The adventure continues...
Thursday June 26th - Discover Comedy Central, Bravo, and several other channels are not being recieved. Calls to Comcast meet confused answers such as "just wait and it will come back" and "There is a problem at the headend". Comedy Central remains off for almost 10 hours before returning
Tuesday June 30th - Several more channels, such as HBOHD and DiscoveryHD mysteriously go missing. Comcast says Cablecards need to be reset again, but reset does nothing. Customer Care rep takes Cablecard info AGAIN, says they will call back at 8AM. 9:30AM. I call Comcast to find out what is going on. Comcast states that "Cablecard Engineers" are "working on the problem".
To Be Continued.
Dear Te’sh,
I am a frequent drive thru customer of the 3005 West End Ave Starbucks and am confused by a recent decision this store has made. Until recently there was a Trash Can that was accessible to the drive thru customers. Without warning one day, it had been moved away from the Drive Thru area and was no longer accessible. A few days later the “Scoop” portion had been removed to make it look like a normal trash can. When I inquired to the staff as to why this was, the answers I received ranged from “I don’t know” to “It was being used too much”. I’m no expert, but to me isn’t the very point of a trash can for drive thru customers be that it IS used? Now I try my hardest not to generate a lot of trash when I solicit the drive thru by never asking for a receipt, but generally I get a Frappuccino, which at the very least will generate that left over paper from the straw. I usually get looks of incredulity when I ask the staff to throw these away, but they always exceed to my wishes. Is there any possible way that this trash can might be returned to its former position of glory with access for drive thru customers? It would certainly make me happy and somehow I doubt I’m the only one.
I didn't want to visit you anyway, so you can shove your passport requirement right up your boot.
Its cool that you have your stuff on xbox live now, because there is some really great Doctor Who on there, but REALLY? you make people pay 160 spacebucks for EACH PART of a Jon Pertwee Doctor Who episode? Some of those things are 8 or 10 episodes long! do you really thing someone is going to pay 1600 spacebucks (roughly 19 dollars) to pay per view Doctor Who?
*Edit:
Netflix just sent me this:
Dear David,
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan: Disc 1 was not available from your local shipping center. Fortunately, it was available from a shipping center in another part of the country. It's on its way and should arrive within 3 to 5 days.
You'll notice we also recently sent the next available DVD from your Queue to enjoy while Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan: Disc 1 makes its way to you.
Your Queue now shows this extra DVD rental. Enjoy.
So I guess they made good!
The most recent disingenuous "Mac vs PC" Commercial inspired me to post this in an effort to debunk the "Macs need no updates like those pesky PCs do"
I have to say it this year, as I do every year:
They're ruining Cinco De Mayo.
;)
I'm not interested, you can stop sending me hundreds of pieces of Junk Mail a month.
*I hope this post isn't too hip for anyone, or offensive any Clearwire employees who may feel i'm taking food out of the mouths of their family members.
