Customer support Vs. Customer


Now this is cool :) They love you SO that they won't let you go!
AOL customer support vs. Vincent :)
It took him 15 minutes waiting on the phone just to reach a real, live person. And then ...

And, what happened next was recorded by Vincent on audio and lasted about four minutes:

CLOCK READOUT - 00:00

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Hi this is John at AOL... how may I help you today?

VINCENT: I wanted to cancel my account.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Sorry to hear that. Let's pull your account up here real quick. Can I have your name please?

VINCENT: Ferrari.

CLOCK READOUT - 00:30

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : You've had this account for a long time.

VINCENT: Yup.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Use this quite a bit. What was the cause of wanting to turn this off today?

VINCENT: I just don't use it anymore.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Do you have a high speed connection, like the DSL or cable?

VINCENT: Yup.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : How long have you had that...

VINCENT: Years...

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : ...the high speed?

VINCENT: ...years.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Well, actually I'm showing a lot of usage on this account.

VINCENT: Yeah, a long time, a long time ago, not recently...

CLOCK READOUT - 01:47

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Okay, I mean is there a problem with the software itself?

VINCENT: No. I just don't use it, I don't need it, I don't want it. I just don't need it anymore.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Okay. So when you use this... I mean, use the computer, I'm saying, is that for business or for... for school?

VINCENT: Dude, what difference does it make. I don't want the AOL account anymore. Can we please cancel it?

CLOCK READOUT - 02:21

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Last year was 545, last month was 545 hours of usage...

VINCENT: I don't know how to make this any clearer, so I'm just gonna say it one last time. Cancel the account.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Well explain to me what's, why...

VINCENT: I'm not explaining anything to you. Cancel the account.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE Well, what's the matter man? We're just, I'm just trying to help here.

VINCENT: You're not helping me. You're helping me...

AOL REPRESENTATIVE I am trying to help.

VINCENT: Helping... listen, I called to cancel the account. Helping me would be canceling the account. Please help me and cancel the account.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE No, it wouldn't actually...

VINCENT: Cancel my account...

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Turning off your account...

VINCENT: ...cancel the account...

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : ...would be the worst thing that...

VINCENT: ...cancel the account.

CLOCK READOUT - 03:02

AOL REPRESENTATIVE Okay, cause I'm just trying to figure out...

VINCENT: Cancel the account. I don't know how to make this any clearer for you. Cancel the account. When I say cancel the account, I don't mean help me figure out how to keep it, I mean cancel the account.

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Well, I'm sorry, I don't know what anybody's done to you Vincent, because all I'm...

VINCENT: Will you please cancel the account.

CLOCK READOUT - 03:32

AOL REPRESENTATIVE : Alright, some day when you calmed down you're gonna realize that all I was trying to do was help you... and it was actually in your best interest to listen to me.

VINCENT: Wonderful, Okay.

CLOCK READOUT - 03:39

------------------------------------DONE

"I've never ever experienced anything like that," Vincent told CNBC.

He recounts how the AOL representative - as a last resort even asked if his dad was home.

"I think I could've put up with everything, but at the point when he asked to speak to my father, I came very close to losing it at that point," said the 30-year-old Vincent.





Ferrari then posted the call online, and the response was huge ...

AOL sent him an apology and said the customer service rep was no longer with the company. Anyway, no customer support loved me so that they didn't want to let me go, most of the time they just blow me off...

Matrix doin' it ASCII style...


Have you seen The Matrix? (the movie) Doest this picture on the right remind you of anything?
People do crazy stuf with ascii. (ASCII is a character table) You have probably seen those graphics made of letters, numbers and characters. Some of them look really cool, but stuff like this I haven't seen before - a short movie made in ASCII! (ok probably it was converted to ASCII mode, but still).
The scene where Neo is on the roof and the agent shoots at him is completely done in numbers, letters and characters! Although a screenshot looks bad, take a look at the movie, it's a must see stuff. Actually the whole movie is in numbers and letters, man it look cool...

So here are the pictures:
-Before

-After


You can find the movie here.
Another one that is completely online is here.Be sure to leave a comment here if you have liked it.

P.S. It's a bit of big file, but hey, it's the matrix :)

Free? Nah... Priceless...


Or the one like:
Packet of Malboro red: $5.85
Bottle of cheap Tequila: $18
Passing out drunk and having your boyfriend take naked pictures of you to show your tits to all of his mates: Priceless!

More stuff about priceless stuff may (and does) contain links to somewhat adult material, so if you're a minor you shouldn't be looking at these :)

You have all seen that 'touching' mastercard ad, in which they talk about priceless moments in your life. Like stuff like seeing a football match (or something).... I quite hated those ads 'till I haven't found some GOOD priceless stuff...
You know that in life thing don't come for granted. Blog my friend pointed me to that has inspired me to begin my search for some quality priceless stuff. You can find that blog (for starters) here.

If you saw those (and liked them) go here or here. They have basically the same images, so you don't have to bother opening them both. Another collection can be found here.

If you're done with all of them, go herefor the finishing touch. :)

I'm thinking about posting photos from my birthday - they'll probably be good priceless stuff...

Do you think that I'll be on those? Nah, I wouldn't bet my net on that.

Feeling small?

Well you shouldn't. I have THE smallest thing to show you. And believe me you won't believe what it is...

So I promissed you something small (I'm not talking about that other thing that you are thinking about :) ). This one isn't only small, it's also quite unique - the smallest site on the internet!

WARNING: heavy frustuation can appear due to small letters and similar stuff

You can play some of the most fa mous games in their smallest edition... Anyway, I recommend that you use something like Magnifyer in windows do get the feeling of the site. You can glide to the smallest website on the net here.

You think you have found anything smaller? I wouldn't bet my net on that...

Map the net...


When people are lost, they tend to get a map and to follow it. BUT, when you're on the net, you often question - IS THERE A MAP OF THIS THING? I bet you have even asked your ISP's help desk to get you one, but probably you heard just giggling from the other side of the phone. So what's the catch?

SO to tell you the truth - there are maps of internet. "ARE?" Yes - are. There are few types of maps but is you look a bit closer you will find that that are not of the same type we are used to read. Those maps are generated by computers by following domains and mapping them, and as you can expect these maps change in short time periods. There are few teams working on helping you not to get lost on the net like Lumenta research team, or The opte project So anyway if you still feel a bit lost you can use this map:

© www.opte.org

Interesting thing is that a map of Yugoslavian internet was also made during the war (bombing) in may 1999, and you can see the changes here. If you think that that disappearing of parts is sad, try thinking about users of that network (with internet working today but not tomorrow).

Are you 100% that you won't get lost now? :)
You know that I wouldn't bet my net on that...

Introducing - personal website - kiss stuff


So, one of the first thing to definitely see on the net... Oh and kisses :) I kiss you, you kiss me, we kiss we and so on... So what's the catch?

Let me lead you in today's theme - personal presentations. WTF?

Look, if you plan having a personal presentation - FINE, go ahead, put even your drivers licence on (I have seen a few of these), BUT don't blame me if you get:
a) tons of spam
b) tons of comments that will blow you off your feat
c) gay/fetish/really sick/too kinky photo with your head sticked to the "actor that takes it all"'s body
d) me as a visitor to mention you around and laugh my head off
e) no traffic or what so ever

So lemme give you an example - this one is a perfect example of personal presentantion. It has stuff like design, text and is completely cooooooo, oh no no wait - it's hilarious :)

You'll enjoy the PERFECT layout of a man that is TOTALLY serious. It's a personal presentation of a guy, that loads you with info (including his 1.83cm height which makes him THE smallest human you have EVER seen). But don't let the simple layout fool you - there's an video section too :) (you HAVE to check it out).

I really like these sites with COOL photos-from-your-life-on-which-you-look-stupid. I mean I really DO, and I bet you do also :)

I mean this stuff is really ... It's quite.. Well it's something definitely. I'm not mentiong this site just like that, it's just because I liked it quite a lot. I'm not picking on anybody or stuff like that (ok i'm picking on his site, but hey :) )

He maybe kisses you, but I think i'll pass that ... ANYWAY this is by opinion of many the most visited pesonal webpage, so if you want to be the best, look up to this one.... I know it's a bit old, but it's that HAVE-TO-SEE kind of sites...

Oh and do you think this is the best I can?
I would not bet my net on that...

You have just landed on the net - my blog about everything that is considered webable (no not spiderman stuff, web stuff). You will find only THE best stuff here and belive me that can't be found anywhere else :)

So you think that this site won't be among the best?
I wouldn't bet my net on that...
