The tale of changing DSL providers
At the beginning of 2004 I made the decision to change from my internet provider, Tiscali, and get a new one, Cybercity. Now, a few months later it seems evident that Tiscali don’t want to let their customers go, and Cybercity don’t want new customers.
I have now decided to publish my journal of the tragicomical events in this tale (in danish). Sadly, I didn’t have enough common sense to write everything down from the beginning, so the journal isn’t complete.
The bottom line of the story so far, is that I feel lied to and neglected by my (perhaps) coming ISP - even before becoming a customer.
Death of the referrer tracker
Sigh, yet another jerk decided to spam every single goddamn entry on this website pretending to be referred from a certain URL (which gives an error 404, good job!) hammering the final nail in the referrer trackers coffin.
I will no longer record or display referrers on my entries. I am not willing to provide Google juice to referrer abusers, neither am I willing to waste my time trying to limit the amount of fake referrals. This saddens me since I have found a good deal of interesting sites by following those referrals - not to mention I will be missing the stroking of my ego every time someone follows a link to my humble site.
Feel free to contact support@visualsoftsys.co.uk and sales@visualsoftsys.co.uk and tell them what a bunch of inept twits they are. “Visual Software Systems - marketing results you can see” - not on my website you can’t.
Actually, since I have no way to prove that it is actually Visual Software Systems behind the abuse I am naturally not recommending or suggesting that anyone should take any action against or judge said company.
