Rotten Apple

Rotten Apple
5:00pm. Have you ever tried to create an Apple ID for yourself? Wow. Is it ever impossible. Every time it tells you to check your email for the verification number, you lose the form and must start over. After entering two pages of personal information, I must start over. What pure misery.

Afer trying again - just out of masochism I guess - I see that, in order to get an Apple ID you need more than just to work in a warehouse and save your money for a year, but you also need two computers and a cell phone to be able to send them back their verification codes. Oh well. I'll have to try again where I have access to a second computer. One of their brand new Macbook Pros is not enough to get the job done of aquiring an Apple ID on its own.

And the reason I need to update some of my ciritical software like iMovie is because of their suggested update to the great new operating system 'Big Sur'. By crippling my iMovie program until I can update it, you can imagine how disappointed I am with 'Big Sur', and how much it sucks to be encountering obstacles when trying to obtain an Apple ID to repair their damage to my software.

8:15pm. Okay, Apple, I'm into my lunch period now and my work supervisor is going to help me with the extra device I need to send you your confirmation code hopefully sometime this evening. Here is what you should say at the top of your Apple ID instructions: 1) Make sure you have at least one extra device to receive confirmation codes while you complete this form. Also, make sure you have a valid credit card issued from your financial institution. If you don't warn your customers, they will end up wasting multiple efforts at filling out the form just to learn about these requirements. Is that any way to treat your customers? As for your new 'Big Sur' operating system, it crippled my iMovie program. That's not a very nice way to force me into your 'App Store', especially when it's so hard to acquire the ID to download its products. With the insurance policy added to the retail price of this computer, I paid over three thousand dollars for it. If you were me at this point, would you think you'd gotten your money's worth?

11:39pm. I finally got my Apple ID with the aid of a third device belonging to my work supervisor. It's been about five years since I learned I needed one. What a struggle!

CrimeTube Stinks

Crimetube Stinks Look at all the plagiarism on Youtube today. Here are a couple of my old erased posts from 2006. I've still not received a dime in royalties for them. Let me tell you, a crime like this is so wrong, I bet its victim could still go to heaven after committing a mass-murder/suicide. For the CBC's sake, I hope I'll not be pushed that far. If I'm lying, come and lock me up. If I'm telling the truth, what price will you 18 million viewers pay for supporting such evil fraud? And while I'm at it, does Youtube really need ten commercials on that old forty minute WW2 documentary I saw last night? Surely, it couldn't have cost that much to produce and share. Say what you want about America, land of the free, home of the brave, we got some dumbass motherfuckers floating around that country [like George Carlin fraud fans]. (Now obviously that doesn't include my readers). And I'm not just ranting and raving, I have some evidence t

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen
