Yes indeed, I have finally found the time to sit down and write something.<\/p>\n
How are you?<\/p>\n
What’s new?<\/p>\n
Me?<\/p>\n
Oh, we’re back on broadband now, obv. We’ve been with PlusNet for six whole nights and they haven’t cut the service off once.<\/p>\n
In your face, BT.<\/p>\n
I could write loads more about BT because, even though we have now moved our broadband to higher ground, and are in the process of shipping our phone service to PlusNet too, BT seem absolutely intent on fucking us over.<\/p>\n
They’ve billed us for a service they stopped giving us last month. And, to make things worse, they’re still taking the money too!<\/p>\n
Utter twats.<\/p>\n
And we had a letter from some complete drongo who claims to be the Customer Service Director for BT; in the letter he says that BT are going to charge us for taking our telephone service away from them.<\/p>\n
Even though BTCare said there would be no charge because of the absolutely fucking awful service we’ve experienced for a year.<\/p>\n
And, get this – no, really, get this – Mister Fucking Customer Service Director for BT says that we’ll *continue* to get charged for the broadband service – the same broadband service that we haven’t been receiving since 10th February.<\/p>\n
BT – you really are beyond a joke.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m not going to moan about them because, let’s face it, that would be an almost full-time pursuit these days.<\/p>\n
So instead I’m going to say that I’m mental at work, putting in a tremendous number of hours a week; I seem to be carrying three major projects and two smaller ones.<\/p>\n
And I’m writing a lot; currently working my way through a backlog of Album\/Singer\/Band reviews.<\/p>\n
And I’m editing audio.<\/p>\n
And I’m editing video for a small engineering company in Banbury; and trying to get acquainted with lighting techniques.<\/p>\n
And I’m going to guitar lessons every Tuesday; yes, I’m trying to improve.<\/p>\n
Trying.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
And the podcasting is going well; the show continues to gain listeners, albeit at a much slower rate than we were picking them up 18 months ago.<\/p>\n
Are we close to hitting our natural ceiling?<\/p>\n
It would be a shame to plateau just shy of a really significant number of listeners, which is where we almost are.<\/p>\n
And interviewing people a lot; I’m potentially interviewing two bands this weekend, if we can get venues sorted out.<\/p>\n
And planning a trip to the US next month.<\/p>\n
And trying to catch up on all my web-based reading.<\/p>\n
So yes.<\/p>\n
A bit busy.<\/p>\n
What’s new with you?<\/p>\n
Here’s a two-minute video to watch while you think about what you’ve been up to:<\/p>\n
