I went to a Sun technology seminar thingy yesterday but can&#8217;t tell<br \/>\nyou about it &#8216;cos of the NDA I signed. All I can say is that the Sun engineers<br \/>\nhave a mexican food fixation.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, and why do freebie t-shirts only come in extra large when the majority<br \/>\nof the population are in the range Small to Large? I had to give wawy the<br \/>\nfreebie Sun t-shirt as I&#8217;m in the small size category and hence it would<br \/>\nbe useless to me other than if I wanted it as a tent.<\/p>\n<p>My other gripe is due to a letter I got from my morgage lender telling me<br \/>\nof their unilateral change to the conditions of my house insurance. The amended<br \/>\nterms rule out any loss due to any chemical or biological contamination by<br \/>\nanyone who did it deliberately or the government destroying things incase<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re contaminated. OK.. so it&#8217;s more weazel words to make sure that they<br \/>\nnever have to pay out, I can understand that. (Insurance is there for the<br \/>\ninsurance company to make money, not for them to actually pay out for a loss.)<br \/>\nWhat amused me, however, was a sentence which was a quick summary of the<br \/>\nnew rules which had appended a phrase stating that, of course, none of these<br \/>\nthings were actually covered before anyway. Erm.. so, they&#8217;re amending the<br \/>\nrules to exclude something which was already excluded&#8230; so why did they<br \/>\nneed the extra wording? Erm.. looks like someone&#8217;s trying to bullsh*t out<br \/>\nof responsibility, just incase.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as it&#8217;s a Friday, I might as well detail what I think my weekend plans<br \/>\nare going to be. Saturday includes getting a hair cut, going shopping and<br \/>\nhopefully getting to see the Harry Potter film. Sunday involves getting the<br \/>\ncar washed. This is the total degree of planning so far.<\/p>\n<p>If life gets at all interesting I&#8217;ll remember to tell you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s see..
