The Worth of a Guarantee (a sad but true story)
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
Internet problems. Not again. Not after everything I went through before, I thought.
The internet was down, all right. The tubes to my house must have been clogged. I had no choice, I had to call customer service.
I hate calling customer service.
I told the robot on the other end what the skinny [...]
We now resume our regularly scheduled programming
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc.
Things have been pretty busy at Casa de Rage, lately, so I apologize for the dearth of posts. A great many things have happened over the past several weeks, and I look forward to telling you all about them. For now, here is a short summary of things that happened to me while [...]
Good times on the Web
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Gadgets, Misc.
I’ve gushed before about my web browser preferences, but these are exciting times for web surfers. Since the world-wide-web came into existence, web browsers have been like Sith – there are only two…two that count, anyway.

The search for an excellent hotel room is a hard one for the weary road-warrior. I thought I had found one, too. Clean, modern, well decorated.

And my Time [...]

I’ve had my Dash Express GPS for a few weeks now, but I haven’t had the chance to really put it through its paces until last week, went I went down to Houston on business (not “business”). The Dash is unique in that it’s a GPS device with a built in GPRS internet connection [...]
How old is this modem, anyway?
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Gadgets, Misc.
I’ve already chronicled my recent cable internet problems, but some good did come out of the whole situation. I learned that Motorola SurfBoard cable modems have a diagnostic page built in that you can access by visiting http://192.168.100.1 – it even works when your computer is behind a router! If you’re experiencing problems [...]
