I hate Time Warner Cable!

I have Time Warner Cable in my apartment since April 07, and I fucking Hate it! If only I can get other internet service, but it is impossible since I don’t have land lines phone.

Anyway, let this be a lesson for you guys out there that are thinking about getting Time Warner Cable for internet service and cable Tv, don’t get it from them.

What had happened was that I have been having service interruption from their network since the day I got the damn service. The bad part is that I called them several times and the problem never got resolved. First they told me maybe it was the router than they came here and change it, but that didn’t solve the problem since I always get dropped from the network. Then they say it was because they were updating their network connection, yet I don’t see any of them mofo around here doing anything to any cable outlets or underground system, WTF!!! Then this time around, they told me maybe it is my computer, so I got pissed off and tell them that it can’t be my fucking computer or my PS3 or the Xbox 360 or the Wii, because I built my own computer with way better peripherals that manufactured computers, also the fucking problem is that all off my electronics can connect to my neighbor’s wireless internet but it can not connect to my damn wireless connection, because everytime I’m on it a couple of minutes or hours later that I got dropped from the damn connection that I paid over $100 a month to get.

So, I fucking called them and told them that I need a technician to come over here and fucking take care of it and fix it or fucking take the router back and fuckin return my fuckin money!

Lets just see what happens next wednesday when they come over here and tell me another stupid lame ass excuse why the internet kept dropping me from my damn wireless connection.

Fucking assholes!

Information Architecture.

I know that I have not been up to speed lately with my blogging, it seems that as if time flies through very quickly.

This upcoming tuesday is my third week in Information Architecture class with Ms. Esther Kibby as the instructor. Let me cut to the chase, this class is pretty dry and what I mean by that is that the instructor gives you what you need to know and you are put into groups of at least three the most five people and we were given instruction that we are making a blue print for a website for a company that we are to make. Most people think that this class is boring and that is stupid, but to me, I think its what you make out of it. If you are not interested in learning than most of the time you will think that every class is boring for the most part.

In this class you will need a book by Jesse James Garrett titled ,”The Elements of User Experience.” This book is pretty dry too, but it gets the message done by the amount of information that is given to understand it, even if you have a low user level experience (not much computer knowledge but to use the internet for watching youtube or reading your email and myspace).

Anyway, my group originally consist of four people, but this one girl think that the class is way too boring that she changed her stupid major to something else that doesn’t include or require this class to be taken. So, here I am having three people in my group including me and we had to pick up the slack since I know that it is already in the third week of school and there will be no more students added to the class. Pretty much we are screwed, but like I said its what you make of it. So far my group had been pretty consistent going to the group meeting assisting me in our need to make the steps to make this company happen.

I will be posting some pictures later on as the class progresses and that we are requires to present what we have in our group.

Happy New Year, CES ‘08 and many more to come!

This is a later posting,

Happy New Year Everyone,

This year it will be better than it would last year. The year 2007 was a really bad year for me, death in the family, my best friend died in an accident, I got discharge from the military and everything else in between. Fortunately as an Asian, I don’t believe the number 7 is a lucky number. To most Asians, the number 8 is a lucky number when said and written resembles that of the word “Prosper” or “Wealth.” In the muslim culture, the number 8 is the number of angels that carries the throne of God, in arabic is “Allah” the God who created Adam and Eve. In the Hindu religion, it is the number of wealth and abundance.

This year also the start of my third quarter at The Art Institute of Dallas. Followed by the 2008 Consumer Electronic Show (CES ‘08) from the 7th to 10th of January, which I followed vigorously by watching G4TV Attack of The Show, hosted by Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn (she’s hot for a NERD!).

The main thing that I notice was the introduction of Apple computer’s new Mac Pro, with an outrageous component specs, that would make any gaming pro drools with envy and for art students in AID kill themselves with spending too much money. However, if money is no issue to you, I suggest you nerds, geeks, and the likes to get one.

One of the most anticipated gadget that I have been waiting for is the new Sony OLED (Video – Organic Liquid Emitting Diode) TV. It is so thin that it is only 3mm thick, contrast ration 1,000,000: 1, they don’t need backlighting and it is surely an amazing piece of gadget. Though this is the first time that it had been shown, the price sure is pretty damn expensive, however; with the developing technology around us, I’m quite sure within a couple of years if not months that this all will be affordable for us students at AID.
