MSN Messenger Blocks MP3s

I tried to send a friend of mine a song I made in MP3 format, MSN Messenger Version 7.0.777 blocked it. I had him try to send me a file, same thing. So as anyone might think, I renamed the file to song.jpg and it sent just fine. I told my friend to rename the file back to .MP3 and it played no problem.

If Microsoft thought they had us, they were wrong.
Also, another friend pointed out he had a "Patch" to fix the issue, I didn't install it, but I'm sure it works.

Note to Microsoft
,
Some people use the MP3 format for legitimate reasons, whether it be for music, podcasts, etc.
I'm not some 15yr old kid swapping music with my friends after I get home from school, I'm a person that creates audio and use the MP3 compression format to make my files smaller.

I did happen to notice that WMA (Windows Media Audio) send without a problem! Hmmm is this a ploy to get us all to use your audio compression format? I do agree that WMA files do sound better than MP3s but MP3s are far more supported.

As for your current "PLAYS FOR SURE" AD Campaign, you can also tag on "SENDS FOR SURE".

I don't plan to stop using MSN Messenger, but I do think that was a dumb move to block MP3 files.

I've gone PRO!

A very kinda friend of mine named Adam just up and decided to kick me a Flickr Pro account. Now, I can't post 2gigs of photos a month and have unlimited photo sets! Whoo Hoo.

Now my current goal is to get a Digital SLR Camera so I can take more photos at higher resolution.
I'm looking to either get either a Canon Digital Rebel XT or Nikon D70

The XT is 8 Megapixels and the D70 is 6.1 Megapixels, The problem I'm having is the weight of the camera. The D70 has that nice solid weight were as the XT is light and plasticy. If I could have the weight of the D70 with the price and megapixels of the Canon, I'd be set.

Now I'm trying to raise money for a new camera. Oh how many night I fall asleep thinkging of having a Digital SLR..... *Sigh*

Wild Stallion - Energy Drink

If it's one thing about me that you may or may not know, is that I love to try new and interesting food products at least once.

While working I took my lunch break and headed over to Diamond Shamrock Gas Station to get something to drink. I went and picked out Mountain Dew, as usual, and then walked around and noticed a machine with a Mountain Dew Slurpee.

At this time I was indecisive and didn't know what to get, then I looked over and noticed a HUGE new fountain drink machine. This machine had Pepsi with Vanilla,Cherry,Lime and all sorts of other drinks. Something new caught my eye that I'd never seen before, an energy drink on the fountain dispenser?

The name struck me funny "Wild Stallion - Engergy Drink", (The perfect drink for Bill & Ted eh?). Anyhow I bought a 32oz drink and am drinking it as I type this.



At first, when I tasted the drink, I was like, Uhhhh... After drinking it for a few minutes it isn't that bad, to me at least. I'll make another post later letting you know how well the product works, stay tuned.

Be on the lookout for The "Wild Stallion" Energy Drink near you!



See any resemblance?

I've always thought these two looked alike, but in comparison, they were totaly different. I'm not trying to dis-credit Reagan, I'm simply pointing out a resemblance to someone else. This is a game I like to play alot. ;)

How sad! It's kinda weird that I took a picture of it while still in perfect condition.
