a week later, finally get a response from ubi support after my terse reply to their copy-paste "try the troubleshooting steps on the website" initial reply (that they took more than a day to send me). going to continue on down that path anyway in hopes they might fix the driver problem that i've had since the beginning along the way. but i don't hold out much hope. i already ordered a different cable from amazon and will apply the hack to let me use it once i get my bass fixed. if it had been the old one, i'd crack it open and try my hand at fixing it myself, but i'm not doing that for the first time on my baby. it could use a professional setup anyhow. i can't get the damn fret buzz out of it and it's already got substantial relief. to the point where i wonder if it might be bad for the neck.

Just decided to pull the plug and buy a 3D printer kit, Prusa i3 rework.

Shipping says 2-4 weeks...

...from a warehouse 20 minutes down the road.

Today, completed a case in which I cost a company who broke the law a pretty reasonable sum of money. Two years of my life into that file... Always nice to get a resounding win out of it.

Klaustrophobia · **Reply #28703 on:** November 04, 2014, 03:21:25 am

chain of support thus far (with response time):

Me: detailed description of problem, steps taken so far on my own to try to fix it, clear statement that i had read and followed all troubleshooting steps provided on the website

UBI (2 days): copy-paste of troubleshooting section of support site. complete with uninserted [insert here] tags.

Me: read what the hell i'm writing and stop wasting both our times. i told you ALL of this already. i did this so as to avoid this pointless first round of messages. now what, if anything, can you ACTUALLY do to solve this? continue to waste my time and there's no chance i'm giving you $30 for a replacement.

UBI (1 week): Sorry. We were just being "thorough" by doing no thinking at all. send us dxdiag and msinfo files. (copy-paste instructions that don't even match the actual submission process)

Me: files. no words.

UBI (2 days): copy-paste of another troubleshooting step. the one i went into the MOST detail about performing in my original statement.

i haven't the will to formulate a response to that yet. open to input.

I don't suppose I'll be reading about it in the Vancouver Sun eh?

@Klaus,

If possible, give them a call. I find email support for most companies to be almost entirely useless. Might be worth a shot.

Flawless breakups are the best breakups.

He's been struggling but I really appreciate how understanding the guy is. She says that him and I are very similar. They are still very good friends. It's essentially the best case scenario.

Lorric · **Reply #28709 on:** November 04, 2014, 05:11:19 pm

The guy really sounds like a class act. I wonder if you could even manage to get along with how unusually understanding he is.

Unlikely. possible, but unlikely.

Took a crap. Said crap went off like a cork in a champagne bottle of flatulence. Immediately thereafter, I was treated to a river of scorching hot fecal liquid. My butt burns.

In pleasanter news, I started an IT course in September. Doing well so far, though I seem to be the only non Facebook-sheeple in there...

Also, cramps while sleeping; f*** those things.

Bass spontaneously started working again. Don't know whats up with that. Still getting some noise from it, so might still take it to a shop to get checked out.

Boomer20 · **Reply #28713 on:** November 05, 2014, 02:48:38 am

Excluding exams I have now finished my Bachelor of Science (Biological Science) Degree. And I'm feeling good

Now have time to get back to FREDing and various other creative outlets.

Gratz on making it out of the 12th circle of hell! Now welcome to the 13th...

LHN91 · **Reply #28715 on:** November 05, 2014, 03:43:11 pm

Looks like I'm walking back into one of the circles of hell as well. Looking at living with the fiancés parents for 6 months or so to save money for a house down payment. Sick of renting.

Thanks, fortunately I have been doing work experience in the local hospital and now have some contacts and inside advice into trying to find a job. It may be the 13th circle of hell but it will at least provide (hopefully) me with the lifeblood of modern day living [money].

Klaustrophobia · **Reply #28717 on:** November 06, 2014, 08:48:10 am

Goddamnit, I just knew it, they're trying to kill us all!

FireSpawn · **Reply #28719 on:** November 06, 2014, 12:04:43 pm

I'm back to spoil and defile GenDisc once again!

Work has been good, and I have less than a month to decide if I want to move onto a 12 hour shift, 4 data a week with the ability to do overtime, or stay in my current 7.5 hour days with no overtime and working 5 days a week.

I also have my mum's birthday on Saturday after I get a crown fitted on my tooth. Then on the 11th is my father's funeral.

And to top it off, I'm going to Harry Potter land next weekend!
I wonder if the Mirror of Erised will show me the secret to Ubuntu...
