We think it. We do it.
Twitter / alexfalk- alexfalk: Some really great stuff at the Kohler Arts Festival in Sheboygan this past weekend: http://www.jmkac.org/ArtsFestival
- alexfalk: MindTouch Deki "Kilen Woods": Wow. Always wow. Continued great stuff and evolution from Mindtouch.
- alexfalk: Get started reading about it all here: http://techdirt.com/articles/20080721/2137271750.shtml
- alexfalk: Leave TW feedback on their tiering moneygrab here: http://www.timewarnercable.com/GoldenTriangle/products/internet/selectplan/feedback.html
- alexfalk: Disgusting and greedy: http://www.timewarnercable.com/GoldenTriangle/products/internet/selectplan/ $1/GB for overage? 40GB cap MAX? Insane.
- alexfalk: US Cellular actually says the phones (MotoQs and Blackberries) WILL NOT WORK AT ALL without the data plan attached. I call BS...
- alexfalk: USCC, coverage-wise, is her only reliable option. She'd like Outlook syncing of her contacts/calendar on a phone... But not @ $300/yr extra.
- alexfalk: btw, is US Cellular just too lazy to lock down their network to offer ANY smartphone w/o the extra $25/mo "web access" plan addon? Stupid.
- alexfalk: Well, caller ID seems to finally be fixed now. No idea if it's finally fixed from one of the first two times I called, or from yesterday...
- alexfalk: (clearly, I need to call back and get someone competent on the phone...)

- TWCMKECblMdmLog: http://tinyurl.com/5sufyj
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: Making some headway.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: Got a call from Matt w/ TW's "Solutions Team" regarding our longstanding issue. Reviewing things to find out where it all fell apart. Good.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: TWC bill due soon. no idea which of the 4 we've received is THE bill, or how much we ACTUALLY owe. Simple billing? Riiiiiight.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: I'll walk the lawn tomorrow sometime and see how it looks.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: The QA guy's job is apparently nothing more than verifying the line is buried. He carried no testing gear.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: No call ahead to let us know when they're coming. Service down, deal with it, apparently.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: No one knocked or rang to warn us about service cutting out, ask us if it was back up, APOLOGIZE for it being on the lawn for > 15 mo ...
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: A "quality assurance" van from TW showed up after the contractors did their thing. He walked the yard and was gone in <5 mins.
- TWCMKECblMdmLog: Cable was FINALLY (totally reinstalled and) buried on Thursday 24 April, btw. Hey, it was ONLY laying on the lawn for over 15 months. Crazy.
