Posted Hablab workday announcements on FeF Google groups and the OSE Announce mailing list. (Hope we get volunteers!) Rather drained from all the time spent on the phone with ISP Customer Care. First, nearly 45 minutes to resolve billing mess-up; bill duly brought down, so, success there! And then another 30 minutes trying to convince their internet troubleshooting department that the root cause of our issues was the modem; in vain - they wouldn't send us a new modem until we retried the connection after swapping out the DSL cord. So, waiting on someone at the farm to try that when they have a spot of time and report findings. This is my 7th call to them in the last 6 weeks and I see yet another 45 minute call to the Internet troubleshooting line in my immediate future. Such fun. Can't wait. | Posted Hablab workday announcements on FeF Google groups and the OSE Announce mailing list. (Hope we get volunteers!)
