As some of you might be aware, a few months ago I received a free iPod shuffle from the Gratis network. As i’m sure most of you know, apple just released a new iPod, the iPod Nano. I checked http://freeipodnanos.com yesterday right after I heard about the announcement and it was registered but didn’t have anything on thier site yet. This morning I woke up and checked it and in less than 24 hours the Gratis network was giving away free iPod Nano’s!
So naturally the first thing I did was sign up for it. Upon lookin for a referral link online to help someone else out, I could not find any referral links for it yet! I concluded that no one must know about this yet so I went to digg and posted an article. Now, I know I am probably going to get some flaming for posting my referral link on there, but I think that as the first person to notice this and post it out there for people I should be just fine posting that. Oh well, I will take the bad and the good as thats how the internet goes. BTW, after it being posted for about 2 minutes I already had someone chewing me out, the story isn’t ven popular yet and people are flaming me about it! Geez!
Oh by the way … heres my referral link :-P

(1)We live in an old house in Braintree, MA just outside Boston. Due to the fact the house is old, its not perfect. Somehow a bat has found or is finding its way into our house. This morning was the third time I have encountered ‘the bat’ and by far the worst.
It’s 5:00am and for some reason my eyes are starting to open a full 30 minutes ahead of schedule. I look over at the clock, realize its way to early and start to go back to sleep. Right around this time I realize that my back itches and figure it would not require to much effort to scratch it so I reach back to scratch my back and encounter a very very foreign object on my back and the way it felt reminded me of those beetle things from The Mummy, as well as its sequels, and the noises it made, obviously being startled by me disturbing it, also reminded me of them. A very scary sounding clicking, of course it could have just been his wings flapping against my back trying to get away, or I could have just been very tired and heard it a little differently than it actually sounded.
Well, needless to say, this scared the living shit out of me and I shouted at the top of my lungs a very obscene phrase I wont repeat on the blog and woke up everyone in the house. This is all a testament to my natural reflexes because before I even knew what it was that was on my back I had put on pants and was on my way out the room still shouting just in case anyone in the house was still sleeping.
So yes I am very very pissed off at my current living situation right now. In other semi-related news, one of my friends from back in Phoenix informed of a company that was currently hiring for managed hosting sysadmins paying a very handsome salary and for schooling. It really seems a bit to good to be true, I would have to move back to Phoenix though. This carries with it some good things and some bad things, all the things I am missing I will have back, but I will also have all the things I left in Phoenix that I didn’t want. Not really sure how thats going to turn out but I will be sure to let you all know if and when anything becomes final.
So anyone have any tricks for getting rid of bats? :-P
