Well there's alot of stuff happening and lots of things I'm learning. But today's entry is not a technical at all :)

News #1: "YahooBB Japan sucks"

Yeah.. I'm without Internet at home until 20th this month. And no, there are no problems with the line being blow up by an anarchist samurai. Not at all! It's just YahooBB decided that since my contract with them ends on 31th of this month, they can just go ahead and disconnect my line on 10th! WTF??

And WTF do they think about when they send me a paper stating "Your contract ends July, 31; ADSL line disconnection was conducted on July, 10. Thank you very much for using our services". Yeah very nice of you to disconnect the line 3 weeks before the contract expires… Spending almost 2.5 hours on phone with the support, shouting and firing nuclear missiles didn't bring any result as support guys seem to be acting according to some service manual ("No, we can not conduct reconnection  until 20th. No you can't send us fax with your clain because we only do support via phone and email.. we are very sorry.. blah-blah-blah"). The only result was that I saved 50 bucks this month on Internet (I don't need to pay this month's bill because of Yahoo's mistake).

Well what I want to say is that if you ever come to Japan and want to connect to Internet here, don't even consider YahooBB Japan services. Because they suck. They make mistakes and they don't carry any responsibility regarding them. Their tech support only available 10:00-18:00, and they don't offer free dial if you call them from mobile phone. Oh well..

News #2: Got the loan!

Well, this one is completely off-topic :) I got a call from the bank today and it looks like our application for the house loan have finally passed! So we will be moving to a new house in the end of this month. Own house. Man.. that's fantastic.. Now the only cloud on this perfect blue sky is of course that there are 35 years of loan repay awaiting me ;) But oh well no pain no gain or whatever :D

News #3: New Ochre's album!!!!!

Ochre have released the new album! Name's "Lemodie" and the genre is IDM (that's for Intelligent Dance Music - a kind of electronic). The guy is incredible and if you're into electronic stuff you should definitely do yourself a favour and listen to some of his compositions. If you want to "try before you buy" you can listen to some freely available mp3's on Ochre's site.
