Just a short post about my weekend, with nothing really interesting actually. I went for a little time trip and played CS on the weekend for a few hours.  It’s strange, I thought I would suck and would get pwned by schoolies. I was wrong, I am fully 1337. I was pwning n00bs left and right, I was an unstoppable force, maybe I’ll get back into it for a while. The other game I wanted to start up again is warcraft3, classic stuff but I’m certain I suck at that one now. aaaa good times.

You must be asking yourself, what is he on about this time. Well it’s quite simple, I have almost no willpower and because of this I bought myself a PS3 last night with GTA4 and it’s so goooood. I didn’t play it last night for long because my internet connection is finally set up and I spent some time downloading updates and patches from the last 4 months. My first impressions of the PS3 are quite good, it’s bigger than I expected it to be but it seems to be filled with nice little features, nice simple OS interface, wireless controller, wifi, full hd. Tonight, amongst other things the plan is to hook up the fritz box I have to the net and have it connect to all my other appliances; Dream box, PS3 and PC…

I’m very tempted to buy this. If I was to buy this then I would have to buy some new hardware, my options are a new PC, for which I would have to wait a while until GTA4 comes out on PC. a Playstation or an XBox, I can’t really decide which is better… If there is any difference it is rather small. It appears though that the XBox has slightly sharper graphics than the Playstation as can be seen http://www.gamerevolution.com/video/xbox360/grand_theft_auto_iv here in the comparison vid’s. Although the difference is small as the graphics and physics engine is very nice indeed.

I am one step closer to a fully functional apartment. In fact probably the only thing I am missing right now is an internet connection. Oh… and a kitchen, but that can wait for now as I have the appliances needed for most occasions. I have a fridge now, a nice little Beko fridge in which I can keep all sorts of goodies like milk… cheese… ice cubes… juice… the list is endless

When I am able to go online at home I’ll upload some pics. New appt, New floor, New washing machine, New fridge, New satellite dish, Relatively new furniture, Old computer… good stuff…

It’s been over a month since I signed the contract now and I still have no internet connection at home. I do not recommend Orange Freedom for anyone who wants an internet connection. Their customer service is worse than terrible to the extent that they ask me to do their job for them because they don’t know what the status is. They clearly want clients so badly that the customer service professional asked me to contact the sales office where I signed the contract. When I informed him I will not play as an intermediate for him and communicate between companies, he told me that it’s not his job to call people and ask about my connection. So it seems that the customer service in Orange is based on the self-service principle, they clearly can’t be bothered.

So  after a month of non-connectivity I canceled the contract and am now trying for a Neostrada connection with TPSA, we’ll see if this is any faster. Perhaps TPSA has too many difficulties working with other companies.

Needless to say it’s a very frustrating situation. In particular because I have to pay for my phone line connection during this time.  grr…

Thanks to this little problem I have not had time to work on my wonderful project eat.wroclaw.pl. I hope I get it soon as I would really like to keep working on it. The rating system should be live soon! so look out for that.
