rip.

i wish i knew what to say life is too damned unfair....

Update:

Never heard from the RR supervisor on Wednesday. Thursday morning I called and left him a message explaining that I would be out of the house all day and most of the next. I asked him again to email me with any information/follow-up on this issue.

Thursday evening I had an email from him explaining, basically, that it wasn't something on RR's end but that the university had DNS problems during the time I reported having the problem. He went on to say that everything should be fine now (read as: it isn't us, it's the university, we're done with this!) .

fucking great. So after reading that I tried again to bring up the university web site. No joy. Same shit. So, up to this point I have called RR tech support, gone down to their local offices to speak with someone in person, and then waited two days to hear back from them. And I'm still in the same place I was when this began.

I looked around a bit. I found some addresses of other RR name-servers. I shouldn't have had to but I did. I modified my standard network configuration. Guess what? It worked. Only AFTER making non-standard changes to my network configuration did the trouble stop.

Next steps:
- pursue the issue of the breakdown in technical support with RR. I maintain they cannot refuse support to anyone simply based on a user's choice of operating system.
- bitch at the university. Time and time again the university has shown itself to be incompetent in its treatment of standard network services. From technical support reps who cannot help with simple issues to the school's web site serving up incorrect pages to this peek-a-boo domain nonsense. I am afraid of what their next folly may be.

At least since yesterday I've had a bill from RoadRunner sitting on the counter. It says on the envelope, "Account Information - Open Immediately." Through the plastic address window is the pink familiarity of a pay-us-or-get-disconnected letter.

I am uncomfortable paying this bill now. I mean, apparently I am not worth as much to them as a Microsoft or Apple user is. Remember when I heard back from RR? I wrote the supervisor a reply in which I asked him what other nameservers were available. I must've asked on September 16 or 17. Still haven't heard from him.

Either their billing should reflect the fact that I am receiving less service than other users or their technical support policies must change.

I think what I will do is return this bill to them unopened but wrapped in a relatively polite letter explaining what they can go do.
