Skype voicemail query

Posted in Technology Related, and Uncategorized

Ok all.

I’ve written to the skype forums regarding the unfair way they select people to try out the new skype voice mail service.
I’ll post the message here which I posted to the support forum and let you know if I recieve any replies.

Here’s my message below.

Hi there.

I’m wondering is there a way a skype user such as myself can obtain a voucher code to try the skype voicemail beta at this time?

I think it would be much better if people could choose to try out voicemail for themselves and offer suggestions on how to improve the voicemail service.

Having a closed beta doesn’t give everyone the opportunity to try the new voicemail service and offer suggestions on improvements that could be made etc.

Any chance of possibly obtaining a voucher code so I can try out voicemail for myself?

I find it extraordinarily unfair that only selected people are selected to try out voicemail and not everyone is given the opportunity to try it.
Why not offer the beta to all skype users or at least give people an opportunity to put there name forward to try out the beta if they wish.

Any replies or a voucher code would be greatly appreciated.

The beer and pizza night

Posted in Food Related, Technology Related, and Uncategorized

Ok the beer and pizza night went extreemly well.
Basically I arrived around 3 pm or there abouts at the premisis. I was overjoyed to see an old cabbie I haven’t seen for years so we chatted a bit in his cab on the way over and it was great.
Arrived at the premisis has about 2 beers and decided to go outside and walk up and down the street with Mike’s guide dogl.
the more I walk with Mike’s dog, the more I want to get one myself.
we walked around with the dog for a while and then came back studied the pizza menu for about 15 mins and ordered.
Unfortunately I got flustered during the ordering process so called them back and reordered one of the pizza’s.
We then sat down for a while and just talked shit and about the old days and guide dogs again and the pizza arrrived.
very very nice indeed.
These are the pizza’s we ordered.

SAM’S SIZZLING SPECIAL* one piping hot pizza with tomato sauce, fresh tomato, pepperoni,parmesan cheese, onion, dash of chilli, pineapple, capsicum, topped with bacon, mushroom & melted cheese.

CHRISTINE’S SPICY CHOICE* delicious hot pizza with garlic, pepper, beef, pepperoni, touch of onion, sprinkling of fresh tomatoes, dash of chilli, topped with a thin layer of cheese & bacon on top.

Straight off the menu folks. Fucken tasty as and it was well worth it.

unfortunately 3 of us largish blokes couldn’t finish it all so we left it there for Murray to eat for breakfast the next day.

Overall, an enjoyable night and afternoon and we’ll do it again in a week or so.

Unfortunately I forgot to do a phone post from the venu but we’ll take care of it next time.

See you all tomorrow with another update.

Ok finally the access point and access card have arrived at the computer store.

HI all.

Ok i’m wanting to tell everyone and spread the news far and wide that the billion 5100 and billion 7000 usb modems are so cool. There in demand and don’t cost the earth. I really like how there easy to configure and setup assuming the person your talking to has brains and knows how to use a computer.
The billion 5100 is around 90 dollars and it has a 4 port switch in it as well. I’m pushing these modems like you wouldn’t believe simply cause there a good buy and I like the simplicity they offer.
MOre info for those who haven’t joined the broadband revolution can be found at
Billion Web Site

Also on another note, i’m heading back to the alergy specialist to see if he has any news on this sesame issue I wrote about a few days ago.

Stay tuned for tonights evening bulletin.

spyware a bloody joke

Posted in Helpdesk Related, Technology Related, and Uncategorized

Ok firstly I realize this journal hasn’t been updated for a few days. The reason for this is because i’ve been sick yet again bloody saw throat and I didn’t feel like writing.

Ok now on to the serious subject of this post.

I went over to a frien’s house yesterday to check his pc out. He couldn’t browse the net or check mail. I found this very odd indeed so did all the usual things like delete his dialup connection rebuilt tcp/ip and that didn’t help. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably spyware so i’ll be taking the relevant tools over next Saturday to investigate the issue further.

Watch saturday’s post to see how it all goes.

Unfortunately it’s another working week. That is really starting to annoy me to know end cause I struggled to arrise this morning. I’m looking forward to June 4 for my vacation. Come on june 4 please.

come on 5 o’clock please.

See ya all tomorrow or tonight. If there’s nothing of significance today, i’ll update the journal tomorrow.
