Once again a new home. From Away From Football to the Lounge. From the Lounge to the Crocket forum. From the Crocket forum to the Paquador forum, and now here. We're like a roving band of internet gypsies.

I'm still not quite sure what the admins at XT want from us?
Anyway, cable tv is down. I was on hold with them for 15 minutes, then talked with a customer service person who wanted me to move furniture to get a serial number from the digital thingy, and then finally I was told that there is an area-wide disruption and it isn't me at all.

I'm still not quite sure what the admins at XT want from us? I've been in touch with several of them and each one tells a different story. At best there is no unity among them, at worst they have a hidden agenda. Whatever the reason, I'm through with it.

Anyway, cable tv is down. I was on hold with them for 15 minutes, then talked with a customer service person who wanted me to move furniture to get a serial number from the digital thingy, and then finally I was told that there is an area-wide disruption and it isn't me at all. Something like that happened to me at the office recently. I was doing a presentation and all off a sudden the mouse wouldn't work anymore. The battery was still fully charged and it had worked fine seconds ago. I was shaking it like a madman, with a room full of people staring at me, but nothing happened. So I called tech support and they said that I was probably standing between the signal and the receiver of the wireless mouse and that I should stand on the other end of the room. So I did. But it meant that the people in the room had to keep turning their heads from me at the one end of the room to the monitor at the other end of the room. At the end of the presentation I got a call from tech support to tell me that there was actually a disruption in the network and that the wireless system should work fine again.

I just seen an excellent program called the Tropic of Cancer. It was entertaining and educational. It told about the Western Sahara conflict and of how the Sahrawi people have grown divided and lost from Morocco. The host sought out refugees, exiles in Mauritania who were living with their families and for the parents, they had been split from their own parents since 1975, since the conflict started. They are afraid of returning to Morocco as they fear the treatment they would receive at the hands of the government and/or the secret police.
I've read a few short stories from the Katherine Mansfield collection. Miss Brill is a very moving story, especially in its closing.
Sorry, I should have called myself Jeff rather than mrbrill. lol
