I know I’ve posted about my ADSL problems in the past. Although I haven’t mentioned them since then, they have been lurking all the time and frequently re-appear, meaning the Internet is either painfully slow or unusable for days, even … Continue reading
I’ve been pulling late nights at work on and off for around 4 or 5 days. Last night was one such night. Upgrades and updates dragged into the night with me waiting on standby to go in and do my … Continue reading
Flush from the success of Windows is shit and O2 are shit, I thought I should tell you Belkin are shit. My dad bought a Linksys WAG54g wireless ADSL modem and router like mine, so my mother can use the … Continue reading
I discovered today that O2 can’t tell their arse from their elbow. It took their struggling billing department monkey 30 minutes to conclude that he couldn’t find out what my call tariff costs are. What? The fucking billing department don’t … Continue reading
Fucking hell. So as people might know (hell, I’ve complained about it enough), my main workstation broke down. Removed all of the components from the board and no difference. So it was either the CPU or the motherboard itself. I … Continue reading
