sxsw

Just twittered…

me: Does anyone have a SXSW Interactive Badge for me? I really only need to “borrow” it on Saturday. :)

And then I got…

snax: @glenniest SXSW badges are non-transferable, have photos on them and entry checked at panels and official events. Carver events are free

me: @snax wow buzzkill.

snax: @glenniest :( better you know before you get your heart set on using friend’s badge, and it be confiscated. You might be able to win one.

snax: @glenniest hrm, contests seem to be closed. you aiming for panel, party, or tradeshow?

Isn’t this DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS deal getting tired?

But, anyway, now I’m trying to find out what I can do at SXSW Interactive without a badge.

Evil Time Warner Cable and Evil Nine

Last night for the killionth time in the last month or so, my internet’s went down. Thanks, Time Warner Cable for yet another internet outage. The symptoms: mail will still download from certain types of connections, you can still IM (very important when checking in with your other friends whose internet is also down), but you just can’t. surf. the internet.

Nooooo!!!!

And it only seems to happen at night, which means it is likely caused by owls or vampires.

Nope. Turns out it’s zombies. Hackers attacking zombies. Check Time Warner’s So Cal excuse page: http://www.timewarnercable.com/SoCal/support/local/internetOutage.html. It literally says zombies.

Anyway, last night I was pissed and buzzed so I called up Time Warner at 1 AM and let em have it. Hold time was really short, tank god. The guy said that he would report the outage and credit me back for the day. He said to call every day that it happens and they will credit you for the day. So make sure you call!

And guess how much you get credited for a whole day’s worth of internet?

The Price of Internet

Times are tough. $1.07 counts. So then the customer service guy says, “Is there anything else I can do for you?” I said, “Yeah, get the internet back.”

He goes, “I’ll try my damnedest.”

So there you have it. Time Warner Cable internet sucks. Except for my customer service guy, Ryan, from last night.

Now in honor of ZOMBIES let’s watch the Evil Nine ZOMBIE VIDEO TRILOGY!
