Motorcycle

Woot — signed up for the motorcycle safety corse to get my Class M (allows you to legally drive a motorcycle). I’m supposed to be taking the course the first Sat/Sun of August.  Now I just need to get my helmet and all that stuff then after the class I can finally go get a [...]

Time for some fun

One day I want to be involved in the making of something like this, heh: Somewhat reminds me of this.

Credit received from Comcast

Well, I haven’t actually received another paper bill yet to have it confirmed, but I spoke with the supervisor at Comcast again and she said it had been applied to my account.  So, that’s good to hear, and I’m pretty sure I can trust that it’s been applied based on our conversation.  I feel sort [...]

Phone service changes

So I’ve decided to give Skype a good try-out after canceling my Comcast landline and so far I’m pretty happy with things. I’ve tried the service before, and it was satisfactory, but the costs on it are getting hard to turn away from now. I’m not entirely sure why I’ve become so infatuated with saving [...]

Apparently it was too late …

As you may have seen … I’ve been in an ongoing battle of sorts with Comcast lately.  Today I received a bill in the mail for ~$460.  I called to ask a question about my bill and navigated through the automated system, choosing options to get to billing.  I got someone on the phone and [...]

Too late or still in time …

So, you may remember my comments regarding Comcast, and my … dis-taste for their customer service.  A day or so ago, I received this comment from a representative of Comcast.  I was fairly impressed that my little blog drew their attention. I decided to go ahead and respond to the email address that was provided [...]

Darn you Google!

Yet another feature not available to their paying customers. /sigh Update 6/13/08: They’ve now enabled this feature for my account.  Yay.

DSL Installation scheduled

And I’m looking into Direct TV / Dish Network.  Good-bye Comcast.  I can hardly wait.  At this point I don’t even care if it’s not a cost savings.  As long as it’s comparable, then any of my money that does not go to Comcast is a good thing.

I'm done with this moving thing …

Well, I’m done moving now pretty much. I still need to unpack some things, but I’m totally out of the old place and have turned in the keys for it, etc. It’s been both a good and a bad experience. I had originally hired Starving Students to do the move for me. I had scheduled [...]
