Cruise Talk Central Gets Face Lift
August 26, 2006
Wow, didnt know it had been two days since I posted 
I guess time flies when you are having fun. I have been tied up with changing/improving the way Cruise Talk Central looks.
I have a bunch of things I want to do and the current layout was cramping my style and taking things very vertical. I decided I needed to update the appearance and spread it out a bit and go to three columns. So, I have been working that the last few days and its finally ready for primetime. If you havent visited Cruise Talk Central lately (or at all), stop on by and say hi! Let me know what you think!
A couple of quick notes…
The Texas Hold Em game for Xbox 360 is good and addictive. Working on mostly the single player game right now (tournaments against cpu and such) with an occasional foray online. My bankroll is growing, so thats good.
I havent had a chance to play Madden 2007 yet, but its moments away – just as soon as I finish this post.
Sean had a football scrimmage and was a terror on defense with at least a dozen tackles. He wasnt too happy on offense though as he had to play center since the regular kids werent there. He did so well, the coaches said they move him from fullback to the line anyways which is not what he really wants to do on offense.
Comcast – Bad ISP
August 11, 2006
I sure am having struggles with Comcast of late. They are not my ISP, but I have maybe half a dozen contacts, including family, that do use the Comcast internet service. Over the period of the last six months they have intermittently blocked me from sending email to Comcast subscribers thinking I am a spammer. Now, they dont really think I am a spammer, but instead say my IP is reasonably close to that of spammers, so I get default blocked. I guess my definition of close is much different than theirs given what they say the problem IPs were and what my IP is.
Up until a couple of weeks ago, I would simply send them a remove me from blacklist email and they would comply. Now, they seem to be completely ignoring me. If I was a subscriber, I would not be very happy that they were blocking email from coming to me. Let me filter my own spam. Evidently, I can do a better job than they can :rolll:
I dont have any issues that I am aware of with any other providers, just the fools at Comcast. I continue to send the black list removal emails to them, but no response or action on their part. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at their ineptitude or lack of service since I am not a customer. But then again, I doubt I ever will be, especially after this fiasco.
I think it’s time to write a rule in my email to auto send the blacklist request for all of my returned mail from them. I doubt it would make any difference but when they were unblocking it had the appearance that a human was in the loop. Maybe they will get the message, but I wont be holding my breath.
