Poor old Rooster! His TimeWarner cable has gone out and they can't get to him to fix it until Wednesday. No backups, no access' unless he goes to Starbucks.

So, try not to screw anything up!

He can't get email or PMs so don't bother.

He's fine, has books and homework and kids, lots of stuffs to keep busy.

Happy New Year!

The cat's away, mice! We can use homophones with out fear of reprisal!

oh yeah, i forgot: fuck time warner cable.

Foggy · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:59 am

For some reason I'm back online for now. They're still scheduled to send a tech by 11 a.m.

I haven't had Time-Warner for 6 months yet. This will be at least the seventh time they've had to send a tech to my house to get us back online. :madz2:

That gets said around our house at least once a day. And I got to battle with a tech at my Mom's last Friday.

Our experience with them has actually been pretty good. They provide our internet, tv, and phone, and problems are very rare.

On one occasion when we needed a service call, a lovely young woman came over. She was working at my desk and we chatted a bit -- she was new at the job and new to the area and had some interesting tales to tell -- when she suddenly she sat up ramrod straight and averted her gaze. Looking out the window, she complimented me on the view. Then she resumed her work.

It wasn't until after she left that I noticed, sitting on the desk by the cable modem, a gag birthday gift from a pharmacist friend -- a few M&Ms in a large Viagra bottle.

Well, she's probably enjoyed telling that story a few times!

argh. i'm offline again. dammit. this has gotta stop.

Foggy · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 12:59 pm

I'm not getting any service and my whole house is still offline, but I'm bothering the hell out of the bastids. Wifehorn says I'm doing a really good job of being an annoying pain in the ass customer, so I got that goin' for me.

Took a few minutes to become a Starbucks Internet Refugee, and got myself a mocha grande latte cappuccino with strawberry syrup, M&Ms, and raisins. Or something.

They're saying I might be back online tomorrow, maybe.

Time-Warner Cable sucks so much. I haven't been a customer for 6 months yet and this will be the 7th time they've had to send a tech out to fix my damn Internet. :madz2:

Later on!

Ohhh, what did they write on your cup? Some anti-GOP message about "coming together"?

Umm, is there a reason not to switch internet service providers, or are you feeling particularly masochistic in 2013?

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.

After 72 hours, 2 missed appts. and 32 phone calls, I found someone who knew what he was doing.
