Today

[andrewducker]

Is a day off. Our broadband has been _shit_ recently - dropping down to 30kb/s in the evenings. So I called up Virgin, got a new modem, and now an engineer coming out to take a look, somewhere between 12 and 4. If it was between 1 and 4 it'd be worth me working a half day, as it is, I have to take the whole day off. Yay.

So I was looking forward to a nice lie in, except that Julie has a mini conference today, at Heriott Watt. So she had to be on a bus at 8, so we were up at 6:45. Which is about 2 hours earlier than usual. Yay.

Oh, and then, on the way home, I got a Twitter message in my email, opened the link in it, and stupidly entered my user name and password. Of course, it wasn't a link to Twitter at all, but I couldn't tell that, due to the link shortener. So the first thing I did when I got home was to change my Twitter password. Yay.

Now to tidy up the living room so that the engineer can reach the cable socket...

Oh I got that twitter thing. Direct message from someone I follow, it claimed to be. Fortunately, Firefox warned me of phishing. When I followed it anyway, it turned out to be a fake Myspace -- which at a URL that pretended to be twitter-ish would have been a bit of a giveaway.

Mine was fake Twitter. And I did it on my phone, which didn't warn me. When I checked from home, Firefox _did_ warn me, which was how I found out!

Virgin are crap, from what I've heard they dick on their customers regularly and are just generally shite...

Always been good to me. Had someone out within 36 hours of me calling who took cables apart, tidied stuff up, replaced a worn connector and seems to have improved my connection speed. Oh, and gave me a new modem.
