Phone line started acting up a few weeks ago. Phone would ring for a few seconds, then die out. Turns out the line was so scratchy, the phone was answering calls on its own. Whatever, all I need was the ADSL Internet, so I was hoping the phone service will fix itself. A few days later, the ADSL service started having intermittent dropouts. Time to report in the problem.
My DSL provider came back saying that the linesman made a site visit and has fixed the issue. Well, my lines still dead, and no Internet. With no further action expected, I opened the MDF to take a look myself. True enough, the Telstra guy left a note identifying which copper pair is mine, and indicated that service is working up to this point. I took my handset and rigged it up to the terminals. Yehey, it really works. So the issue is in-house.
Found the culprit to the be the 600 connector-to-RJ11 converter. One of the pins is rusted and bent and not making contact. Used a pocket knife to clean away the rust, and managed to break the pin. Drove to Mitre10 first thing in the morning to buy a P606M module plug. I'm back!
Looks like John Lloyd Cruz can do no wrong. Even for a movie with a one-liner plot, he can make it work:
It's another Kid's Market at Five Dock, and you know what that means. More toys, more books, more DVDs. Not that we need anything. Personally, I just like looking around and hunting down bargains. Fisher Price Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo-Choo train complete with the giraffe, elephant, and monkey figures with the articulated joints and textured feet for only $10? Deal! What about the LeapFrog LittleTouch LeapPad that comes with one cartridge and two books for $5? Bargain! Disney DVDs for $2 and mugs for 50c. These stuff are so cheap, in case Aidan didn't like them, I can use them myself.
Expected better, but was sorely let down. The fact that Kris Marshall was in the movie should've told me something. This movie is a bad cross between Death at a Funeral and The Hangover. It could've been called Drugs at a Wedding or The Hangover Down Under and nobody would've noticed any difference.
