Small talk & Chit chat

I would say I am shocked but sadly I am not, I have seen what happens in the background and sadly it's not always BT/OR's fault fully.

Sadly some of the contractors they use, say they have laid the fibre but when customers try to sign up, they find there is no fibre in the ground, then BT/OR have to get another company to come in quickly and fix the issue, whilst they try and claw the money back from the original contractors.


The upside of it is I phoned EE and they said as OpenReach gave the go ahead it is now their responsibility to deliver and for every day they don't I get compensation of £9, Silver lining ^_^
 
So an Open Reach engineer who seemed quite passionate about his job came round and sorted it all out, I told him of the previous person and he said he likely couldn't be bothered so came up with excuses.

Turns out the building was already wired up and I just needed a wire from my place down to the buildings utility closet that houses all the fiber stuff.

So I'm increadably happy as I had a most unexpected day yesterday, the previous evening I was playing some Star Citizen with a couple of mates and they were oohing and ahing over their new OLED monitors and one of them said "Don't you have one?"and i said nope and he said why not and I said I can't afford one, so anyway the mate who asked that just upgraded his 27"LG Ultragear to an MSI 32"4K OLED, so yesterday when I got up there was a message to call into his shop, and I thought he must need some help with something, I get in there and we're chatting a bit then he vanishes out the back and comes back with his LG and puts in on the counter and I thought he was going to demo it for me or something and then he completely floors me by saying it's mine, I geniunely couldn't belive my ears as he just gave me an LG OLED! It's 27"2560x1440 240Hz and stunning, I played Star Citizen on it last night and was blown away, I thought my VA panel was good this thing just eats it alive, yeah can't belive my luck and I'm pinching myself this morning at it's real I now own an OLED.

I'd be careful putting your IP in to the wild on screenshots, last thing you want is some wannabe deciding to just attack you.

That's fantastic, What a mate ! OLED in Star Citizen really shines.

Had a bit of a bugger with the PC yesterday.

I bought some new parts for it. Namely three new intake fans, one rear fan, and a GPU holder thing (the Asus one was on sale).

Fitted it all* and one of the fans was not spinning. Spent three hours looking for an unplugged fan, only to find I had cut through two of the wires on one when removing cable ties. Managed to solder it in situ, as changing it would have meant removing the entire roof. I had already spent several hours taking the entire front off. I moved the GPU rad to the side inside (draws air through the side panel and a filter) instead of having it in the front.

* I had an issue day one. I fitted three intakes to the front (the 140s that came with the case) and a 360 rad to the opposing side of said intake. Well one of the fans was hitting the fan frame (it is flimsy, very disappointing in a case costing so much) so I had to open the side glass panel to stop it scraping. Meaning it was filling with dust fast.
