Wow, we just wrote close
Wow, we just wrote close to twenty Christmas cards. Yeah, they'll probably arrive after Christmas, but it's definitively a huge improvement for me over last year (an infinite improvement, considering that I sent zero cards last holidays). It's been interesting trying to come up with addresses. Once again the internet (especially Google and misc. tax rolls) have proven an invaluable resource. I even had to resort to whois, although some people really need to update their whois records :-)
I got two packs of Christmas cards at Cost Plus and the stack of the square, non-religious cards contained a note that you have to pay $0.11 surcharge on square envelopes. No way, thought I, but sure enough, USPS slaps an 11 cent surcharge on weird envelopes.

Ahem.
CaptNemo here-
I see on your blog for6/01/2001 you mention gnxonline.
I'm trying to spread the word about these scam artists in the hope that they'll go out of business. I'm convinced they are a total scam operation. They attract customers by offering them low prices, then when they have their money try to get them to leave by offering bad service-lots of down time etc. If that doesn't work they find any excuse to terminate service early, their favourite is 'streaming' though they apparently have no idea what that involves.
Anyway I just recieved an e-mail from someone else who got scammed so if this helps even one person avoid them it's been worth my time.
