Craigslist

Posted by

I recently discovered the awesomeness that is craigslist. If you haven’t heard of it, basically it’s a classified ad system on the internet. It’s kinda like eBay, but specific to your area. I like it a lot better because of this!

Also, it doesn’t take part of your money like eBay does. I guess it’s run off of the ads on the site (which I don’t see cause of adblock – I’ll explain that later). And, you don’t need to create an account to post something for sale – just fill out an easy form and you’re on your way!

I already put one thing up for sale – 2 sticks of 512mb laptop RAM that I replaced with higher-capacity RAM as soon as I got my laptop. The great thing is, anyone can e-mail you, even a 5-year-old. Lucky me, I think I got the 5-year-old. Here is my actual first e-mail that I received:

“I WANT THEM DO U NEED ANY THING MAYBE A TRADE BUT IF NOT I WILL PAY OK [phone# removed]”

That’s it. That’s the whole e-mail. Just great. I sure hope someone else makes an offer. I don’t want to negotiate with a little kid.

As far as the blog goes, I don’t know how often I’ll make a post. I want to try to post one thing per day but I don’t know if I can find that much stuff to post. When my job starts this summer, maybe there will be more exciting things going on that I can post about. Maybe someone will actually come and read this. That would be pretty cool.

10 PRINT “HELLO WORLD”

Not that I really like BASIC, but it just came to mind. This is my first text post. I already posted a couple cool quotes, so I guess that’s an unusual way to start a blog. I like the idea of Tumblr… Dunno if I’ll keep up this blog but I thought I’d give it a try.

Sorry for the mess! I recently got hacked and lost my previous theme, so I'm working on reconstructing that. In the meantime, this theme is messy/broken but at least you can read my posts. Sorry!!


Hi, I'm Richard Carter! I use this blog to document particularly difficult-to-solve computer problems. My posts are written for clarity and keywords for search engines to pick up on, so that the next person that runs into the same problem will easily find my solution here and have an easier time than I had! I'm forging a path through the brush, so to speak. So if you came here by search engine, I guess it worked! Enjoy the solution to your problem.
