Huzzah for the ‘Net

Category: Exercise,Geek,Home — Moose @ 6:08 pm

Oh internets, how I missed thee. Long story short, RCN incorrectly disconnected our cable internet service during a service audit. After much hissy-fitting with the company (they cancelled a service call that was supposed to come yesterday, no explanation, no call, no checking to see if the service was actually working or not and, hence, if the visit was actually needed…), it has now (four days later) been reconnected and I/we can join the world of the living again. Stoopid lack of access.

The cult co-op/seller’s agent is supposed to get the docs to my agent tomorrow, so I should have those in my hot little hands tomorrow evening. I hope.

I hope to be able to run on Tuesday. In the meantime, had a good bike ride today, and great weight workout Friday. Backed off on the calf exercises which may have caused the original pull, so keep your fingers crossed there.

That’s life right now, real estate stuff, reading, work, and triathlon.

Still Dead

Category: Geek,Home — Moose @ 10:07 am

The internets are still dead at ye olde homestead. Stoopid cable companies. I didn’t realize how much I use the net for entertainment until it went dead. Hopefully this isn’t a sign of things to come when I have to switch the stuff over from one home to another.

It was semi-useful last night, actually. I took the time to review the various and sundry co-op docs they presented me with yesterday. Interestingly, I got copies of everything except the really useful/interesting docs, namely the bylaws and member’s manual. Goofballs. So I have to contact my agent(s) and have them track those down. I’m all happy to join the cult co-op, but do let me know what it is I’m agreeing to before I sign, kthnxbye.

The Internets R Dead

Category: Home — Moose @ 10:37 am

Right after I posted last night, our cable connection went dead. It seems that Comcast, bless their pea brains, knocked the big cable routing box off the wall on our hall. Didn’t knock out any of their customers, mind you, so they won’t do anything about their actions, but it did oh-so-conveniently knock out the RCN subscribers.

Fuckwads.

Anyway, that prevented me from posting around 8ish when my agent called and informed me that the sellers accepted my offer, no changes. Haven’t set the exact closing date, but it should be in early April, and then I’ll get my stuff moved over in mid to late April. Fun, fun.

Offerings

The offer has been made, now I just sit and wait for the executor of the estate to accept it or counter it (pray for the former).

Tick, tock, tick, tock…
