A tip to all outages.org members. Do you want your connections to come back up immediatly? Send a sarcastic outage report to outages.org chastising your provider and like magic, your connection will come back up.
well, I dunno; that's what I was trying to do with my Nextel posting the other day, and it's *STILL* down up here; on top of which my partner has a CDMA QChat nextel phone and DC doesn't roam for him... *and* while my SMS to the states works fine, all of *his* SMSs in both directions are delayed over half an hour; I've already missed at least one good Worldcon event because for all we pay them every month, they've left us *no* working way to communicate with one another in real time. I'm probably flying home via Lenexa; I really feel the need to get in a suit's face about this; we are *not* paying for this month. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
