We interrupt this blog to bring you a special news report.

My internet connection has been transferred back to its original owners. I have applied for a new connection which hopefully will be up and running withing the next 10 working days.

For your information, getting internet set up here is a pain.

Initial phone line connection fee costs AUD300. Phone line rental prices differ from plan to plan. I got the Homeline Budget plan so I pay AUD20/month.

After that I applied for broadband. There are about 200-300 different ISPs to choose from. Another thing the really annoys me is that Australian broadband services employ a quota system where by each account has a certain download limit. There are about 3 ISPs that have truly unlimited plans but a lot of people complain because of poor connection speeds, slow pings, interruptions and stuff like that.

After careful consideration I have decided to go with and ISP called Internode. It’s probably the most used ISP in australia at the moment. The plan I chose is 1.5Mbps down 256kbps up connection with an 80GB quota.

How much does it cost??? AUD120/month!!! …and AUD130 setup fee.

What happens when you exceed your quota??? The ISP does something fun to your connection. It’s known as "shaping" or "throttling". I dunno why its called that but basically you internet connection speed gets capped at 64kbps.

Thats a TCO of AUD570 just to get online!!!

I hope to be online soon so I can amuse you with my awesome blog posts.

Til then, chiao!

OK CHILDREN! PAY ATTENTION!!! That is the definition of "TESTIMONIAL". Testimonials are NOT pictures/video/audio!!!

You know what I’m talking about…these ones:-

Sure they’re cute but they are NOT testimonials. This is precisely why I don’t write testimonials…although I do enjoy receiving them…something tells me that I’m gonna be very unpopular in the receiving testimonials department after this…oh well, think of the bright side -if I were into writing testimonials, this would be on everyones page (click and zoom in!):

I have just updated my testimonial profile with 15 "non-testimonial" testimonials(NTTs) that I have kept hidden away…They will be there for your viewing discomfort until for no longer than a week before I remove ALL NTTs from my profile. The objective of this post it to urge you all to do the same!

I know that lately I’ve been blogging very little. So little that I’ve pretty much lost 90% of my so-called fan base…so THANK YOU for ur visit. I’d appreciate it if you’d comment.

Rather then just waiting for something to come by thats interesting enough to post about I have now decided to blog about something that makes me different from everyone of you. MY PHILOSOPHY.

Yeap! That’s right. Until this very day I find myself so unique that I can’t stop complaining about whats wrong with the rest of you. Yes, I know I have an ego big enough to make the internet jealous. Anyway, this way I’ll be updating much more often and with things that’ll make you laugh…thats the "HOPE"…but if you end up wanting to punch me then lets just say you’ll have to find me first.

Also, that means that my posts will be short and sweet and straight to the point because I’m lazy, you’re lazy, we’re all LAZY and YOU KNOW IT! …also most people have a very short attention span.

Okay then. Please tell me what you think abut this mew plan. The first "PHILOSOPHICAL FACT ACCORDING TO ME"  will be posted within a week.

STAY_TUNED.
