all things geek 
Comments Off Geekzone
So for the last month or so, I have been a regular in the #geekzone channel on IRC. I know one thing is for sure – telecommunications FTW (For the Win… something I have learnt! Yay me!) It doesnt’ matter how many PCs or Macs in some cases you may have, how or if you overclock them, it all comes down to bandwidth, broadband, cellular and internet.
Afterall isn’t that the way we’re all communicating these days? Gone are the days of faxes. Sending a letter. Today I get my mobile, landline and broadband bills by email. I get my power bill by email and I wish that the ARC, Papakura Council, United Water would all follow suit and email me account. It takes so many days to send a letter, yet I can get my bill in seconds.
Speaking of billing and slow to bill. Vodafone fail. Their billing system rolls over at midnight on the 19th of each and every month. They haven’t even so much as even sent me an email to say my bill is ready, but I did get a text from them this morning about my accounts and that was just after 6am. Thanks for the wake up call guys. And thanks for taking 10 days to let me know that on the next business day you’ll be taking the money out of my account. Vodafone Fail.
Aside from Vodafail making my morning a misery. The weather is adding to it as well. Its 26 deg here in South Auckland and a whole 80% humidity. Walking to the fridge burns up a sweat. I have purchased water bottles from the stupidmarket and labelled them with Hamster and Chopper so we know who’s is who’s water bottle. I feel the need for a cold beer, but we’re off to a BBQ tonight, hopefully.
I wish someone would show my mother how to keep a cellphone on her and make sure its charged…..
