I was gonna write about something funny that happened on Blokken today but then decided not to.
All in all, despite being sick, it has been a pretty constructive week. I should have my new chair in a couple of weeks, and I’ve got a new modem, which means I’ll get a connection upgrade on Monday.
“Funny story?” you ask? Well, it’s your lucky day! So we’re at the store, right, and my dad goes on one of his patented “Let’s throw fancy brand names at the guy so he thinks I know what I’m talking about” sprees and starts bragging about being “in design” (he does some DTP), so the sales guy slash store owner immediately sees where it’s going and goes “Hey, how about that weather, huh?” Awesome. Simply awesome. So I’ve decided to ignore the fact that he insinuated that I was a heterosexual—twice, actually.
Since my chair is long overdue for replacement, I’ll probably be getting a Håg H04 4600 soon. I really don’t see why people keep going on an on about Italian design—believe me, I have seen my share of it—while Scandinavians and Germans are the only ones who seem to realize minimalism, modernism and avant-garde are where it’s at. And that’s ignoring what the Dutch have been up to for a while now.
Right, well, whatever. I just ordered ExpressNet Turbo. Now I have to wait for my ISP to contact me (within 5 working days) to arrange a date for them to come install a new modem. You’d think they would at least activate my new subscription already in the meantime—especially since I exceeded my quota and I am currently connected at a whopping 4 KB/s downstream, which is severely laughable compared to the 20 megabits I am getting. But I can wait … I guess.
Incidentally, I have a bad cold. I shouldn’t even be online right now. But what are you gonna do.
So can anyone give me a good reason not to switch to ExpressNet Turbo (from “regular” ExpressNet)? I usually order about 10 extra gigabytes of monthly quota anyway, so in the end, it’d add a mere €10 to the monthly bill—without the hassle of maintaining quota settings. In exchange for that, I would get no less than 4 times my current download speed (a rather whopping 20 megabits), and, more importantly, 30 gigabytes of monthly downstream quota—60 if I only download at night. Granted, it’d still be a tad expensive, but it seems like a better deal than the current one. Am I missing any fine print here? Help me decide!
Oh yeah, bitch! Eat it! 1,614 points and counting. I totally rock at Settlers of Catan. Wewt and all that jazz.
