Month: February 2005

I have lost my ICQ User Details!

I just wanted to udpate them a bit and instead of getting them updated, I lost them! 🙁

More details at my ICQ Focus Group thread about it…

Last time, ICQ’s system just confused my age, they fixed that after 3 days. I hope they will fix this problem here, fast aswell!

I miss my fast internet connection, but I have noticed just today, that

being not on ICQ at the moment (since it would be too expensive!), has one advantage; No more weird people, at least at the moment. I seem to be a magnet for Chinese and Egypts on ICQ 🙁 .

It wasn’t be that bad, if it wouldn’t always be the same schematic;

“Hi! Can we be friends?”

and:

“Can you teach me English?”

Plus Egypts mostly end up this way:

– “What’s your name?”

me: “Joerg”

– “Oh, I love girls!”

me: “Ahem! Joerg is a male name and if you were looking up my ICQ User Details you would have noticed that.

Then those nice questions like:

“Do you speak Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Romanian, French, Portuguese?” And I say NOOOOOOOOOOO, god damn!

I really don’t miss those weird people from ICQ 😛 But I miss my normal nice people and friends. 🙁

(includes real life friends who use ICQ and ex-classmates).

I hope next week, cable internet rockz my PC! Wish me luck!

Anybody who wants to express his sincere condolences about my lost internet connection (read here for more info about that sad event 🙁 ) may please send them to my email address!

I hope not! O:-)

Today in the morning, I spent 3 hours (no joke!) to connect all devices of my PC plus TV, VCR, stereo (and still 2 computers yet to connect!) and [b]holy crap[/b] I forgot how to connect my stero to my sound card (into which jack!) I have noticed, I have used a different one than in past and the quality is [b]amazingly better![/b] Bite my ass, I did a computer education with CCI graduation and still, I missed that fact, arghhh!

Well, doesn’t matter, the sound quality is amazing now! 😀

Hi! After 7 days no entry, I am back on the net, but not on ICQ yet!

Well, I have got my PC running and a temporary dial-up modem connection. Very slow, way too slow! And some people sent me emails with over 500 kb attachments!

I needed over 5 minutes till all my emails were fetched!

Last Monday, 2 technicans from the cable company were here, checking the cable box in the cellar. This house will get a new one, and a new 3-way

receptacle (cable TV, cable radio and cable modem). But I won’t connect my home phone to it, because the cable provider has completely over-expensive phone

rates.

So, I sticked with the main (ex-monopoly) phone company, which supports the use of CallByCall providers for cheaper phoning.

The cable company said, I should get internet next week (at least a date when the cable box in the cellar will get replaced with a cable internet enabled

one).

Furthermore I have updated the list of Udo’s ICQ Focus Group posts! Enjoy!

more to come! 😀

Hi!

I have sad news! Here is a quote of the email I sent out!

———-

You receive this message because one of the folliwing is actually valid for you (choose your prefered one!):

-You are on my virtual friends list stored in my brain
-I assume you would worry wether I disappeared from the face of the earth because I wouldn’t reply to you
-I just find it funny to bother you and pester you with my exsistance, i.e. my silly emails. Please enjoy this one as you enjoyed my
previous emails!

To make a long story short: My new ISP sucks. As you might know, I am about to move into a new rent flat in Mannheim as of February,
12th., and they are so much “competent”, i.e. sending letters to wrong addresses, just forgot me or any other silly reasons.

I would keep my DSL, but in that new flat/street is no DSL technically possible!

Today in the morning, I received a phone call from the technican: Upcoming Monday, they will check which changes have to be performed to
make this house cable internet ready.
After the house owner signed the paper, I am about to get my internet access in the week from 21th till 27th.

This means I will be totally without internet from February, 11th – ca. 27th.

I will however setup all my email accounts to forward any incoming email to my GMail account.
(I have 1 GB quota there, that should be enough!).

————

See you soon I hope!

Bye bye!

Amazing! I got linked from somebody’s blog for the first time! Thank you, Robin! 🙂
