Uniserve Sucksssss

Whew, about time I post a new blog entry eh? I was offline for a few weeks....I got into a fight with my ISP ---and LOST!! lol

By the way, for those of you in Western Canada, UNISERVE SUCKSSSSSSSS!! I've been with them since last summer. First of all, I was suppose to have my adsl service "within a week to 10 days", yeahhh riiiight...two months later they finally get around to hooking it all up and sending the modem!! And no, it wasn't because of the phone company strike; they had done their part before they went on strike. So finally i have adsl, awesome right?? NOOOO!! Ever since, I have been plagued with a connection that ebbs and flows and almost always fails everyday. Infact, much of the time, my connection is as it is now, cutting me off every minute or two :O My friends on MSN messenger keep telling me that they're getting dizzy watching me pop on and offline all day. This is nuts!! So they've done these line tests(monthssss ago), found out I'm farther from the hub than they first thought, so then I had to buy a new, more powerful modem...did it, still have the same problem!! Now finallyyyyy, after all these months they have asked the telephone company tocheck the line all the way to my home. The telephone company told them that had to change the ports and do something with the jumpers (don't ask me, I haven't the foggiest idea wtf they are talking about, lol). Now that's been done, and the SAME THING is still happening!! WTF???!!!!????

While all this is happening, I STILL have to be online, I mean, alot of my work is done online, a couple of my business ventures are completely online, so there's no choice in the matter. So, the times when my adsl went down completely (almost everyday for hours at a time), I would have to use their dialup service. Can you believe, those FUCKERS went and chargeddddd me for using the dialup service, when the only reason I had to use it was because their adsl wasn't working??!! I was getting bills for the monthly amount for my adsl connection, andddddddd for every hour I had to use dialup!! And the dial up charges were for more than if I were to have signed up for a monthly unlimited dialup account as well!!!! Quite the fucking scam they have going, I tell ya!! So, when I paid my ISP bill, I refused to pay for the dialup. I kept trying to get someone there to discuss it with me, but of course, no one was ever available to do that, what a shocker eh?? then i made the stupid mistake of telling one of the tech guys about it and how I was refusing to pay the dialup, bammmm, next business day, my service is CUT!! And when I call, I get this nasty assed snarky woman treating me as if I'm a deadbeat customer and saying that until I agree to pay all the charges, then I can't even discuss the dialup charges with anyone there!! ARGHHHHHHHH!! What a fucking crappy company *GRRRRRRRRRR!! The only redeeming points with Uniserve are some of their techs... Josh, Tony, Colleen, and Darryl are AWESOMEEEEE!! You guys rockkkkkk, thanks for doing so much with so little!! lol

Anyways, I finally gave in and am in the process of trying to get a hold of someone there to credit my damned account for all those dialup charges... and of course, will be blasting their asses on every broadband and ISP forum and review sites I can find *EG*

So, to recap...

UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!! UNISERVE SUCKSSSSS!!!!

*smiles sweetly n hits Publish*


PS... good thing I pasted this blog entry to editpad, because my adsl stopped flickering and instead went down completely again. I'm now online, on dialup *GRRRRRR* after spending 3/4 of an hour on the phone with tech support... SHEESH!!

Salvation in "Site"

Yayyyyyyyyyyy!! It's DONE!! I went and did some running around yesterday to get everything in place, and last evening signed up for my own server....no more having to deal with waiting for others to pull their thumbs out of their asses, lol :) i ended up staying up all night last night setting up the server, packages, accounts, and transferring it all, then grabbed a three hour nap and was back at it again, but mannnnnnnnn, who cares about the full set of luggage under my eyes, this feels sooooooooooooo goooooooooooooood!!! :P

I love it... there's all kind of new toys to play with, loadsssssss of different scripts included...it's like buying a fabuloussssssssssssss penthouse apartment with an unlimited budget to decorate with!! hehehe

Just noticed that one of the google ads at the top here simply says "Shit"... WTF kind of link is that??? :O Of course I HADDD to check it out!! I clicked on it and winced, half expecting to see that nasty 'tubgirl' pic, lol, but instead got a page stating that my search yielded no results, lol.... yep, better than that nasty tubgirl pic, lol

Stressing

What a day!! My server was down for the past day and a half due to a problem that only one of our group (there's three of us associated with it) could take care of and he was sick with the flu and not answering calls, smses or messages; I have been going crazyyyyyyy, sooooooo stressed out!! All day long I have been fielding questions from clients and trying to keep them happy, all the while I'm freaking out as much as or even more than they are!! How the hell am I supposed to run a business with this kind of shit going on all the time?? ARGHHHH!! Thank goodness it's been ironed out now, but still it was the second incident like this in the past few months and this other guy and I were not impressed. So, we've decided to take matters into our own hands and tonight were shopping around for a decent reseller package we could go together on. I think we may have found one, so relief is in sight!! :D

I've also gotten involved with a group dedicated to ousting, exposing, and wasting the time of online scammers, which has been really interesting!! Some of the tales they tell of these various scammers are hilarious... the things they make them do, the things they put them through, OMG!! And they have the PICS to prove it!! heheh

I have my own "burn" started... it's on a guy that scammed a friend of mine out of alot of money a couple of years ago... a very sweet, kind woman that was touched by his tale of woe and so wanted to help, and in return, got used financially, was exposed to humiliation when word of it got out, etc, so, I am planning to teach him a lesson he won't soon forget!! Her fiance is one of my closestttttttt friends and is totally behind me and wants a piece of it too (he almost got scammed by him as well). "I", however, is less than pleased. He wants me to have no part in this whatsoever; I think it's just because he worries about me so much and worries about this guy realizing who it is that is "getting him". Hopefully I can convince "I" to support me in this... I'd hate to have to lie to him about or do something that i KNOW he is against :( Pity he is against it... the guy lives in a city that "I" has loads of friends in... would have been great to get some mobile phone clips of who the scammer really is!!

Eye of the Storm

Just wanted to make sure I got in a short post before I left it too long. Christmas was busy, hectic, wallet-breaking, but alright. I sure am not as into as I used to be, that's for sure.

I'm going through a strange time right now. Dealing with some health issues that have caused me to look within myself and search for answers to add quality to my life. one of the side effects of this has been me re-evaluating friendships and removing the toxic ones.

Ever have one of those "friends" that always seems to have get in a "dig" at ya? Or always brings up something that they KNOW makes ya anxious? I have two such friends right now. One I gave the heave-ho to this morning...he's the anxiety causing one. The other is an online one and after I forgave him his last gaff, and we were finally talking again, he did it AGAIN... so, I simply stopped replying and have subsequently stopped all contact with him. Cruel perhaps, but sheesh... the whole thing about true friends is that they DON'T play those kind of games with your head, so fuck it, lesson learned, he's written off.

Not sure what I'll be doing for New Year's this year... or what evil resolutions I'll come up with, but it should be interesting :)

Lazying with videos

Been feeling out of sorts, so I just spent the day being lazy. Did some laundry and straightening up, some easy work, and watched movies all day... what a life eh?

One of the shows was Bandit Queen... been wanting to see it for a while and finally got a hold of it.... loveddddddddddd it!! Maybe it was just my PMS bitchy and crankiness, but I really enjoyed the parts where she kicked ass on the guys... like that scuzzy "husband"... what a sleazeeeeeee, a grown man marrying a child and then forcing her to be as a grown woman for him!!

She went easy on him though... instead of tying him to that pole in the ground and beating him with the gun, I would have viciously raped him with the pole instead, then used it to sever his testicles by smashing them with it... thennnnnnn fed them to him for lunch, THEN I would have beat him with the gun... hehehe... anyone want to risk pissing me off today? :D


.... Later..... Arghhhhhhhhhhhh, just got into an argument with "I".... men SUCKKKKK!! :(

Computer Hell

First off, let me say... McAfee is CRAPPPPPPPP!!! *Growls*

I have spent the past three days in computer HELL because of their crappy security suite that didn't do shit to stop spyware, viruses and trojans... even when I got pissed off at their online tech and cyberly strangled him before he finally gave me the instructiond to manually remove their shit programs from my computer, the hell was still not over because I had basic functions that my computer would NOT perform!!

I could not do something as simple as copying and pasting (amazingggg how much I need to do that; guess I'm lazier than I thought when it comes to typing, lol), my Windows Installer was messed up, and my Cyptographic Services, and a zillion other things. In the Services.msc folder I could not even view the properties of anything, and forget about starting processes, ackk!! No text showed up in my yahoo messenger, just a totally white window no matter what was sent. And it was the same with my notification windows from Dell... and my webserver's cpanel was the exact same way, arghhh!! No new programs would install at all; nothing could be done!! I spent hour upon hour scouring various tech forums for solutions, trying all all kinds of advice, did scan after scan using a variety of different programs and diagnostics. I even reregistered a bunch of my dll files... all to save the 100 or so GB of data I had already managed to load onto my computer in the last couple of weeks... finally I decided that the stress just was NOT worth it, and I performed a Dell Restore, putting my computer back to the exact condition it was in when I booted it up for the very first time. I may have lost all that data, but at least I have my sanity back :D And I can get back to work again, woo hoo!! :P Money, money, money!! hehehe

He who hesitates..

I started to write a post last night, then got sleepy, so went to bed, continued it this afternoon when I got the chance and was in the middle of a quite lengthy post when I was called away to the telephone and upon returning, rebooted my comp, not even thinking about my blog entry until it was too late!! Lesson learned!! So, from now on, I think I'll be making alot of shorter posts.

I had a lazy Sunday...lazy weekend preetty much. Just stayed in and watched movies. Finally watched Meet the Fockers.... funnyyyyy show!! I loveeeee Ben Stiller and Dustin Hoffman, and of course, DeNiro is always awesome, but to see him acting so uptight is hilarious!! I was surprised to see Barbra Streisand in it though playing Mrs. Focker... what a DELIGHT she was!! I'll definitely have to look for FunnyGirl sometime; loved that movie when I was a kid :)

I checked out American Born Confused Desi as well...by accident, lol. "I" had told me to check it out, said it was one of his favorite movies and was funny as hell.... okayyyy, sure didn't seem like something he'd be into, but I started watching it anyways. Part way through he gave me a call and i told him that I think he got the title mixed up with another, and upon me telling him the plot thus far, he agreed, but I enjoyed it anyways. Sucky, crappy, too real to life ending, but that only made it a better movie I guess. It's about an Indian family living in the US and their struggle with the clash of cultures. The mother is widowed and now that the son is grown and engaged to a good indian american girl, she obsesses with setting up such a successful match for her strongwilled daughter. Of course, the daughter is considered too westernized and so is portrayed as a slut, a sweet girl at heart, but a wanton slut, nonetheless. Meanwhile the son, you can clearly see is uncomfortable with his 2 yr engagement, but, as the family peacekeeper, he stays quiet about what he wants. The daughter was just soooo defiant, that even when she finally spends time with a man well suited for her, one that will treat her right and one whom she feels a connection with, she throws it all away.... because he is indian, and instead goes back to the white asshole that treated her like shit and cheated on her before. When the son finally breaks off his engagement, he doesn't even end up with the white woman he clearly has a thing for... *sighs... makes ya wish ya could rewrite the ending. Just stop them, give them a smack and get them changing their choices. Sure makes ya think though.

I checked around and found the name of the film that "I" was talking about, American Desi, so will try to get that one soon. I'm also waiting on some documentaries to come in... one on Islam, another on brothel children of Kolkata, and another on intermarriages, something that "I"'s family has done for ages. not sure if i will everrrrr understand that one.

Okay, off to fall asleep to Queer as Folk on DVD....LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE that show; I have all five seasons, woo hoo!! :P
