Added some new links, the buttons on the side there, with links to all my relevant social crap. That still doesn’t mean I have to be social. So there.

What a blatant lie

Regarding many extremely angry people lately over AT&T, how they do business, other things and probably most of all their “Unlimited” data plan’s extremely expensive overage charge pricing… They say;

“But I can tell you that we go to considerable lengths to inform customers of the limits involved in these plans. We display the plan usage limits and overage rates on our collateral, terms and conditions, and on att.com, And customers can check their usage using myWireless Account or by using the usage monitoring capability on the AT&T Communications Manager application.”

Well. If I log in to my account I see;

137.69 of Unlimited. This is only the 2nd of the month. 137.69 WHAT of “Unlimited”? Bytes? Kilobytes? Megabytes? Gigs?! BITS?! It isn’t just how crooked and wrong it is to consider 5GB unlimited and charging huge amounts of money for overage – But to flat out lie in interviews when people need only look at their account and see they’re full of crap?!

How are you supposed to avoid going over limits if they don’t tell you what measurement your usage is being measured in?!!?

I’ve got unlimited everything… What insane charges will I get hit with if I unwittingly go over the limit?

Whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off–then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

Can’t figure out what’s going on next door. Happens frequently. Sounds like a very calm beeping smoke alarm. VERY loud. It keeps changing in volume like he’s covering it with something, changes sounding like he’s walking around the apartment with it. It’ll go for a minute, it’ll go for a single beep or two, 30 seconds… It’s been going on for like an hour now and it doesn’t smell like he’s cooking so what the hell is going on?!

I ordered this little external battery for my phone, cheaper than the ones that plug directly in to the phone. It’s more versatile too, basically can be used on anything USB. It’s small, it’s light it has blue LEDs what else the hell do you want, right?

Well it would be nice if it worked. It came in handy on Thursdays because I like to listen to the live @DHRadio special on EBM-Radio.com from work all the way around town before dinner.

It worked for about 8 days, doesn’t respond to the charger any more. I think the connector is loose from the board inside. Bastards. So I’m returning it for an exchange, we’ll try again.
