Migrated in this morning

thetrevone · Jul 06, 2006, 09:16:08

Good morning all,
I am another rat that has jumped the sinking Plusnet ship. It is something of a shock to see status as green on everything here, I supose I will get used to it.
A big thanks to Tim and his sense of humour during the sign up and to Miriam for the speedy set up of email account.

Trev...Welcome welcome

AvengerUK · Jul 06, 2006, 12:38:50

Welcome trev!

You'll be suprised at how long that green light stays on

thetrevone · Jul 06, 2006, 19:09:55

Thanks for the kind replies, looking forward to a long and happy stay.

Hi mate, you have made a good choice

cavillas · Jul 07, 2006, 11:56:46

What green ligh, where is the green light. Nobody told me anything about a green light. Is it a good thing? Does it flash or is it steady? Where is it I want one as well.

thetrevone · Jul 07, 2006, 14:24:57

Sorry cavaillas, I was confused, I have come from Plusnet, so it's normal to be confused.

Everything there is either an amber or red light and I thought I saw green lights here, perhaps I should make the suggestion IDnet change OK to green lights to ease the transition for us ex plus users

Now a flashing green light for plusnet sounds good for all the times they say they fixed something when they haven't.

maxping · Jul 07, 2006, 18:16:43

What or where are these lights you are talking about mate it seems we are all confused?

thetrevone · Jul 07, 2006, 18:53:36

I was refering to the status symbols that resemble lights, that plusnet use to indicate the state of various parts of their network and confused these with the green OK used by IDnet. I am sorry to all that I have confused and will crawl back into my hole.

Oh sh~t....

thetrevone · Jul 07, 2006, 22:51:32

Just remembered that I had forgotten to thank Bill in my original post as it was his reply to where I might find a suitable alternative ISP that directed me to IDnet. Thank you kind sir.
I have no wish to see the shooting start on account of my posts

You've clearly never tried Free Chat over on AG.... Scott's favourite forum

Scott · Jul 07, 2006, 22:56:05

Free Chat...ahhhhh...Dip me in honey and throw me to the bears

Jeff · Jul 07, 2006, 22:59:56

Trev, chill man, this place was created by and is used by ordinary folk, I don`t even think there`s any of us work in the IT industry, except Scott who works in a bank, but that isn`t a real job as we pay his wages thru fines and overdrafts and they don`t really do hard work anyway, and they never sweat, even in this weather as they all have airco in their offices.

No one is judged here ... at least not to your face

Scott · Jul 07, 2006, 23:07:21

It's true...all true. But if it makes you all feel any better I'm in the basement and have nairy a sliver of sky to gaze upon...!

Come winter-time this far norf' I come to work in the dark...I go home in the dark....IS IT A WONDER WE DRINK AS MUCH

thetrevone · Jul 07, 2006, 23:10:38

Jeff, I shall take your advice and start my chilling out process by opening another large bottle of 2001 Chimay Blue a rather fine trappist beer from Belgium at 9%
