Sorry about the late-night cat snapchats guys, I can't help myself.

Im up at strange rear end hours with work, so any one is welcome to snapchat the poo poo out of me.


In other news, Mediacom had issues with their back end systems on their network. I called up and said that my end was fine, that if I can access their local pages, that my equipment is fine and its their end. So what do they do? They gently caress with my router/cable modem and then none of my devices will connect to the router any more.

Tech support :downs: Well, you have to many devices connected to the router.
Myself :argh: I am pretty sure every thing worked fine before, it was fine until you guys reset my router or what ever.
:downs: Well, sir, 3 devices is to many
:argh: I have 5 devices on the router and it never had an issues, 2 phones, 2 tablets and 1 laptop. That should hardly give an issues seeing how theres only 2 or 3 in use at any given time.
:downs: Well, you need less devices.
:argh: Fine, just turn off the wifi, I will go find my router out of storage.
:downs: Using external routers is against the terms of service sir.
:argh: Then ill run really long extension cords. Bye

I hate not having an actual phone. Angrily pushing end call on a smart phone doesn't bring the satisfaction of slamming a phone on the receiver.

Secondly: WRTG54 - Its having a few issues with keeping connections.... Update firmware?

It was an old router I have had from way back when. I know I should buy a new one but I am cheap.

Did some digging, and found that changing the MTU to auto, it should fix the issues.

So I did that and no connection issues so far. I know that I need to just buy a new router. Maybe before my free prime is over I'll jump on buying a new router. What do all the cool kids use these days thats 50 bucks and under?

Do you need an actual router or just a WiFi AP? If you just need a AP, these are pretty loving awesome for the price. Much better coverage than your standard consumer grade AP and you can link a few of them together if you need more range.

You know that might not be a bad unit.

I can use my janky rear end server to do all the routing functions seeing how its always on, then just buy a cheap switch to do anything else.

They are loving retards, there is no "maximum devices" and it certainly isn't single digits. That idiot really ought to be driving taxis or cleaning public toilets or something.

I don't really put blame on the tech, these guys mostly have scripts. But when I say, I can access the mediacom web page, because thats part of the INTRA-net and the INTER-net it means my poo poo works fine. He should have known to just check and see if there was an outage. I ended up calling them later last evening and found out they were having a DNS issue on their end.

Mediacom called today and asked if we would like a new cable modem/router. I said just mail it to me, and I will set it up. Problem is they took away all the administrator functions unless you have their passwords and poo poo. I may just end up springing for a new DOCSIS 3.0 modem and say gently caress it and own my own poo poo.

Because the people here are far more sane than e/n people....

Is it normal to not hate an ex but still think they are a lovely person? I don't sit around and bad mouth my ex all day every day. Nor do i bring it up in conversation. But I don't care for her either and still think she's a bitch.

Is that normal or am I a poo poo person? Its just a thought I was rolling around in my head.

Edit: I should say that I do forgive them for the most part. Still mad she made off with a few of my favorite t shirts (they were pretty stained up college shirts). I do pity her to a point that her mom rules her life.... But meh. I guess its just a thought I have had in my head. More or less a get off the chest and see what others thought.

Thanks for the ex chat! I know a person one day mentioned her and asked if we ever talked. I said not really but shes not a person that I really ever want to talk to. They asked why I said flat out shes just a bitch is all. That's when they said oh well its not good to be hung up on her like that.

I didn't think I was hung up, just didn't want to talk to her and I think shes a bitch. In all fairness though, there are a few people that I think are asshats and don't care to talk to again either, so does that make it wrong?

God damnit. I really need to stop engaging morons on Facebook. Along with Birthers, Tea Partiers, and POST THIS OR YOU WILL DIE TOMORROW the Ebola fearing crowd is about the worst.

Yes, all 6 (if even that) people that are infected with the ebola is going to cause a massive outbreak, even though the flu, rabies and other viruses kill far more people and are already wide spread. Its not like the ebola isn't spread through the air. It is spread through intimate contact (how the nurses in Dallas were infected by touching bodily fluids and not following proper hazmat procedures) :rolleyes:

Holy gently caress. A real tool box is the most amazing thing in the world. I am so glad to be rid of this lovely rear end craftsman box. But I only bought the bottom and I am still using the craftsman top. But I figure in time I can replace the top and get the side cabinet.

The only reason I bought the this over the HF model 41" is this had a life time warranty, and double ball slides bearing on the top shelf and triple ball bearing slides for the bottom shelf.

Neat. Good stuff, semi terrible store.

It is semi terrible but for 350, I can't complain. Its built extremely well, I can expand it to get a top shelf then a side box. Right now the thing is so god drat big I won't fill it any time soon.

I do have the money to pay it in full but with any purchase over 299 I can enjoy 6 months no interest. I already will allot money to pay it off quick but its nice not to deplete my savings in one swoop. I get paid in a week anyways so I'll go in and pay it in store.

I did buy an electric impact gun as well, but it did not live up to expectations, so its going back.
