Yes! Today, I finally got a chance to get back at companies that outsource their call centers.
I purchased Quickbooks Pro 2008 for my startup company - Influenza Media with the assumption that it will support multi-currencies just like ALL previous versions. Sadly, I found out that it only supports CDN currency when I got home.
I gave Quickbooks a call and asked about their “upgrade service”. Long story short, they asked for another $200 dollars to “upgrade” my Pro version to a Multicurrency version, which makes the total sum up to ~$400 dollars. That’s fine because they had told me that I could keep the Pro software…which means I can just return it back to Best Buy (where I bought the software) and get my full money back!
What costs $400 dollars - I got for $200 all from “upgrading” my software.
In your face India!

After exams were finished, I quickly scouted out activities that would relax me a bit. I’ve been getting some crazy pain down my lower back and thought I should take it easy for a few days (before my business starts).
My girlfriend just started doing something called Hot Yoga and after some thinking I decided to try it out for a week.
Hot yoga simply involves doing traditional yoga but in a very hot room. Kind of like a sauna but not that intense.
It was definitely tiring and the heat didn’t help either, but that’s the point. The activity helps your body detoxify the toxins that are in your pores while balancing the 3 attributes of your body: strength, flexibility and balance.
It helped in keeping me relaxed but it did little for my back-pain (which it’s suppose to help). In fact, it made the pain worse…
If you want a good workout and are in the Thornhill area - checkout Yoga Tree (http://www.yogatree.ca).
Cheers,

I’m 6 days late, but it’s not like anyone cares anyways!
Do a complete refresh of my website by holding down SHIFT + clicking refresh to see the changes (if you can’t already see them).
Also, I added a new page - http://peterkao.com/backgrounds. It’ll hold all the background images that I draw…yay!
