Unprepossessing features.

I had an idea that I would start updating this site more than once a month, perhaps once day. Alas it seems to be once a week. I blame that entirely on alcohol and a sequence of events that wasn't necessarily glorious.

The grand and glorious thing about having a dreadful and tedious week is when good things happen, they're so much better than if you'd been sailing along happily. You know? I suspect the party I went to on Saturday would have been just as fun if I'd been sailing along evenly but was even more so in contrast.

Yay for good friends and good memories.

If there's one thing I'm going to desperately miss about living in the UK, it's the people I have around me. Wouldn't the world be nice if Portland and Manchester were just right next door? If I ever win the lottery I'm going to throw the biggest party you've ever seen and include plane tickets.

Maybe in New York. You know, in the middle.

In the Guardian again!
There was one other thing that kicked the weekend off to a good start. Talk Talk Hell was mentioned in the Guardian again. I'm seeing a nice increase in traffic along with it.

I rather like the context of this article as well. It focuses on the mistakes that CEOs can make when they attempt to harness new ways of communicating without understanding the underlying expectations. Since I started running Talk Talk Hell, I've been bemused to note his lack of updates. But I wonder if he would have made the situation better or worse. His platitudes all over television and in every paper off Fleet Street doesn't seem to have consoled his suffering customers.

I did get some personal assurances that the talk of BT being difficult with exchanges and line activation was true. Other ISPs, besides Talk Talk, have similar difficulty getting them to let go. The problems aren't entirely that of Talk Talk but they don't really help themselves with their sophomoric media antics.

I haven't heard from their legal team for almost two whole weeks. Congratulations in order?!
