Blogging For Money

Looks like I am going M.I.A. for the moment, no thanks to this. Sigh. Anyway, to those who have been sending me emails, I just want to let you know that I’ve received them, but will not be replying due to yours truly going cybercafe-hopping. Again, no thanks to this.

Maxis, Maxis, here I come!

So TMNet does a triple on me and my DSL light went off last night. I made a report and this afternoon they called me and told me that this is a problem affecting many areas in the Klang Valley. Yeah, right. If so, then why is this cybercafe I am in working fine with their internet access?

Sheesh, I just don’t get it.

Either TMNet is really, really incompetant, or Allah Almighty wants to test my patience, or I must be cursed or something. Or it could be all three at once, who knows.

In any case, the DSL light to my modem is off. For the upteenth time, again. Of course I reported the problem to Streamyx TMNet Centre, but since it will only be attended to “within two working days”, it looks like it is going to be the cybercafe for me this weekend.

Its back up again after yesterday’s problem surfaced. I just checked about ten minutes ago and the DSL light is no longer off. Phew, I was wondering when they would actually fix the internet line. They must have done it without me realizing it.

Finally I can blog again with a clear conscience. In the meantime, I am going to go into Guild Wars. There are some missions which I need to complete.

Now I’m back in a cybercafe just like I was a week ago because the DSL light in my modem is once again off. There was a lightning storm yesterday so it was no surprise that it actually happened. I’ve tested with two different DSL modems and both provided the same result. The conclusion from there is from hence on rather obvious.

I’ve already filed a report at the Streamyx Support Center but learning from my experience the last time around, I am going to go to TMPoint Kajang to follow up on the issue. I find that action much more effective in restoring my connection rather than lying around in wait for their technician to give me a call.

This is deja vu all over again.
