Monopolies suck. TDC sucks. It’s also a monopoly.

The reason I suddenly vanished for so long (for the second time…) is because of them. Their internet is only up to 2mb/256k, and that’s for non-home customers, plus lots of blocked ports, and very expensive. So we always went for other ISP’s that offered much better service. Our new ISP is going to be 24mb/1mb and all open ports, and cheaper. Now, TDC owns all the lines, cables, wires, what-have-you and for a long time didn’t let other companies use them until the government stepped in and said they have to let others use them.

Hmm, pretty much: TDC takes FOREVER to route shit to other ISP’s so they can set their customers up. It’s a dirty tatic to try and force people to use TDC anyway because of the wait. Normally it takes TDC up to 6 weeks just to even glance at your order and flip a few buttons. Next week our ISP said we’ll be online. Finally. After 8 weeks.

I am not moving for a long time after this mess. >_<

The funny ended a year ago. Wait, they weren’t that funny then either because everyone said them, and… hold on, they weren’t funny. So even though everyone said them, none of it was funny to begin with so it was a cesspool of crappy jokes and facts.

In fact, adding Chuck Norris facts or jokes to anything completely ruins the joke. It’ll most likely end with a roundhouse kick. Ha ha. Hilarious.

Since December, it has snowed — began melting — snowed again (so you have a nice layer of snow>ice>snow, etc), and today a blizzard came in… pretty violently. The snow was blowing not only diagonally, but upwards sometimes too.

So I decide to head up to IO-Interactive around 3:30pm today to drop a package off for Lance and head up to an American Import store (mountain dew! pop tarts! Oreos! Oh how I miss home!) and possibly take some pics of the city. Here is a list of events:

• Wait for bus to get to IO in blizzard
• Get off bus and walk rest of way to IO in blizzard
• Walk to bus stop from IO to get to city square, blizzard is calming down
• Bus takes 20 minutes to arrive, now the sky is shooting ice instead of snow.
• Get off bus at city square, take some pics, walk down the “Walking Street” to an American Import store.
• Get halfway to store, begins raining hard.
• Get to store, CLOSED ON MONDAYS. Still raining.
• Walk to Nørreport Station to catch bus to go home.
• Busses are packed and slow, so waiting takes 10+ minutes and I wait through 4 busses because they are all packed. Finally get one
• Walk rest of way home from bus stop, in ice (only about 5 min from that stop though)

So, I got snowed on, iced on, rained on, then iced on again, all while walking around for about 3 hours total. Bus times only took about 5 - 10 minutes in trip besides from home to IOI.

Insane.

Most pics came out blurry, I guess my camera got re-adjusted in my pocket, I’ll have to do it again, but will post pics later of what came out decent.

I’m about to rain on everyones happy web 2.0 parade, but bluntly put: The wordpress 2.0 dashboard, more specifically (if not exclusively) the write post/write page forms, suck.
