It’s been seven months since I moved in to mum’s house, and while WauloK made the living-room and dining-room presentable and liveable while I was in my totally depressive state where I couldn’t function (thank you!), I’ve been totally slack. The biggest issue as far as I was concerned was my bedroom, which is the [...]

iiNet quota upgrades.
Posted: 28th April 2010 by Striker in EvilHouse TechTags: ADSL ADSL2, ADSL2+, broadband, iiNet, internet, quota, upgrade
So iiNet has once again come to the party and upgraded their ADSL2+ quotas. This time from 60/60 to 70/70 (70gb peak, and 70gb offpeak). Shaping for Home5 plans and above has also been lifted from 128k to 256k. 140gb of quota per month is a ridiculous amount. EvilHouse doesn’t use anywhere close to this [...]
Sold mum’s car

Well, after fucking about for months, I finally sold mum’s car. A friend of mine, Mark, helped get it running properly again, but nothing could be done about the hail-damage. I’m now down to three cars on the driveway. WauloK’s, my daily driver, and a broken Fairlane Ghia. Cleaning out the car entirely filled the [...]
Lawn care

So I’ve come to the realisation, after being responsible for lawns for the first time in 20 years, that I just don’t want to do it. Truth be told, I’ve always known that I don’t want to mow the lawns, or take care of gardening, but when the front and back yards hit 4 foot [...]
It’s amazing how we take water coming from our taps for granted. This morning I left the house, and there was a water crew digging up a neighbour’s front yard. Water running down both sides of the street, and even bubbling up out of the Telstra pit out the front of my house, flowing in [...]

Wow, two broadband updates in one day. LOLO is back up, and Telstra have processed the line changes, so the line now shows as theirs, and not on iPrimus ULL. Brilliant. The service at the old place is less than six months old, so an ETF (Early Termination Fee) will apply if I relocate it. [...]
I woke this morning to find the message “LOLO is down”. While this may not mean much to most people, to me it means that Telstra’s database, which holds all phone records is unavailable. Without this database, we cannot establish if the records for my phone line have been updated as yet, and as a [...]
If there is one place where you can count on Telstra more than any other, it’s when you want to move to them from another provider. True to their word, the phone service was changed over today, hours before they said it would be. Sure, I’m using them so that I can keep the number [...]
It’s been around two and a half weeks since I’ve heard from Telstra about the phone-line take-back from iPrimus, so I thought I’d give them a call today. A friendly guy named Jason took the call, and was very pleasant in answering my questions. The answer that I’ve been waiting for is that the line [...]
