Day 317: Tech Support
15 Nov
Internet’s been wonky since the move. I’m having some issues with phone jacks and then had some issues with my AT&T username and password. I actually got someone helpful from AT&T on the phone at 2 a.m. The only hitch is that she told me to stop using Mac internet sharing to juice my laptop and buy a wireless router because I’m only authorized to use my internet on one computer. Um, huh? Yeah, I’ll be ignoring that magnificent nonsense. And now I notice that they’ve got my DSL settings set to slack-ass instead of the moderately speedy I’m paying for, so it looks like I will make some more phone calls next week. But for now, I’m a go. Even if it’s a slow go, and in the dining room instead of the office.
Darn you, AT&T! (Blogged about similar issues earlier this month.)
