On Noes!!
Well this is just great. Less than 1.5 hours remaining on my membership, and I can't purchase the extension.
Paypal sez NO!
"We were unable to verify this credit card through our card validation process. To proceed with checkout, please verify the information you entered is correct or try a different card."
This is an all-access Visa gift card that I received for graduation. And no, it hasn't expired. (Or at least, shouldn't have.)
This will be the first time I've been without a membership since the half-year free trial. I don't think I'm going to make it in time for Lummox's contest, (though I didn't have much confidence in winning anyway) and my standings aren't so hot in Blobble, and I only have 78 BYONDimes remaining. (I still believe I submitted that library to BYONDscape before the policy change. Meh) I'll think of something. >_>
*teh blogz r nao on highatus* (Meaning you probably won't notice any difference.)
Yota: I'll miss you, pager! 
Pager: I will miss your money. Now go away.

More Bandwidth Fun
Well. I found the internet crawling again when I took my break to check on
SSBB, so I took a speed test. (Using the recommended server again.)
Test 1: 512ms ping. After the ping phase, it just sat at the download phase doing nothing. Eventually I refreshed.
Test 2: Wouldn't even load the server list. Refresh.
Test 3: Got the servers, but couldn't get past the ping step.
Test 4: >600ms ping. No download again.
Test 5 or so: Can't ping!
Test
n: ~550ms ping. The download phase finally began. It took a while, so I wasn't there when I first started. Once I noticed it was running, I saw it at 1kbps with a flickering 2. It was at 2%. I left again, came back a few minutes later. It was steady at 1kbps, and at 7%. After sitting for another minute or so, it dropped to 0kbps, and remained so until I had to give up. It eventually got better again later in the day, but this lasted a while. Someone better fix this soon. My boss very rarely allows us to take the rest of the day off in these situations.
Oh, and I'm still on mandatory overtime. Been four to five months of 58 hours per week now, and I can see how my personality is heading south.

Ran a Speed Test at Work
I work at a telecommunications company. Bask in all its...
...shame. (No, I do not work at Time Warner. [I h8 u A0l!] That's just the ISP... which probably explains the following.)
OK, this I'm not being all so fair. We've been having some network trouble in the past month. Right now the internet speed is slowing to dialup rates, but it is better than the complete loss of connection to the internal network we were experiencing before. Hope things clear up soon. I can't even listen to my lovely
internet radio. (Which I'm probably not supposed to be doing... shhhhhhhh)
In defense, we usually get half a megabit of internet on weekdays. With around eight on the weekend. Not sure what the weekend will be like with these network issues.
