Things have been iffy the last few days.
Got my networking adapter hooked up, and so far I've not been able to play any games because there were A: No one on B: not enough space on my memory card to download the patches C: The server was down. Atleast tonight I was able to get on for a bit and kick some ass. This one guy, of the 5 or 6 races I went against him, I took him out of the race all but one time. The remaining time, I caused him to get by oncoming traffic. He was getting so upset he was hitting start to begin the race as soon as soon as I got back into the room from the last one. I also found out, that EA's servers are flakey. Got disconnected twice, plus a couple times it also threw errors when it was updating my record.
Yesterday, got a message from Google, saying they're suspending the adsense account because they claimed that there was invalid clicks. Try to log in to adsense account manager, and I'm blocked. Go on over to the google group for adsense, and apparently a bunch of people recently have had the same thing happened. Email from google saying that the account was being disabled due there were invalid clicks (but no info on when or anything, very generic) and no response after it is appealed nor was there a warning before hand. One person did say they got a response, when they had asked for info on what happened, and Google shot back a message saying they would not divulge any information as it is confidential information. I've yet to hear back from Google myself. Shitty thing is that if they do that, you're permanently black listed, unless they review your appeal and decide they closed it in error.
Today, rottenshit had kernel panic 3 times. Trying to transfer things from my one hard drive so I can reformat it. OSX does not like NTFS. I tried then doing it on the only windows machine I have going at the time, but the drive overheated on it part way through, so that crashed and wouldnt reboot. Hopefully can back it up soon so I can reformat it.
