9 minutes 30 seconds flat…

Friday, May 30th, 2008

So after several months of forgetting to cancel my Vonage service, it’s finally disconnected, and $25 a month are going back in my wallet.  The account was originally opened to use the V-Phone USB device - pretty slick implementation.  If only it worked “properly” on Windows Vista.  I was truly amazed that Microsoft would blame Vonage and vice versa; Vonage posted a work around, but I could never get it to work.  On the brighter side of things, it’s done and over with in a mere 9 minutes and 30 seconds.

I probably shouldn’t mention that I used my SkypeOut account to cancel it should I? :)

I Will Derive

So I would like to interrupt this analysis of the Four Hour Work Week (gone horribly wrong in my own lifestyle implementation recently) with a little geek humour - from our friends at /. that decided to post “I will Derive.”  It may seem somewhat trivial an exam, but I remember my days as a physics undergrad under the pressure of performing and having similar tunes in my head.  Nevertheless, enjoy…
