Great idea of the day for anyone who works for a courier company (UPS/Fedex/etc):

Allow users to set up accounts on your site. Allow users to enter tracking numbers for packages they are interested in. Generate per-user RSS feeds for those packages.

Just when I thought Verizon had grudgingly agreed to take my money in return for providing me with DSL service, they screw up again.

The Self-Install Kit, which is supposed to contain all that I might need to set up DSL on my end that arrived today contained:
- One (1) software CD.
- Five (5) line filters
- Various pieces of documentation

I'd *love* to know how they expect me to get DSL going...WITHOUT A DSL MODEM!
