Found new stuff

by allberry2001, posted in Businesses, Main

So this is more or less so I remember what I have testing for the the last week or so , but it might help someone from wasting time.

You should know what a blog is by now and mine has been bouncing from hosting provider to hosting provider as I test its speed and options. During all of this I was prompted to create a WordPress.com account for some of the plugins. Now they keep stats and inform you when and if the site is up and running stuff like that, what I found out about ( or just realized ) is the site itself can be hosted on the WP server so no matter who is doing the hosting I can just point it at the WordPress account and I don’t have to keep rebuilding it.

I tried just adding the domain service where you can just point a domain name at it ( $99. bucks) and that just sucked. All it did was add more plugins to confuse the server. I had to back up the blog and remove it from all servers and hosting sites for a day or two, then recreate it on the WP server. Then add the domain address and it worked, the files are on WP servers and its only $35 a year. ( not sure anyone is going to understand this but I learned crap OK )

Each hosting provider add plugins to a WP site , deals they make with different company’s. So doing a site like this can be way different depending on who you use. With this now all the sites and pugins are the same so it’s easy.

I guess I should update

Well since I last posted I have been to Rome and back with my wife,daughter and sister in law. Well that was interesting… never again.

First time hosting on Wordpess servers

This might be an option that works out well. No hosting provider needed just point the domain and go. I like that the app fits on any device and I can make updates on almost anything..

Ford Recall for Air Bags

by allberry2001, posted in Businesses, Main

So about a year ago (July 2015 ) I got a letter from Ford letting me know the air bags need to be replaced. I’m thinking everyone would be getting the replacement parts all at once so I waited to call for a appointment.

I called today and found out FORD has not even got the parts yet…almost a year later. These are the air bags that shoot shrapnel in your face and I hear of at least one death a month. Or the ones that just don’t deploy.

How can they or any car company get away with this….killing your customers is better for your bottom line ? I see them coming out with millions of cars every year. They can’t put some of those parts in the older cars that need them ?

When I called FORD customer service they said there was NOTHING they could do the parts would be in next month and then you will get a LETTER telling you to call for a appointment and wait in line like everyone else. When I asked for a loaner till the car is fixed they said that is not policy and couldn’t be done  ( my thought was thank you for buying a FORD now screw off and die ).

Contacted FORD on Twitter and I will post the conversation here…

@FordService @Ford Got a safety recall a year ago and my local dealer says they don’t have the parts…are you trying to get people hurt ?

@evdaycomputer Safety is our top priority. Which recall are you referring to? I’ll take a look at things on this end. ^JW

@FordService the air bags, not so worried that you will let me drive the car for a year

@evdaycomputer Ford is working with its suppliers to expedite parts as quickly as possible. What’s the model year of your Mustang? ^JW

@FordService base model 2008, a year is ridiculous you should send me a loaner till you get your “parts” together

@evdaycomputer Between now & 3rd Quarter 2016, you’ll receive a letter advising when a replacement part is available for your vehicle. ^JW

@FordService how many people have died or been injured waiting for Ford to get “parts”

@evdaycomputer We take the safety of our customers very seriously, & we’ll continue to work with NHTSA to prioritize the replacement of …

@evdaycomputer air bag inflators to ensure they are replaced as quickly as possible, addressing the highest risks first. ^JW

I never did get a response about how many people have to die …………………………………….
