A pitch. For a really great service.

https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEyMTMwMTU5


Thats the link to DROPBOX. basically its the most amazing tool ever.

you're gonna want it. especially if you have more than one computer. AND IMMA GUNNA TELL YOU WHY!

Dropbox is a folder, it sits wherever you want it to, you can move it. its okay, dropbox knows where it is.

now the neat thing about this folder PAY ATTENTION YOU IN THE BACK! is that it SYNCS, SEAMLESSLY to any other computer you run dropbox on. because you are also running this little program in the background.

so say you're like me, i run a windows torrentbox and media centre at home. its nifty. but since it has things like an external 500 gig hard drive and all sorts of other attachments, i can't haul it around, its more like a desktop that i can move around the house. it takes me an hour to pack the thing up. (this is my toshiba tecra, great computer, i love you baby)

I also use this box for gaming (as its about the only thing windows does well). and yes. I use Vista. its the most stable OS that microsoft ever put out. I don't use anything else microsoft gives me. because their design is crap. I don't plan on using windows 7.


Now, i do a fair amount of work on the Tecra, its a good machine, but when i'm travelling around the contenent pitching my products, I like to have something a little more... ULTRA portable..... and ultra-violent.

So I have my little aspire one. it fits in a purse, but i'm manly so i have a mini laptob bag for it. I run Ubuntu netbook remix - Jaunty jackalope on it. its fantastic. BUT WAIT, what if i do some office work on the Tecra and then run away with the Aspire One and suddenly need it!

DROPBOX to the rescue motherfuckers!

Its CROSS-PLATFORM!!!!! MAC, Linux, AND WINDOWS! Take that computing stupidity!

All i do is go to the website and set it up, download the little background program and log into dropbox ONCE. its now set up.


Wait a minute, Don't want to install anything? GUESS WHAT DICKHEAD! there's an online version!

its hella cool. So how much can you sync? A WHOPPING TWO GIGS. FOR FREE.

yeah. that's right. GIGZ. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH INTERNET PORN THAT IS????

oh yeah, and you can set your torrent client on one computer to automatically open .torrent files inside your dropbox. THEN AUTOMATICALLY OPEN TORRENT FILES AT HOME WHILE YOU'RE AWAY BY SAVING TORRENT FILES TO YOUR DROPBOX.

yeah, i know its AWESOME. basically a billion times better than a USB stick for most applications, and its free. two gigs on USB is usually gonna run you 20 bucks. nope. free.


no file size limit, as long as it fits in your dropbox.

whats that? 2 GIGZ not enough?

well for you film editors, graphic designers, porn kings and e-pimps, you can get 50 or even 100 gigs as long as you're willing to pay nominal fees! considering its seamless, how can you NOT get yourself a dang dropbox!

here's the ling again, you get extra space if you use my referall link. dick

Clusterfuck again. the shocking conclusion...again!

Well, I've officially worked more shifts than anyone else in my company worldwide since january 1st.

when last we spoke of the clusterfuck that is my career, I was just about to have my first weekend since becoming manager.

Well, ever since then, it has only gotten crazier. (hence my lack of posts.


First, I began training two new trainees, one of whom quit after 4 weeks. I never realized how hard it is to find good help. during this period i basically worked every single day, if i wasn't pitching then i was getting stock or training.

Finally, i got things running stable, I trained two more agents and am about to start training the next.

and now i go back to the main city to re-open it.

finally, finally things are looking up





so..... I bought a toy!

a netbook!

and it runs Linux! its fantastic!

yep. i'm a nerd.
