How were they interfering with your treatment? They were badgering me about my mental health, and taking it upon themselves to "counsel" me in such a way that it made me feel worse. They were prying into my personal life, which is not there area of concern. The people who take care of me ...

What do they say when you leave the room? Awfully brave of you. Nothing. They have their eyes closed, and are too busy communing with their deity of choice to notice. I also try to do so discretely, that is to say, I don't have a Sam Harris lecture playing at full volume on my cellphone while I am ...

Yay! The company financial year year-end backslapping is done and dusted! Am I grateful for these two days away from work! Fish, fruit salad, and nuts were on offer at our Financial Year End Function, but there were two aspects of the CEO's speech that troubled me. He stated that those who only work...

It works! Phew!

I wonder what part is rattling?

Update: it turns out that it was the power supply that was faulty. I bought one of them universal adapter thingies from a nearby electronics store, and verified that the router did then turn on. As luck would have it, when i was walking back to work, i tripped, fell, and my router absorbed some of t...

Thank you, WiK1d.

And it is VDSL but it will be compatible with your current ADSL installation.

Tis' a pity that they do not provide more information about the unit. [Caveat emptor]

Does that device include an ADSL modem?
Are you an MWeb customer?

Will visit my local Telkom Direct store, and ask whether they sell them.

I can get a TP-Link TD-W8951ND locally for R405. Have any of you heard of this brand?

G'day. My long-serving DLink 2640U kicked the bucket last Monday. [Doesn't power up] Naturally, I would rather not be paying for an ADSL service I cannot use, so I would like to purchase a replacement at some stage. I can probably stretch to R300-R400 this month, and around R600 next month. I realis...

I'll just be watching romantic comedies along while crying into a tub of ice cream. I hope that this would be after you have gobbled down that 5kg tub of Rocky Road?

You, sir, are THE MAN.

Happy birthday! :-D What modem were you running and are you going to be looking at buying SP? A standard Telkom one? I don't have much experience in ADSL modems. Good morning, GDI I had a toasty DLink 2640U. Um....if I opt to get it this month, it will be one that costs a maximum of R400. If next m...

Thank you, GDI.

Thanks for the telephone call, Tribbsy.

I did her the courtesy quite early on on making it clear that I am not looking for a romantic relationship.

Niice birdie :D Belix - Dead Space 2? I need to finish that too. Playing Star Trek online at the moment My board should be arriving today. :-D Seeing as my long-serving ADSL router cashed in its service award on Monday, I am going to be looking for a new one before I perform a motherboard transplant.

G'day. It is a lovely wet day here in Slummies. I came across Igor at the shopping across the road from my workplace during my lunchbreak yesterday. The poor dude works in Southernwood. NOT a good area. In other news, my motherboard birthday money has come through, so I'll be getting updated quotes ...

Update:
I eventually managed to win a game of Words With Friends against her. \0/

Still exchanging messages over OKCupid.
