Today was crappy because...

- LinkedIn Status...I entered my status and clicked enter and the dialog disappeared yet my status was not updated. Apparently the 'enter' key means 'cancel' to the LinkedIn people. I suggest that they fix this. Its kind of an accessibility issue fyi
- I spent an hour on the phone with American Express Corporate about a $48 charge that I couldn't figure out how to reconcile. And there was this damn 'beep' every 5 seconds so I couldn't concentrate on the agent's long explanations and I got a headache. Then I just hung up.

- digg toolbar
- OpenId & logging in with other services
- Whenever I try to login to a site, like http://wikihow.com with my OpenId it doesn't recognize it. Maybe I'm just not logging in correctly. The login instructions are cryptic and I just get annoyed. I was told to use http://idproxy.net if I had a Yahoo! account which I do and that didn't work either.
- The FOAF page doesn't work and I don't know what to do with it anyway.
- my Earthlink modem+Microsoft wireless router isn't working
- I blame @t because since he visited me it stopped working. :(
- I know, damn PowerBook G4, running MacOS and on a PowerPC. Must have really thrown the MS router for a loop. @t
- I thought we got the Earthlink modem working, i.e. when you connect direct with the yellow ethernet hardline - is it down again? @t
- The MSHOME wireless router is the likely culprit. This article on the router may have some tips to help debug it. Worst case, do a hard reset on the MSHOME router (pushing whatever hidden pin needs to pushed), and reinstall/reconfigure the router software on your laptop. That router is also no longer a supported MS product (no mention on the Microsoft Hardware page) so another option is to replace it with a cheap Linksys. Replacement might be the faster / less annoying option. Perhaps check Amazon and add one to your wishlist. @t
- Twitter was super slow today and this annoyed me because I was aggregating some replies I got and had to toggle between this wiki and Twitter and Twitter was slowing me down significantly
- Brightkite notifications for the people around me feature is getting overwhelming and I don't really care
- I'm getting too many notifications about checkins around me from Brightkite and I don't know how to turn them off from my phone via SMS. The browser experience for Brightkite stinks so I rely on SMS and emailing my pics in. Not being able to get to the PC when I'm annoyed and needing to change a setting upsets me.
