Anatiferous blog | Move every zig.

Howdy! This is my (William Reading's) webpage. At the moment, I only have this blog script and my gallery up, but I hope to get more stuff on this page at some point, or so I thought when I created this site years ago. Updates and shiny new copy to eventually go here. If you'd like to contact me to point out that I've done something to break XHTML/CSS standards or heaven forbid--look at my Vita--drop me a line at my e-mail address bill +spam @ [ELEPHANT] aggienerds.org. Simply remove "+spam", the spaces and the pachyderm along with its brackets and that address will reach me. I'm also available on Jabber/GChat/AIM/MSN with the same address above.

I’ve put some Quicktime VR videos with panoramas from my recent vacation online, so here they are:

Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago
Hotel Hesperia, Isla Margarita, Venezuela
Playa El Agua, Isla Margarita, Venezuela

Because the PayPal Cash Advance trick no longer works, I’ve been looking for ways to quickly pull money from PayPal without having to worry about it being eaten up in fees.

For people in College Station that want to use an ATM machine (though I wouldn’t forget about getting cashback from a debit transaction at a grocery store), there’s always the Aggieland Credit Union, which apparently only charges one dollar to use their ATM with a foreign card. Yes, it’s still $2, but it’s better than paying more fees if you need the money right then.

Update: Apparently the issuer of the card, JPMorgan Chase, permits ATM use for free. Paypal still charges the $1, but there’s no fee from the ATM itself to deal with.

Someone wanted me to put up a list of items that would make good presents for me. So without further comment, here’s my amazon wish list:

(Yes, the buttons suck. I’m going to make them into properly transparent images when I get a chance.)
