It’s been a while since I posted on here, so I’ll give yous an update on what I’ve been doing.
For the past week I’ve been working on a new website I’m starting, it’s a social network site called Twivo, it’s going to be something like MySpace but better looking and more stable.
Twivo.com
Beta Registrations will be open in the next month or so.
Heres a small video of my Linux PC, I might make another showing more stuff later.
Well, I swore I would never use Linux, but I just couldn’t stay away from Beryl, it’s freakin’ awesome, 3D Desktop, Wobbly Windows, and more, I will post a video of me messing around later..
Well, Basically this is my day:
Well what do you know? They activated the Broadband, And almost a month later, I’m surprised they are still in business…
I have been using Telstra/Bigpond for a year now, But when I used Dodo Internet I had many problems, either I cannot connect or I couldn’t get to any website.
Their support techs say to restart the computer, change settings, reinstall the modem, check the phone line, anything they can think of that is computer-internet related, The one thing I would of loved to ask them was, “My internet was working 5 minutes ago, In those 5 minutes the only thing I have done is picked up the phone and called you, I have done nothing to my computer, modem or phone line, Why do you insist the problem is on my end?”, Yes, I know all Internet Providers are like that.
And these problems weren’t those little ones that are ok after a few minutes, sometimes they lasted for hours, and not once a months, I had problems getting to websites at least 3 times a day, and not just 1 or 2 sites, I mean every website I tired to get to, and half the time, it took minutes to load a webpage, as if I was using a 2kbps connection.
My Mother uses Dodo, Now she doesn’t use the internet much, so she hardly has problems and just tells me “Thats what you think, Other people probably don’t have problems like me”, So I reply to her with “But you hardly use the internet”, and to end it she just says “Yeah well oh well…”, In fact, many people do have problems.
And a few weeks ago, she applied for Broadband, sadly with Dodo, and she is still using Dial up, Did I mention she applied weeks ago?,
Lets go over the process of getting Broadband,
1. Check line/exchange computability: A few days.
2. Get the hardware: She already had a modem.
3. Wait for the ISP to setup and activate the service: A few days to a week.
Now this is around 2 weeks ago, and as I stated before, She is still using Dial up, and still thinks Dodo have great service.
This is from Dodo’s website, “We have emerged from the mists of antiquity to provide every Australian and every Australian business with the very best service at the most competitive price on the market.”,
with the very best service? Ok, It took My ISP(Bigpond) a few Hours to setup my Broadband, and my Grandmother’s ISP(iPrimus) a week,
And they say with the very best service on their site? its been almost a month since she applied for Broadband, what kind of service is that?
I will post an update if and when they activate the service.
Me be busy, Busy playing Star Wars Galaxies, working on some of my sites and doing some coding for my scripts I’m working on: Exero CMS and Tivia Core.
Sure, RegisterFly may look good, but what are they like under all that fancy looking crap on their site? Well, let me tell you.
Ok so i get an email saying one of my domains are expiring soon, so i go to renew it, but of course they are changing the way they are doing renewals and transfers so it says “You are transferring from RegisterFly to RegisterFly yada..yada..yada, and that it will take 1-5 days to complete and that I may get an email to confirm the transfer.
so I wait a day, the next time I check my email it says failed, reason being: ” ” (thats right, nothing, zip, nada) So I try it again after making sure I have all my emails in my mail client, that fails again, so I enter a ticket about it and get no response(3 days later still no reply) that fails again, I look at the status page for these and it says “CANCELED” on all of them, now here I’m thinking to myself what the heck are they doing? so I do it again after making yet another ticket about it with still no reply from the other ticket even though they say to only enter one about the same issue - well I’m past caring about that crap because my domain expires within a week.
I then try for another renewal and I’m still waiting too see how this goes, I then click on the menu link labeled “Live Sales Chat [Online]“, ok now this is where it gets really good and the main reason you should not use RegisterFly, It asks me to send them a message, so I enter my name, email and my problem and wait, check my email and whats this? an email from their postmaster stating that my email was not delivered to livechat@registerfly.com reason being:
Unable to deliver message.
Error message: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17)
and the rest of the email:
To: regfly livechat@registerfly.com

Now wait a second here!
Did that just say When you were offline (via LivePerson)?! but I thought the website said Live Sales Chat [Online]? Looks like someone screwed up, So not only am I angry about not being able to renew my domain, I cannot get in touch with their support desk, and those tickets still have not been replied to either.
What happens when you use a fly to renew a domain?
Nothing, a fly cannot renew a domain.
So who should you use? GoDaddy in my opinion.
Ok, thats it this phone is a PIECE OF SHIT, not only does the battery not last a week (the extended battery that is), the god damn phone forces you into using 24 hour time format, has the hang up button in a stupid spot, but the damn settings of the phone, messaging, hardly any god damn control over it, i want to set my messaging interface to NOT have the damn auto complete crap on it, i have to switch through the formats of text, If anyone asked me about the phone the first thing id say is “its a ripoff, don’t get it”
I decided to download and install Firefox 2 beta 2, the new tabs look great,
and the close button ON the tab is much better, no more closing more than 1 tab by mistake anymore.
I got a new mobile today, Its the LG KG800 “Chocolate” one, its an awsome phone!
Some of you know i started another project…. KingBB, This is more advanced then eBB.
It has a more advanced template system, better user system and Language Selection!!
I’ll put up a dev blog for it soon.
