It’s something I would never get from anywhere. Menus is full of surprise after make the reserve. I have no idea what they would have until just few days before I make the reserve.

Issues with Visual Smoke Alarm & Apartment

As you may aware there are several states have law required for Deaf who rent apartment, house, etc., are require to provide visual smoke alarm. I hope that there are more states are universal on required like one.

However, I would like to share my brief experience that I live in the apartment. Before my roommate and I move in, we request to be sure they have the visual smoke alarm install. So, they did install 4 detectors with green LED light: 2 in bedrooms, one in living room and one in hall room. I was glad that system works out well for us.

THE INCIDENT
Until few months ago, there was an incident on next unit building; there was fire or accident that turn the alert and spread to other building to aware of warning. It was a late morning as we both still up. At first, we weren’t aware of the alert. Thank to my best friend, who able to hear the detector turn pretty loud as I barely can hear it. My roommate doesn’t hear anything at all. For quite time, the alert has finally stopped. Nothing serious has happen; there was just a minor incident. We’re glad that doesn’t damage well.

What did you mean my videophone number isn’t real?

Well, after read the article that someone sue eBay because she cannot set her account to sell her stuff because her videophone number make that company think it’s fraud and suggest her to get a hearing person to call for her. It is! Duh!

I admit I thought of something funny going on. Even I tried use my videophone number on one of insurance company which I couldn’t recall that name. I was applying to find out the quote. The error appears that they couldn’t recognition on area code. So, I had to use my mobile phone number, if even they tried call me. I’m helpless.

Possible block VideoPhone during inflight

To have videophone appliance on laptop like Z4 or P3 in airplane with Wi-Fi, it matches in heaven. We could call anywhere while in thousand feet up in sky. I have done it once a while. It was great.

However until someone mentions that there is new policy from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Wi-Fi issues over the communications thing. Here is the last paragraph of “WiFi in the Sky” from the fact sheet:

While passengers are welcome to access the web, U.S. airlines offering WiFi service block the use of inflight calling using Skype or similar applications. This is not an FAA restriction; they are simply responding to the overwhelming majority of their customers, who prefer silent communications to the public nature of Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) calls.

Something funny about “PurpleDead”


Thought I want to tell something when I receive news about Purple being bust by Federal. It seem that unknown author who spread the news on that weblog called “PurpleDead“. That person sound like being glad about it. Probably, he or she is such an angry person as I think of. Anyway, I look up on something that I feel something is funny going on.

  1. Name of Weblog is “PurpleDead”, I think that’s immature and pointless.
  2. That weblog have only one and probably will never again.
  3. Their profile doesn’t reveal, probably work for Sorenson, hard-cord fan of SVRS, etc.
  4. The source given by Biz.Yahoo have no actual reference or original on whom report. (okay, maybe I don’t know that part)
  5. The only true I know about Purple, they’re not bankrupt. Not yet, because there is no confirm at moment.

Don’t be jumpy until we have the actual fact information about Purple. Don’t be sorry for them, just do whatever you like their service or not. I only like them because I was able to use on my MacBook to use VRS with iChat.
