(Read Me) Rants, Rants, Rants!?

http://i41.tinypic.com/npqp0g.jpg
Hmmm, am I back? I'm not really sure myself to be honest... but hey remember that shitty 10 minutes loop i kept complaining about in that massive December Don't Murder Me post? Well, I'm happy to announce that it still exists & what used to be a 10 minutes window now sometimes narrows itself to an 8 minutes kind of thing (yaaaay)! Our national telephone company is a joke, their customer help line is ran by airheads who are preset to repeat the following line to every customer no matter what the problem is, it's "We checked, everything looks normal and working on our side, it's probably your computer"...WTF!? They even suggested buying a new modem which i did & didn't change anything, i even formatted my pc & this Glitch yet remains...

I'm so frustrated because i can't terminate my account due to a 6 months obligatory contract which ends next month (bit of good news there) but then it means that i will keep disconnecting, unplugging the modem, re plugging it in & reconnecting every 10 minutes through out January which is something I'm not intending to do... So, I'll try to figure an alternative solution or I'll be obligated to put Ohh! Crapp... on hold for a month or so.

For now I'll pour out my frustration by fucking a Hello Kitty stuffed toy or something... I'm stuck on this boring, flat, prejudice, art-free, outdated mainstream, indie culture numb island that files me under Anti-social freak for not following the local rules of growing up.

So until everything goes back to normal, I'll be dropping goodies periodically into this post just so you kids don't feel neglected, but nothing proper until well.. until I have normal internet like everyone else again.

autoKratz - Stay The Same (Alex Metric Remix)
Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks (Klumpfisk Remix)
Lo-Fi-Fnk - Want U (Thompson Edit)

ps. My wife Elle organized a Boys Noize Rec Night event, taking place on the 25th of Jan with Boys Noize, D.I.M. & FRED FALKE! Make sure you get your tickets before they runout.

11 Say Somethings.:

Good luck with getting this whole loop business sorted out, and good luck with the selling of those tickets although I suspect they'll fly :D

our internet provider here does the SAME THING. it's ridiculous. and the worst part is... there isnt anyone else for us to go to really. they say "oh, well it must be your router" or "did you try resetting the modem?"

and when i tell them "i reset the modem 3 times already within the last hour!" they respond with "ok, well, unplug the modem..." and i say "seriously? you're an idiot, transfer me to your customer retention department"

That's a good looking gig!

Sorry to hear about the ongoing problems. Feel free to vent and rant however you like and for as long as you like. Us loyal followers of OhhCrapp will wait as long as it takes for more fantastic electro remix goodness.

(Have you thought about going with wireless internet? It's pretty expensive but at least it might be more reliable!)

well thanks for putting up with that loop thing and sharing great stuff. I would've just given up.

I'd rather pay $59 to donate a free month of Optus to you than miss your site for a month. 3 days was tough enough.

By the way, you married the right girl if she got us Fred Falke. Falkanally he's back in Sydney!

Do you know where I could find Diplo's rmx for MGMT's Time To Pretend ?

ps : I know you're not eMule but all the best remixes are on your blog so...

Noes!! =o
Wouldn't know if I could do without a month without Ohh Crapp.. Than I might need to rely solely on Hypem.. puke..

Well I hope you get your internet stuff fixed and have a nice January and all that =D

I've had that kind of problem before, we bought a new router and the problem got a little better... but still persisted. After several calls to our provider we told them to send someone out to check the wiring outside. Turns out that our internet had some faulty wiring. Hope that possibly helps.
