Daily Blogg: cataclysm to hit Azeroth

Yes Blizzcon '09 happened, storeys were told, rumours were routed and panels were bombarded with the myriad miscellaneous query's and questions of the great unwashed.
All in all a good time was had by all.

So whats new then? Well basically there gonna blow up Azeroth...as in explode....destroy....mutilate....annihilate.

er yea I was shocked too. but this Cataclysmic event is to allow certain long awaited changes in the World of Warcraft. During these events however two new playable races have emerged from there hidey holes and joined one of the two factions vieing for the now distinctly limited resources of the now shattered world.

The are the Worgen (feral werewolve like creatures with an aptitude for magic) joining the Alliance and the Goblins (greedy little green dudes who run the airships) joining the Horde.

How this will play out im not sure and the exact story line is currently unpublished but rest assured as soon as i get some concrete info ill be posting it here.

Daily Blogg: Do you wanna'?

Oh Felicia Day...I do i truly do.
A little foray into the world of "The Guild" for us to enjoy.

reality meets fantasy head on , who knew it could be this happy to keep us all interested...



...hang on ill get my chain-mail, this looks like fun!

Daily Blogg: Day 20....and counting

Damn you BT, damn you and your stupid "we will escalate your case to...", damn your petty nasal whining, damn your "were doing all we can" and damn your stupid outsourced accents!

20 days with dial up level speed and only now are they "considering" sending out an engineer to the local exchange to "modify my personal access". Lets just say my patients with outsourced idiots who know as much about broadband internet access as i do about sub quantum string theory and its relation to dimensional harmonics...

...sure i know it exists as a subject of curiosity and i know that somebody out there has a relatively good idea how and why it relates to my day to day life, but damned if i can do anything about it so why should i care?

Today is the last day im giving BT to fix my service before i start official complaints through Ofcom (http://www.ofcom.org.uk/).

This far and no further...this is the line in the sand

Daily Blogg: BT epic level fail

Ok Day 13 here on OMFGWhattheHellBT? watch. The engineer came out, tested my line all was well, all issues resolved...er..except...


...ok what the hell?

Here is the latest results from "British" Telecom thanks to SpeedTest.net, as you can see it looks more than a little familiar to my regular readers.
It has been so damn long since i was able to get on line effectively that my goddamn World Of Warcraft account has frozen due to me running out of game time.

As for work, well i am currently forced to download all my work to a PDA and send it to work via my local McDonalds wifi...

yea...i know...im not a happy bunny

so once again i sit upon my rump from 8am to 1pm waiting for a "specialist" engineer to attempt to fix the issue. If this continues i may have to seriously consider changing service provider.


stay tuned for more.

Daily Blogg: The curse strikes again

John Hughes, Jr. (February 18, 1950 – August 6, 2009)


I post...they croak...what manner of hell hath i wrought?

the critically acclaimed director of National Lampoon's Vacation; Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Weird Science; The Breakfast Club; Some Kind of Wonderful; Sixteen Candles; Pretty in Pink; Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Uncle Buck; Home Alone and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. He was the teen movie director of a generation and in my humble opinion a genius of comedic timing and humour.

poor guy, he will be missed.

Daily Blogg: BT home Hell

Ok so here we are again...

...interwebs enabled....er.....kinda,you see unbeknown to me BT requires a 10 day "line test" and "run up" before switching on my fancy new 8 mb/s broadband here at the new house.

this is what im currently getting (on a good day off peak)



this....is apparently what im supposed to be using for Internet access until my 10 day fuckabout is finished. Yes your reading that correctly thats 0.13mb/s download speed thats 0.43 mb/s SLOWER than dial up internet.

As im sure your aware...this is not going to cut the mustard so today at some stage (as this is day 10) im going to have to have a word with the fine chaps at BT tech support to try and get this resolved.

stay tuned for there answer as soon as i manage to get one.

Daily Blogg: IM BACK!!!

So after two loooooooooong weeks and a myriad of calls to BT a full house move with redecoration, plumbing, plastering, scrubbing and clearing, carpet laying and fixture fitting done and dusted I am finally back online.

Apparently however my reintroduction to the internet seems to have unfortunately killed Amy Whitehouse but i suppose that cant really be helped. for those of you not in the know you may have noticed that every time i go to post a blog entry a celeb croaks....now if only i could harness this power i would be invincible!

regardless im back, let the famous corpses fly because i aint going nowhere!
