What I’m doing now:
Listening to: Music: whatever’s on the Zune
Netcasts: Nothing till TWiT resumes.
Book: Marque and Reprisal Audiobook
Game: Lego Batman on the 360
Website: nothing new to report.
I had hoped that this post was to be published sometime this morning commenting about the perils of the unknowledgeable entering the domain of the technocrat, relating to an incident that occurred on the TWiT chatroom where a particular individual was requesting information on how to commit an illegal act.
However, I felt that a new post would be more prevalent as when I tried to come online, to regale in the festivities of the season, only to discover that the ever helpful Telstra decided that Christmas Eve was the perfect time to perform an overdue connection speed update that was supposed to have been performed last Friday. But what’s more is that they didn’t tell us that they were going to do it.
The only reason that I knew that something was amiss was that I was online when they started the update, and discovered quite quickly thanks to automated error messages, that Telstra’s Bigpond service was unable to communicate to the modem.
Thankfully I was the first one awake tonight, thanks to an erratic mother waking me to respond to my brother who had apparently spent the entire night throwing up, though why it took them until 8am the following morning to inform me of that I have no idea. Thanks to that, I was able to navigate through the miles of automated BS to discover that this was in fact, not a problem, but a gift from Telstra, to make up for the year and a half of lacklustre and sub standard performance.
So, er thanks Telstra even when you try and be good, you still fail.
I might still post that other blog later on, but that is a post for another day.
Merry Christmas all, I’m hoping that I’m going to start posting more often. So stay tuned.
