Okay, the latest update in “The Corporate World Hates Me,” 1&1, my server people, decided that my card declined without even trying payment. Four times. So on Saturday I wrote them a nasty email when they suspended my account and threatened me with the debt collector. I emailed them again this morning. The current situation is that they’re trying payment again in 2-3 days, and they’ve re-instated my account. Who knows if it’ll disappear again though!
Got a new K810i phone. It’s ver nice… and takes decent enough pics. I’ll post some soon. Took some on a night out in Leeds, but in my usual drunken state they’re not much cop. I can’t believe Orange stripped out the Blogger features though!!
The 17th is the monumental day when my 24mb broadband is activated on Be (full company name Be Un Ltd… Geddit?) and my O2 number ports over to my new Orange contract. Already got the new phone – a flashy Sony Ericsson K810i (no pun intended, and none probably understood unless you’ve studied the damn phone!)
I’ve got a new customer service colleague now too. I didn’t interview him, but I wish I had because he’s fuckin annoying and I probably wouldn’t have employed him. I hope he doesn’t last long.
Seems that a couple of my friends are having relationship problems. Hoping they’re okay.
Anyways, that was nice and boring
Okay, as planned I went down to the London Guitar Show and came home with a new trusty axe. It wasn’t an acoustic as planned, but one of those tasty Line6 Variax guitar modellers. It pretty much replicates most types of guitar which is pretty cool. I also got a Line6 PodXT Live to replace my normal PodXT.
Anyway, first time I plugged in the Variax the bottom E didn’t work… Tapped the bridge a few times and the pickup for that string kicked in and seemed okay. Been a bit crackly on a couple of occasions though. Even more worrying is that the PodXT Live quit working all together. So, both are going back to PMT for replacement. On the plus side it means I can swap the guitar for the nicer-looking blue model!
I’ve just got a new credit card. 39% APR or something, which is fucking appalling, but apparently that’s what I need to do to increase my credit scoring, then I might be able to get credit. It’s screwed. I need to get into debt before anybody will trust me. Never had a bad mark on my report – why the fuck should I be penalised?
Went over to Ste’s last night for some Guitar Hero II action, and we had some fun jumping around like twats on the Wii. He’s a mate of a mate and we’ve spoken online for a year or so, but only met last night. Sound guy. Was fun.
Also, like the new domain? I do – it’s all professional and everything.
