Klezident Evil

I tried uploading some videos tonight to YouTube since I've never done it before, and I figured it was time, since I got some sweet shots of Klezident Evil, my friend Nina's klezmer cover band, playing Katamari Damacy and Tetris theme songs.

Here we go, let's see if this works:

xbox wireless

Do any of you guys have the xbox wireless adapter? (mn-740)

I bought one off the net and the jackhole who I bought it from didn't send the config disk. And of course, it won't work without it. I can't just go get one from a store because the thing isn't really for sale anymore now that MS is all about the 360.

So all I need is the damn config disk for like 10 minutes. If one of you guys has it, please let me know, and I'll come pick it up from you, or pay for shipping, or whatever, and I'll give it back immediately.

Why the HELL would you make an item that needs a proprietary config disk instead of a web interface? It boggles the MIND. Anyway, please help.

idea for ebay

After having sold some stuff of mine on Ebay lately, I've got an idea for them.

There should be an option called "guaranteed payment", where Ebay only lets you bid on an item if you have the amount of your bid available in your PayPal account.

And once you win the auction, that amount is immediately and automatically deducted from your account and sent to the seller.*

And sellers should have the option of making their auctions "guaranteed payment only", excluding the howling, braying, sea of savages who always make my life miserable every time I auction something. I'm currently on week three of waiting for one of the buyers to pay, who keeps sending emails like "I'll send paypal tomorrow", or "Paypal is acting weird, I'm going to send you a money order".

It's not that goddamn hard. I'd like Ebay to take the option of non-payment out of their hands.

* Yes, I realize there'd be issues like you moving the money out of the account before the auction ends. Except I've got that figured out too. That money gets earmarked for the auction and you're not ALLOWED to spend it, unless you get outbid. I should be a common sense consultant.
