Not related to rugged laptops but related to this site

Today was one of those days where when things go wrong, well, they all go wrong. It happened because of me and my proverbial lack of time, but I got to a point where this domain name had only one day before expiring. So I have decided that I should pay it right about…today!

So I took the invoice and went to the bank, this is how I should pay it. Electronic payment is not a habit here. Anyway. When going to the bank the lady there, who is already an acquaintance to me :-) said..nope, sorry, you need an other kind of invoice, more “business like”. Lady, I say, I don’t have any other invoice but this (type) I am using for 5 years now. Nope, ask an other one. I can not ask an other one since the guys at the hosting company provide this kind of invoices and I have always payed it like this. Nope, she said.

Do you have an other office of your bank close? There. Ok, I go there. Well, “there” everything went smoothly, only that lady at the previous office was against the procedure. She made me go nut, I was driving to the second office in a hurry, I have almost hit an other car, I got mad at him cause he was where he should not be, and after that I realize I knew the guy so I felt sorry for getting mad at him.

After coming back to the office I phoned him to tell him I am sorry for..see above. Whatever. It was stupid of me.

This post has nothing to do with rugged laptops, not with laptops in a general way. I only wanted to write this cause I felt very frustrated and stressed today. That is all, folks, I will go home now…

A blog today, a post tomorrow…

I was not aware of digital-nomads.blogspot.com blog. I found it due to some comments on my blog here and I started to read it. I found it to be quite an interesting source of technical information. Really. To me, it sounds kind of a usability blog, I mean it does not necessarily tell you why buy one thing or an other, but it gives you clues about using particular services, particular software packages, etc. It follows news in this industry of IT, works like an observer of industry news.
I remember an other blog, of a friend of mine, this time, itobserver.blogspot.com which in a way does a similar thing and by the way, I invite you to visit it!
