Drupal and Clean URL's using Godaddy

There are a ton of sites regarding this issue, I spent lots of hours figuring this one out. Every one of those sites forgot to tell you uploading the .HTACCESS file using your FTP client does not work (it did not work for me). I would spend days waiting for the server to update whatever it had to update and nothing happened, the CLEAN URL option remained grayed out no matter what I did.

Then I gave Godaddy's web file manager a chance and IT WORKED, it is like FTP but inside a browser, select the .HTACCESS file and update it with the new code. In my case the .HTACCESS file was empty despite uploading it at least a thousand times with a thousand variations using my FTP client.

How the stimulus program works - Viral joke

HOW THE STIMULUS PROGRAM WORKS

A simple explanation!

It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.

The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.

The Butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.

The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.

Iphone and things we can't do without it

Many of us can't live without an iphone, we can try, but it will be very hard to see our lives without one.

For my dad, it isn't about seeing, it is about listening his favorite radio news station from Colombia: RCN Cadena Basica.

Ticketmaster and its unregulated pricing scheme

I am not really sure who let Ticketmaster overcharge music/sports/etc fans for the events it promotes.

On April 24th, I ordered tickets to see THE ORB in Anaheim. I was actually surprised the tickets were $17.50 each, that was a steal, so I ordered the tickets without hesitation.

During checkout the steal turned out to be a reverse one. Ticketmaster was charging $13.30 in convenience fees bringing the total to $30.80. This was almost double the ticket's face value. I really, really wanted to see this show so I bent over to Ticketmaster and completed the order.

While waiting impatiently for this show on June 10th, I was notified the show was canceled and a refund was already in place. What surprised me was that a $3.80 fee they charged was non-refundable.

The IMAX Deception

Have you wandered around the movie theaters lately?

My wife and I watched Star Trek at the Arlington in Santa Barbara with Jan, our 17 m/o boy. As many parents know (we didn’t), this was very stressful at best, my wife walked out with our little chat-box around the time Vulcan was black holed into oblivion and Spock rescued his family, sort of.

After this experience I had no choice but to drive to Oxnard and have grandma spend quality time with Jan while we go to the movies.
