Especially when we already know his answer to everything is to censor the Internet.

Then they told me there is no USB cable for my camera. Way to go x_x

But I’ve never had the pleasure of going to the Myers Centre shop, mainly because I usually don’t have a need for it >_> but still…

WARNING, TURNS OUT THIS COMMENT HAS NO RELEVANCE.

@Alex Then I sure as heck hope “Staples Promotional Materials” aren’t a preferred supplier! As for secure erasing, that’s the one issue I’m not as worried about, magnetic media are the ones you want to really securely erase several times before giving it up.

I hate to tell you this, but that’s exactly how USB Flash drives are in government. You can’t use your own (might have viruses). You can’t even use a new one (might have viruses). But, you can buy a certified clean one from a preferred supplier. Once you have transferred the confidential data from point A to point B, the flash drive is securely destroyed (crushed into a fine dust). I tried to point out that US Dept of Defense Standard 5220.22-M (3 Secure Deletes is enough) has existed forever. *blank stare*

That sounded better before I started typing it.

Frankly the comments and this post are over and above the level of feedback I ever expected from my complaint about feedback. That so many people have the same feelings is gratifying, in the sense that it means I’m not a completely lonely hermit of the internet (inthermet?)

As for getting my name in gold leaf on a door, that was actually one of my unstated goals of starting a blog, so maybe you shouldn’t give me too much credit.

I started writing for similar reasons to you – I was frustrated and angry at life for making my wife sick, and I needed an outlet. Since then my site has become more than that. I guess I just needed to know that other people liked or appreciated what it had become.

Thank you Ruben, you made my day. I’ll try not to change my style :P

@Joshnunn You mean, like the way you have me in your blogroll on your site? ;)

My site(s) are hand written by me, and although I’d love to say Firstwaves.org was a huge multi-author site, that just isn’t the case :P Although I am independent and passionate.

Categorising my main site however might be difficult to do, as whether I’m an “independent writer who’s passionate about a topic” is very much up for debate, seeing as I lack much of any topic worth mentioning.

As for your site, I shall remove it from my reader, and henceforth visit it only on the third Tuesday of each month when the moon is at its zenith.

I use Socialite for OS X as my feed reader, and when I get behind on it it makes me very frustrated. And then I delete everything.

Eh, I get labelled an Apple fangirl cause I own several Macs and an iPhone. I dunno, I suppose I just found what works for me.

Oh, VirtualBox hacks, how I long for thee.
