Totally, bar none, take notes on this one: MAKE THE OFFICER FEEL SAFE!!
I have been let off on several trivial tickets for this behavior. Especially in high risk areas like big cities or dark areas, cops love it. I mean, like I've been thanked before for doing things to help them know it's safe to approach me.
Many thanks to Jack for the link. I've learned alot of this the hard way, and it's good to have it documented somewhere so others don't have to.
Lots of stuff at work sucked today, as usual I can't discuss most of the information. 🙁
Anyone remember that levis commercial in a supermarket where the bagger was dreaming of being a record company exec, and the record company exec was dreaming of being a grocery bagger?
IRS (paraphrased): "Oh ya, by the way, about that installment agreement for income taxes? What happened to filing last year? You have until June 6th to file a 2000 return. Until then forget it."
Ugh, it'll be real fun getting W2's from a company that no longer exists, within 30 days.
This is what I was greeted with when I got home from being at work for like 12 hours. What a day. I'm going to bed. At least greeted me with delicious mexican food. That made everything worth while.
Annnnyyyywayyy… I created a mirror of my telco site on my equally as good connected (if not better), but much faster machines at my apartment. I think I'm going to put a freeze on improvements in the data mining on my old site and just do the cool stuff here. Hell, I think I'll just do a redirect to here.

This works a hell of alot faster because not only the webserver is faster, but the database is on a seperate server and it is faster too. Information on every prefix owned by a verizon company (all 22,000 + ) only takes 45 seconds on this server, as opposed to my webserver on the main site, which takes about 3-4 minutes at best.
