we have been having a lot of issues with MTS since July. In September we have had three techs out to the house, and each one they are confident "we have fixed the issue". Bzzzzzzzzzzz.... wrong. After the last tech was here, the pace modem locked up within 11 hours after a timed reboot.
This is the first time in a very long time that I have been thinking about changing to SHAW.
About 15 years ago I bought a device called a NitroFlex in hopes that it would help me keep in shape. Up to 1.5 years, hopes didn't help with my expanding waste line. On Monday September 28 (during my workout), the steel pin that held the nitrocell to the crossbar broke. Luckily, there was a support strap and a screw that prevented the nitrocell bar from shooting forward; otherwise, I think I would have gotten a 1.25" thick bar in the back of the head.
My quest for fitness continues unfettered, we have decided to invest in a BowFlex unit (arrives on Thursday) - just in time for the long weekend.
So i have been working on the new server, trying to get everything setup, tested, and released for this weekend. The machine that I was getting ready to transition to decided to die today. Stupid power supply. Of course this is going to delay everything.
In the mean time, I will continue to work on the security, monitoring, and other tasks that I am planning on adding to the new implementation.
Well I got notification from Logitech that my refurbished trackball has been released for RMA. Customer Service note: take a little bit longer you might piss off even more people.
I have been a long time user of Logitech mice, keyboards, and most recently trackballs for my computing needs. Two years ago, I purchased the M570 trackball. Everything about the unit was great - 3 year warranty, 5 programmable buttons, ergonomic, wireless, and compatible with Macs and Windows PCs.
Well for the past couple of months, my trackball started to randomly double-click when I wanted a single left click only. Being the geek I am, I started looking at the software configuration (settings, version, etc) and then moved to battery issues. At the beginning of May, I jumped into the Logitech forums to see if there are any other suggestions. I found one - pull the battery, randomly click all buttons for 15-30 seconds, restore battery and should be fine. At first this worked for 1-2 weeks, and then quickly declined (I am lucky if I can single click within a hour of doing this process). Remembering (not really saw it on the forums) the warranty, I submitted the claim. It has been 10 days since Logitech's last communication with me (even though I have submitted two requests for update).
Assholes. Today I will be picking up a Kensington trackball from Staples. Here's hoping Logitech continues its downward trend to absolute failure.
