Much needed recharge - advertising refresh - iiNet bashing
So, work didn't slow down after Easter as I'd hoped. Rather, it kicked into overdrive and when my co-worker tweaked her neck badly I found myself doing a 50 hour week in a crazy four days. I'd planned on getting out this weekend but kept falling asleep anytime I'd let myself relax even a little. I figure it's my body telling me I'm at the precipice of burnout when I suddenly get such low blood pressure that I was getting blackouts very easily this morning.

I'd spent last night redesigning some of my advertising material in preparation for when I get back into the swing of running MGP as a business. (and replace my camera of course) I'll just upload the tiny low res versions below for you to peek at.

I hope your weekends are as interesting as mine has been sleepy! On that note, I'm off to bed.....
Tomorrow I have more ads to design, more photographers to recruit for the Abbey Medieval Festival Photo Team (so far very few have bothered to apply and I can only assume previous team members who hadn't already done so couldn't be bothered), and a home to clean.

I still have a huge Abbey gallery to compile and upload but with my modem only staying connected for scant minutes at a time due to a huge iiNet fuckup (read: Mark's going to demand refunds on his business account) I cannot upload a full gallery anyway.

I might have to build it locally and take the ext HDD somewhere else to upload it. I'm appalled that I've made literally dozens of calls about the connectivity and only in the most recent call did I FINALLY get a techie who actually knew what he was doing.
My modem keeps connecting to their secondary DNS server that is not even supposed to be publicly accessible and that server keeps restarting my service as it keeps telling my modem to take a new IP address. So, I'm pissed off. The 12 - 16 or so calls before him all tried to say that the length of copper cable from my wall to my pc was to blame and nothing else, completely ignoring that I'd never had this problem with my old Optus ADSL account, or that for 5 days while their secondary DNS server was down my net worked perfectly a couple of weeks ago. I'd like to know why I'd told iiNet employees their secondary DNS server was killing my connection for three months and for three months not one of them would admit that they even have a secondary DNS server!


Below are the promised images of my refreshed logo and an ad I mixed up last night.

Wowee!

I'm pretty sure we're on the same exchange with iinet, not had any issues here, luckily.

mate can you please tell me what your DNS server settings are via email when you get a chance?

I had 1.5hours over the phone support with them and they have no idea what they are doing.

definitely like the first one... the black banner of the second one isnt sitting right with my head - mind you i like to straighten things.

Speaking of abbey - i still have those discs here, i also have Andrews jacket that Odin finally took out of his car. Are you able to come collect them? Travel is still an issue for me most days - at best i could probably swing by a Faith night and leave them at the door for you.

Drop me an email designbyfee at the ISP you are currently hating

I'm usually working 12hr days and therefore not inclined to drive out to the wastelands after work. Just keeping up with immediate family is proving difficult at the moment.

Where are you working these days?

I might know one or two people interested in The Abbey. Let me know if you're still short and I'll get them in touch.
