POST EXECUTION CONFESSIONAL FOR AGENT MIKE

The fact that anyone with a +1 on their Mole Quiz can still be executed really concerns me. Mike was a player who I thought would be in the Final 3 and now he is gone. This game has taken off into a new direction due to 5 Agents down & 5 Agents to go. If I can survive 2 more executions, then I will be in the Final 3. I will send my guess for the Agent I would like to see in the Final 3 to Host Ryan M in the next Private Confessional. I am glad that I got to work with Mike during the last 5 rounds. You are a good guy & will be missed...TAKE CARE!

PUBLIC CONFESSIONAL FOR CHALLENGE 5.1, 5.2, 5.3

LIAR'S DICE: This kind of game proves that 6 Agents can not be online at the same time to finish the challenge. We are all not in the same time zone, so that is why it is hard to come together. The game started on March 8 2007 @ 9:40 PM and Andy's 1st post was March 9 2007 @ 3:25 PM (18 hours after start). Evin was ousted on March 9 2007 @ 7:52 PM. Ryan was ousted on March 10 2007 @ 7:32 PM (46 hours after start). Round 3 only had 4 bids posted on the Forum by March 10 2007 @ 9:22 PM. Host Ryan M finished this game after the Live Challenge. Fred was the last Agent standing, so he won the Exemption. If we had not finished by the deadline of March 10 @ 11:59 PM, the Exemption would have been lost. It is just my opinion that someone did not want this Exemption to be won by anyone. We should have been able to do better in a shorter peroid of time, so please do not take this personally.

SCAVENGER HUNT: I was picked to assign the items to be photograhed. After sending in my JPEG, I posted on the Forum asking how the other Agents were doing with their list. Mike & Andy were the only 2 Agents to reply. The group successfully gathered 14 of the 20 total items on the list. Their submissions earned $2.10 to be added to the pot. I wonder which 6 items did not get done.

ELIMINATION AUCTION: The reward for this challenge would be revealed (by the Host) to the winner at the end of the game. We each had the chance to add money to the Pot. The tokens had a value of $ .60. This game ended way too quickly. It went something like this:

Mike eliminated Padraig...

Fred eliminated Evin...

Andy eliminated Mike...

Fred eliminated Andy.

Fred was again, the last Agent standing. We only added his token to the Pot. What a waste of 5 tokens. By the way, Evin & I were the first two Agents eliminated. Fred earned +1 Point on the Mole Quiz, which he passed on to Mike. Fred also passed on 2 Mole Points to Evin.

Late for an Important Date? Blame Your PC

By Robin Raskin

Boy, am I ever about to give you a great excuse to miss a few appointments! This year daylight saving time has been re-jiggered on the calendar in order to help save energy, but PC and consumer devices don't all know about the change.

That means you could potentially be an hour off for every appointment you have scheduled from March 11 (the new daylight saving time, 2007) through the first Sunday in April (the traditional, often programmed-into-software calendar date).

While the experts are saying we're not gearing up for anything as major as the old Y2K scare, there are concerns. Microsoft is reminding users not to take calendar appointments as the gospel truth during this new/old daylight saving time period.

Since blaming your PC for being late is going to get old real fast, you're probably going to want to get the jump on remedying the situation. Here are some pointers:

Remember that it's not just your PC that can be affected. It could be your cell phone, PDA, DVD player, TiVo, digital camera—basically anything that has a date setting. See the manufacturer's web site for device-specific advice.

It can also affect the businesses we use, so check and save your bank deposits and payments during this period, especially if there's a fee for missing a deadline.

If you're a PC user, software patches (this will supersede the older DST information programmed into your existing operating system and MS applications) and information are available on Microsoft's daylight saving time web site. Microsoft plans to make the patch available as part of its "automatic update" feature. To turn on Automatic Updates visit the PC's Control Panel. If you don't use the feature, you can download the patch manually from Microsoft. Vista users are spared the problem since Vista is so new that it already knows about the change this year.

Here are some other common sense things you should do:

Put the time and date of your meeting in the body or header of an email. That way you're not totally dependent on the system calendar or Outlook's automatic date notification. Even after DST issues are gone this is a great suggestion, especially for bicoastal meetings that are always a problem for Outlook.

Send a verification of the meeting the day before—always a good idea, too.

If you synchronize devices like your cell phone's calendar with your PC, check the devices before and after you synchronize them so you can see whether one device has overridden another and inadvertently messed things up.

You might want to keep a printout of calendars during the weeks of this little interlude, especially if you do a lot of synchronizing where data may get overwritten.

As for your other gadgets see the following sites:

BlackBerry
IBM
HP
Palm
Apple (to upgrade the OS)

You can help by getting on your cell phone carrier's case to get some software updates out. They seem to be the missing link.
