No rent for all of the month of February = SIGH.
Increased strata = SIGH.
No rent + Increased strata = UNBELIEVABLE SIGH!
Screw you LJ Hooker.

This is what I posted on a friend’s Facebook wall:
mate, i had a dream last night about installing a linux distro on a piece of crap laptop with all sorts of exotic hardware. and then you were there, and russ was there too and she said you bought her a laptop with oem ubuntu and it ran cleanly. i then played with unity and you guys said it was just like a normal window manager.
I miss being able to mess around with Linux.

$38 million lottery winner vows to keep working after scooping bumper jackpot.
I’m sorry. You should give the money to someone else who wants it more and would not waste the chance you’ve been given.

I wanted to fire up my Starcraft2 game last night to play it. But NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! the game wouldn’t start because I needed to connect to the internet to verify my copy. WTF?!!!! You know why I wanted offline single player mode Blizzard? Because I don’t have an internet connection. Sigh!
So I played a round of Legion TD with that Nature race and I was shit. Haven’t played it for so long. Only got up to level 18 or 19.

I haven’t been making frequent or even worthy updates recently.
It’s because I have been sigh sick again. This time it has meant that I missed the biggest party of the year in Samoa so far (the After Party event). I even got multiple txts from my workmates telling me that I should come out despite the fever and bad stomach because it was not to be missed. š
But Sal comes soon. š Woot.

This one hit me unexpetedly hard. CmdrTaco quits Slashdot
I’ve been going to the site for years now, and always spending an obscene amount of time there. It feels like another part of my youth is gone. Especially reading the summary he put up of all the big posts and discussions that’s happened on Slashdot, and all the old timers coming out of the woodwork to comment. Good luck CmdrTaco…thanks for the slash and the dot, and for getting me onto Linux.

For fucks sake. I’ve waited 45 mins for service. There were only 3 customers ahead of me, so I can only surmise they take their sweet fucking time abt shit.
Now I’m waiting again because when I finally saw a customer rep, they said they are not trained in stores to deal with it and I need to phone customer service.
Update:So it took me a total of 1hr+ to get it sorted. All I wanted was to change my plan to the cheapest amount which would cost me the least for the coming year factoring in any penalties I needed to pay. In the end, I had to basically look at the plans myself, workout the penalties and potential savings myself, and then tell them what plan to change to. So where is the “service” in customer service? They may as well have built an automated web based system to do this if waiting for 1hr for a human doesn’t really give me any extra information.

Itās gotten to a point now that I am getting more and more tired and unmotivated. Even to post on this great Ultimate Sigh blog. For a while now Iāve been meaning to post something on my recent Mageia transition from Mandriva 2010.2. But I just canāt be bothered. Instead I attempted to get Legion TD going over a Hamachi network so I can LAN play with Ngai.
What started off as potentially a quick game of LAN at 8 didnāt see us playing until 1130, a full 3.5hours later that night. It all stemmed from the fact that I didnāt have legitimate keys to play on Battle.net, but still wanted to multiplayer with Ngai. After changing network configurations, turning off firewalls, Ngai reinstalling War 3, Frozen Throne and patches in his Windows partition, we still didnāt get it working. I had to get a cd key changer and use someone elseās keys to go on Bnet. But even then we couldnāt get into a game with each other until Ngai fiddled around with port forwarding. All this just to play 30minutes of the game before my wireless got cut for a while. Itās a sigh even though we were trying to be sigh free.

This sigh is an ultimate mega super sigh to the extreme. My strata is already a whopping $495.95 per quarter, for a 1 bedroom apartment in a complex with nothing except a lift as an amenity. Now I have a notice that it will be increased by another $400 to $470 per quarter!!
This increase in strata will take my quarterly fees up to $900 – $970 for the next 5 years. The reason for this massive hike (almost doubling) is that the building needs to undergo extensive defect remediation. The builder, who is dodge to the extreme, has basically declared bankruptcy and cannot fund the repairs. Despite, of course, the building still being new enough to fall under “builders’ warranty”. Pretty frustrated at the good money down the drain. It is time to sigh.
