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?

Jesus Appears on UK Drainpipe!

As many of you know it's been rather slow for Jesus and Virgin Mary sightings in 2010 so when I find these apparitions, It makes me smile. This is not your run of the mill sighting that kinda or sorta looks like the Holy Father- this looks like the real deal......or perhaps Jeff Lynne from ELO?

According to the Coventry Telegraph-

The Anglican church say it’s the first time an image like this has appeared in the city but it’s by no means the first time the son of God has appeared elsewhere – in 2006 an image was apparently found on the backside of a terrier named Angus.

Dr. Demento Says Goodbye after 40 Years on the Radio!

Before I ever heard or managed Al Yankovic, I would listen to Dr. Demento a/k/a Barry Hansen on KMET in Los Angeles. His love of novelty songs, coupled with his unique personality was great play for radio. So during my tenure handling Weird Al, I had the pleasure of working with Dr D. and he was exactly like he came off on the radio. His home in the suburbs had a living filled with LP's, and after Al and I parted ways, the Doc wanted to give me back some albums I lent him- nice guy. Over the years, the number of stations Dr. Demento's syndicated show as on dwindled, and sadly, tonite June 13, 2010 will be the last time one will him introduce "Fish Heads" or "They're coming to take me away" or "Another One Rides the Bus". Dr. Demento was a cultural hero for hundreds of thousands who loved novelty records, and wanted to be different. I for one thank him- and will miss him.  His website reports, that his program will now be available on the net- so really all is not lost...:)
