susandennisToday has been much better at work. I've gotten a lot done and done a lot. I'm still fighting the domain name battle on two different fronts. My company owns 13 domain names. One is being held hostage at Verisign. 11 are being held hostage at register.com and one is fine and fixed and happily residing at DirectNIC. At the rate I'm going, I'll be lucky if they all get fixed in my lifetime.
So last night I decided to move my webcams. My Mom get such a kick out of watching them, I thought I'd give her a different view. But, the cords are too short to do much. So this morning I decided to order longer cords. I did but the place I ordered them from soon sent me an email saying they had cancelled my order because they don't accept Discover cards. Now that's great marketing... They could have mentioned that on their website... OR they could have asked me for a different card... OR OR OR. Instead, I went looking for a new place to buy them.
In further shopping, I looked at hubs as an alternative and realized I have one at home not being used at all. So why don't I just use that? And, heck, it will accommmodate 4 different USB devices so why not add a camera? Off to overstock.com - one of my favorite haunts and there was a perfect addition at a perfect price and I ordered it.
So... tonight I'll hook the two I have now up to the hub... and probably find out the hub won't get it for these devices and then have to order the longer cords anyway. Oh well.
