You gotta love it!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Don’t you just love when your internet connection goes flaky and you get an email out to your ISP and they respond with “We’re having some trouble with our proxy server, we’ll let you know when it’s working properly”, and then you find that the connection has been OK for hours, but no note from them? Yeah I’m always in the habit of checking it for myself and not waiting on them, and I’m glad they got it fixed, but really, wouldn’t it be nice if they actually meant it when they said “we’ll let you know”?

    So the voice mail system went kaput! already this morning. There’s nothing quite like looking over at your phone and seeing the red light next to the voice mail button on solid red when you don’t have the phone off the hook. Hmm let’s see, if I hit the button it says “Voicemail is Unplugged”….

  • What the hell is a "memetracker"?

    I’ve been watching the comments on Scoble’s post since I posted my early thoughts this afternoon. I had another thought that came to mind this evening as I read through the comments. I think it’s important to think about the type of person who is using tools like Memeorandum and others. Scoble gushes about how…

  • Interesting

    From Scripting News: This is so beautiful and symmetric. An ISP is banning the RIAA from its network. Now, let’s all of us think of ways we can erase the RIAA from our lives. This could get interesting. Indeed it will be interesting to watch this unfold. Surely the RIAA, once given power to monitor…
