Thundara - can you do an edit on this one saying tonight 10-12 EST with the topic submitted by 8bit: motivation/productivity/procrastination or should I post a new announcement: I don't want people to get too confused.
It's happening tonight?! I can do tonight! Also, working on writing you back. Finally found a decent postcard.
Fantastic on both counts. Today a letter from wasoxygen was in my postbox. it was the most amazing thing because it seems he created a faux stamp consisting of a hubski wheel. The stamp said stamps.com on it and 49 cents in US postage. It also had a bar code. It was a beautiful thing. I looked up stamps.com and found a yelp site where a whole lot of people were saying it was a scam that would bill you forever if you signed up. Wasoxygen is a very very smart guy so I don't know what to think ... and the hubski stamp was a beautiful thing. I'd take a picture of it - if I could.
I neglected to research the company, naively trusting the USPS endorsement. The difficulty people report canceling their accounts is enough to justify avoiding them. That said, I had no trouble with my order on photo.stamps.com. It was a one-time order, paid by credit card, and there was no mention of a recurring payment and no further charges after I paid $19.99 for twenty 49ยข stamps. The complaints appear to come from the main site, stamps.com, which clearly explains (today, at least) that opening an account exposes you to $15.99 monthly charges.
It's not as though you'll miss anything important... IRC is an exercise in frustration and wonkiness... but let's all study up on the theme suggested by eightbitsamurai:What have you done that you would consider productive? What does productivity mean to you? How do you stay motivated?
I'll go out and buy some pineapple juice and prepare some pina colada for everyone. Unfortunately I'll be the only one available (and old enough) to drink it.
