The internet has failed me

My pressure washer is a few years old and I'm having some issues getting it to turn over. So, I was looking for instructions for an ic2 honda engine on a vr2522 pressure washer and could not find them. I first tried google to no avail. I found folks selling the same pw I own but no instructions for it. Strange right? So I went to the manucaturer's website and they are using a different engine with that model pw now. I went to honda's website and they don't list the engine. They don't even have a search function so I could look up the model. What kind of website doesn't let you search it for content? I'm thuroughly annoyed with honda now.

This has never happened to me before. I've always been able to find absolutely everything I need online. I buy almost everything online: all of my electronics, books, music, you name it. I know I look up online something everyday and always find an answer. It may take hours but I always find what I'm looking for. Maybe ic2 isn't the actual engine number. It must be a user error right?

I think I may try the new MS search engine "bing". I noticed it somehow installed itself on my toolbar without me knowing. I'm sure I must have downloaded something and inadverntently accepted the toolbar download too. Funny thing was I had my toolbar locked at the time and it didn't seem to make a difference. Companies are so tricky when it comes to installing unrequested software. You really have to pay attention or things you didn't even want will find you online.

So, I was listening to Pacifica Radio, the 1st public radio station in the U.S., and I heard something kind of interesting. I was half listening while driving but the news reporter attributed an opinion to a blog citing. Blogs are actually making the news. Guess one needs to be very careful these about loose words.

I give up!

It doesn't appear that one can RSS a Sharepoint Blog. It will allow you to do it of course; it just doesn't work. You'll get the first blog but then it wont update. What's the use of a RSS that doesn't update? You tell me.

I had to give up. I'm sure with slightly more time, energy, or less assigments due in MBA 8125 I could have figured it out. But, things being as they are, I'm only on my second assignment for the week. I still have four more assignments to complete before Tuesday... So, here I am on Blogger. Don't worry though, I fully intend to copy my other blogs over from sharepoint. You won't miss a moment of my exciting technology filled life.

Something new on the technology front for me, I registered my GSU email account as a google account. Had no idea you could do that. Surprise, surprise, what will google think of next... first satellite pictures of my house on the internet, now using my own email address with google services. It really was a break through. Coming from someone with, let me count them, 8 email address, I really didn't want to have to sign up for another just to use google for school. I'm sure I could have used either of my two Google emails I already have, but I really didn't want to share those user names... a little less than professional.

Anyway, I've been doing homework for the last 8.5 hours now and I'm ready to call it a day. Gonna wrap this up. If you don't have time to read this I won't take it personal. I'm sure you're working on your assignments too. Enjoy the weekend!
