Re: [Ql-Users] testing [OT]
I deleted my old email account, pjwi...@online.no, as the ISP decided to start charging for it. I dont mind paying for good quality Internet services, but I still have a few free (for now!) accounts. Going through everything to remove all references and contacts from the old account was quite daunting! And this for an account I hardly ever use for anything. When the day comes that goggle and the rest decide to start charging, most people I guess will just pay whatever they demand, rather than suffer the hassle of changing. Ive been with goggle since they first started, so Ive used it everywhere for everything for years. Its like joining a cult: easy to get in; almost impossible to get out!

Re: [ql-users] Testing
Years ago on his farm, when a fuse blew my father would always put a piece of tin foil or a nail in a 13 amp plug until he bought a new fuse. He just couldn't understand that a fuse blew for a reason and he was just asking for trouble. Even as young children my brother and I would cringe every time he did it. About the only time that baler twine couldn't fix the problem I suspect. My dad was of farming stock as well (sheep, pigs etc) but his electrical problem is red/green colour blindness. I've been wiring plugs for him since I was about 4 - in those days live=red earth=green and you don't want to mess those up ! Ah... is that the reason the brown/blue/greenyellow combination came in! I must admit, I have never really thought about why we changed from red/black/green to brow/blue/greenyellow.

Re: [ql-users] Testing
My wife's version of this is with the microwave oven and it is so silly I've never told it to anyone for fear of being ridiculed. I've seen that loads of times. Mind you, I wonder what they say about our 'funny' habits - assuming we actually have them of course. When something's heating up in there, she *ALWAYS* stops it by opening the door, never by using the stop control. She then takes the food out ... Maybe it's the 'oven' thing. An ordinary oven doesn't really worry if you shut the dorr with nothing in it, so when cooking it is normal to remove the food, shut the door and then turn it off. Maybe? No matter how often everyone has told her, she seems totally incapable of curing that potentially dangerous habit. Yet she's *completely* obsessive about not leaving TV etc on standby. Alison likes to grab food from the chopping board when I'm using my sharpest knives to cut it. Her mother does the same - so I know where she gets it.

BT are very cavalier, they buggered me around when Orange stopped my BBand through incompetance. Led to five weeks without coutesy of BT incompetance. I had lots of problems with BT when I went over to broadband in April. First they disconnected my telephone line when they enabled it for broadband. Then they (or the courier company) sent the router to the wrong address. Then when I ordered a wireless router they typed in the wrong code and said it was out of stock. Before it was all finally sorted out they sent me two of everything. However I now have a faultless and fast system. A quick word with customer services I never had a quick one of those till I got through to high level complaints, number from OFCOM. My experience of customer services throughout this saga was very good. They were very sympathetic and helpful whenever I had to contact them. (Partly the reason I got two routers and two wireless routers.) Technical help was 50/50. One very thorough Indian girl who was a bit schocked when I asked to speak to her supervisor so that I could praise her good work. One idiot Indian man whose technical knowledge was less than mine. My problem is not BT but Royal Mail. Out of 5 recorded delivery and 1 special delivery letters sent this year they can prove delivery in only one case.

Aye, because we moved house I was hoping to keep Demon going, but BT b*gg*red that ! I never had a quick one of those till I got through to high level complaints, number from OFCOM. It has to be said, Demon's tech support and Customer Services answred the local rate call on the second ring. The people I dealt with were both extremely capabale and had the answer to my problem in less than 5 minutes. Most impressive - and I told them so. In all my years with Demon I've had free upgrades from 0.5 Meg to 8 Meg broadband (ok BT's line could only manage 5 Meg, but it's the thought that counts) and never had a problem. My one 'regret' is that you get very little web space - and Alison (my wife) comandeered that for her photos. You can probably still get your email, even resorting to web mail if needs be. Unfortunately not. Web Mail was working until 2nd July when it went 'phut' and that was that. No account, no Web mail and no web site. Currently 1 and 1 (1and1.co.uk) are the ones that I registered my dunbar-it.co.uk domain with and they've given me 5 email boxes and a global 'redirect' for everything else - that works. I have 2 GB of email space per mail box and anti-spam and anti-virus. I also get a single free web page (that's one page) so I built a quickie over at www.dunbar-it.co.uk - but it's pretty useless. Alison now has 55 Meg of web space for her photos over at Virgin Media but we have yet to build it from the ashes of the Demon site - and all my QDOS Internals site is gone as well. I feel a bit of work coming on soon. Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Not only is making web sites a local save, but I have maybe 30GB of webspace right now. This also allows my own *free* VOIP linking to my BT line, IMAP mail server and so on.

It is not difficult setting up the required Linux server - a standard Ubuntu install is all that is needed to set up the simple web server. IMAP and Asterisk (VOIP) are a different matters though.

Well, if you are reading this, I might as well try to make it interesting ! Ah well, after saying how wonderful Demon were and how I'd never leave, my recent house move stuffed that up. BT told Demon that I had moved so Demon cancelled my account yesterday (2/7/07) - they did send an email to tell me this - but they sent it to the closed account.
