TWC COO Robert Marcus- This is my Time Warner Customer Service Nightmare for you!

Hopefully Robert Marcus COO of Time Warner Cable will find out about this post.

 

What a nightmare with a TimeWarner Cable representative tonite. All I wanted was information on Wideband service in my area.  When I truly couldn't understand the representative through her thick accent. I asked to speak with someone else. I was told there was no one else available- and that I could understand her. Then I requested a supervisor- and was told that one was not available.  All the time I was calm and collected- despite the continuation of the CSR saying I could understand her- but couldn't. To know avail- I was put on hold twice- and didn't get the wideband information I had wanted.  I don't know if Time Warner is outsourcing their CS division- but for a CSR to argue with a customer is wrong.  I think a call into COO Robert Marcus on Monday would be appropriate.  As an aside, I also was attempting to chat online at the same time- but after an hour- I started at number 4 in the queue, and was still second in line.  Haven't had this much fun on a Saturday night since......well it motivated me to write a blog post!

Having Problems with HP ePrint Wireless/Web Printers? You are NOT ALONE!

Real quick. Bought an HP c310a Wireless printer last weekend. It is the kind that allows you to send via the web thru an email address documents to print via ipad, cell phone, or another computer. Cool eh?  After setting it up. Everything worked perfectly. The next morning the lcd screen wouldn't launch the printer from the sleep mode. So I contact HP- and somewhere from far away- I was given alot of instructions- What worked was unplugging the printer from a power strip- and plugging it in the wall.  

In the meantime for the past 3 days- I, myself, and me- along with hundreds of thousands who purchased HP ePrint capable printers have been SOL. No message on the eprint web site, and when you contact customer support- they give you a multi-step scenario....but to no avail. The HP Forum board has over 26 pages of comments- yet- there is no offical notice on the site. Nothing, Nada, Zilch.

It looks like HP has been using early adopters as beta testers, and wanted to rush this product out for holiday sales to pump up there 4Q numbers. Well...it ain't working. 

If you are thinking about buying any HP printer with ePrint- WAIT!  I am not saying don't buy it. Just not right now.  I love the printer- and can't take it back because i threw away the packing material- thinking it would work right.

Oops- now I find that even after plugging the unit directly into the wall- the sucker still won't wake up.

UPDATE 12/11 5:50 am  After uninstalling, reinstalling software, uninstalling reinstalling eprint and web services- I was able to test print remotely from 3 locations. Not to be a skeptic- but I will claim success if this lasts a full week.  The HP forum was more helpful than email tech support!

If you are having problems- by all means post here or on the HP ePrinter Forum

Thoughts on Burger King and T-Mobile's G2 Android Phone

Those sing-song Burger King commercials make me still want to stay away from the fast food outlet. Banal at best- What was the focust group looking at.

 

I noticed that T-Mobile has released a Google G-2 Android Phone. Ironic isn't it- that about two years ago- the original Android Google G-1 was released by T-Mobile and those two year contracts are up!  Good Marketing?

Kimberly Senette Gets 10 Days in Jail for Wearing Low Riding Pants to Court!

Kimberly Senette appeared at a recent court date accompanying her brother- Kimberly wore low slung pants that the judge felt "disrespected" the court. When She got up to leave the court, her panties and the top of her buttocks were revealed- which Steve Windhorst found her in contempt.  Kimberly says she took her belt off when going thru the metal detector at the courthouse entrance. Judge Windhorst- felt 10 days in jail would change her attitude!  Note: No pictures of Kimberly Senette have appeared in searches as of the posting of this blurb.

Judge denies Gary Guy Mathews Name Change to "Boomer The Dog"

Gary Guy Mathews likes dogs so much, he impersonates them for a living- so he decided to  petitionthe court to have his name changed to "Boomer The Dog". But Common Pleas Court Judge Ronald W. Folino told the 44 year old man, that he couldn't change his name to the title of a 80's sitcom- because it would cause confusion.  What a waste of the court's time....Wouldn't you agree.

What's Up? Time Off from Blogging Brings Serenity to My Life Again!

Many longtime readers may have noticed, that stories have been quite infrequent lately?  That's because- I wanted to see what life was like without being on the computer 24/7 looking for stories to post. In fact during this period, I started listening to classical radio. The results are in- and my life appears to me to be more serene- then ever.  Not hearing about the latest mass murders, corrupt public official, or downturn in the economy didn't affect me one iota.

But this blog has been a labor of love - part-time for the last 3+ years.....and when I find those stories that turn my light on- I will be posting them still.
