I was given the mini pub as a gift. The third time i tried to hook up a Heineken mini keg, the attachment broke. Ok. It happens. It’s plastic after all.

Phone call to support sounded like a bad comedy show. I won’t run through the entire skit (although at one point i burst out in a belly laugh, it got so silly). Basic jist is that, while they are happy to sell the minipub and have it shipped to Canada – they won’t ship any replacement parts to Canada.

What?

Yep. It’s $3.00 in postage to ship the piece i need. And I’ll pay for it. But they don’t seem to have the organizational good sense to buy a bloody stamp and put an address on a package.

Bottom line: The product breaks. Support is silly. Stay away.

I am presently seeing if limiting the feed will stop a series of sites from ‘re-publishing’ (a nice way of putting it) my content as their own without link backs or credit (I’m only finding them as they are also hotlinking my imagery directly from my server thus making me pay for the bandwidth).

Hopefully this will ‘prompt’ these people to move on someplace else at which point the full feed will be back (no doubt to be stolen again).
