.
Regards,
Aaron H"
I have only received one to date, but the mater of fact is, they are in complete contradiction of their privacy policy. What is to stop them from braking the rule where they are in fact suppose to supply us with what we bought. More to the point, I absolutely hate spam. To the point that when I get my surgery done, and I will have a lot of time off, I might go through the process of some particular court in order to prove my hate. |

| So, this year so far has seen my ability to breath and sleep decrease dramatically. To the point of serious frustration. A couple months ago I finally organised a day off work to see a doctor. Who then sent me off for a sinus cat scan and gave me a referral to a specialist. I took another day off work for the cat scan. The next two months I was too busy/tired to follow up. I forgot and lost the doctor referral. Another day recently taken off to see the doctor. Another day taken off to see the specialist. You need surgery. Ok, when can I have it? Hmm, Tuesday this week. I organise leave immediately and a trip to the hospital. Last minute, we checked your insurance and it wont cover it. Call mum, since she has it under her name. That's crap. You can do it practically free at my hospital. You will just have to wait. Oh and go to the doctor again for a referral to one of our doctors, then go to see a specialist at our hospital. And I can see the process repeating itself. |
