- As I said yesterday, CREDO Mobile has a number of petitions that they sent to my inbox.
- I was going to go through them today, but I wasn't feeling up to the task.
- It's not that I'm not feeling well, it's just that I've been going through way too much email in a short period of time and the thought of processing more mail is a bit daunting.
- </p>
- <p>
- My mother insisted that I get an eye exam appointment scheduled, due to the quickly-approaching end date on my insurance coverage.
- I didn't want to, but I suppose she isn't wrong.
- My eyes haven't been the same since my bout of iritis several years ago.
- I have needed glasses, but haven't actually gone and gotten the glasses or even a prescription for them.
- I guess that changes now.
- I set up the appointment, but I didn't even think to bring my insurance card, as I thought I would need that only at the time of the actual appointment.
- Not having it with me set the schedule back a bit; I was unable to set up an appointment for tomorrow.
- I was instructed to bring my insurance card by tomorrow, and the appointment is on Monday.
- </p>
- <p>
- I did some research, and it is perfectly legal to write on money <a href="http://www.nevblog.com/is-it-illegal-to-write-on-money/">so long as the intent is not to render it unfit for use</a>.
- So while I was out, I also picked up one of those business stamps typically used to stamp addresses, the ones with all the little rubber letters that can be arranged to spell whatever you like.
- Though I'm embarrassed to admit it, in my haste, I spelled out "http://y.st/".
- The embarrassing part is that if you look closely, you see that the wrong protocol is used; it should read "https://y.st/".
- Apparently, my mind still registers <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> as the default protocol, not <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure">HTTPS</abbr>.
- I will continue to work on that, but I was too late to notice to save the first several bills.
- The new ones will be stamped correctly though.
- The bad protocol will still lead people to the right place due to the <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> redirect though, and most people will probably ignore the <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr> anyway.
- Even most of the people that do try to take a look will not make it due to the scary warning browsers give for self-signed certificates.
- In reality, getting the stamp is an exercise in futility, but it will allow me to know if I ever see the same bill twice.
- </p>
- <p>
- My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
