I think I don't like challenges when I'm sick.

So, since I'm going for the gold in the category "most useless link of the day": here you can see how much noise is made in my office. I'm actually almost sitting on the device, it's only a meter away. Luckily it'll be removed next tuesday, and it won't be bothering me much.

Gee, it's getting quiet after 17:30. Fascinating...

grahamiam · 20-03-2008, 19:45

what is making 100dBA? You guys rockin' out in that office?

Shabbaman · 20-03-2008, 20:06

That's the calibrator.

This week we got the key of our new house, hurray. So for the last two full months we were trying to get KPN to provide us with internet and digital television. After they cancelled our last order for no apparent reason, again, I decided to go with cable. The girl on the phone promised me it would work instantly, so I'm very curious. Very weird, while we were happy KPN customers for many years, everyone advised against the company. Not so strange in itself, because I know they suck

That even a girl working in KPN management suggested that I should go with Casema does seem weird though.

Ah, KPN digital TV and internet... I know all about that.

My cousin and her fiance live maybe 500 meters west of where I live. I have UPC digital TV, telephone and internet. My cousin has KPN digital TV, telephone and internet. We pay almost the same amount of money each month. I think mine is about 4 or 5 euro's more expensive. My connection works all the time. Literally. I've had one evening in the three years that I have lived at my current address when the digital TV didn't work (but that was scheduled, and we were told a week in advance (something about maintenance, IIRC)). At my cousin's place the digital TV malfunctions about once a month. They've lived there for nearly two years now, so that makes about 20-24 malfunctions.

So, IME KPN sucks. I have no experience with Casema, but I know UPC is good.

Well, a friend of mine used to work for UPC, so from his experience I can tell you that you are lucky

Technically OK, yet an administrative nightmare. I've only had 1 problem with the ADSL ever, and that was when I moved to The Hague. Orange (that leases the ADSL from KPN) forgot/didn't know to assign me a new IP-address. You need that when you move outside your area code area (from 050 to 070).

For now I want address something that some of you might bother as well: spambots (the real ones, not bclg), site design/content and the lack of vB.

I guess most of you haven't noticed it, but Beam actually made the first step towards our shiny future

Thumbs up for Beam. If anyone has a clue how to FTP crap to and from the server let me know, then I'll add you to the tech übernerd subforum (the one without free beer).

can we not all be added anyway or is this to keep it (relatively) clear of spam?
