Worst luck by far.... - freerider - 11-08-2008 08:35 AM
Well some of you may have noticed that I have been pretty scarce over the weekend....
On Saturday I mowed the lawn as planned and took out the "for sale" board so that I could cut the grass properly, when I was done I got a hammer out the garage and put the board back into the front lawn, there was a bit of hesitation while hammering the board in but after a few good smacks with the hammer it just went right in. I thought I had maybe hit a stone or something.....
.... turns out, that of the entire lawn to put the stupid board into, I hit a 10mm odd steel rod straight throught a couple mm piece of wire which is about 20cm under the ground, namely the telkom phone line
Who knows how long it will take telkom to fix it

Like I told you dude, you got my frikken luck 
Best part is Telkom is likely to rip up half your front lawn to fix it

Wonder how long it will take just to get them to take a look.

Decent HTML browser for your phone. Or just sniff out the area's WiFi routers.

That sux! Its becoming quite a common thing though, I swear there are people at telkom that leak the usernames and passwords

You know what is scary, the fact that it's relatively (well, pretty easy) to gain someone's account details and password. BEST thing to do is to change your password on your router - so many people don't, or don't know how to. I won't go into the nitty gritty, unless there's the need.
