I am still alive and strangely enough I don't feel sleepy. Has somebody slipped some drugs into me?
Anyhow, I have been really busy this morning. First I got a visit from the local energy company (Luleå Energi) that suddenly wanted blow fiber into my house and I said of course, welcome. So they did that :-) Right now I have high speed ADSL with 5.5Mbps down and .75Mbps up. With fiber I will get 100 Mbps both ways with 10 Mbps guaranteed. Yummy.
Right after the fiber guy left, flextronics showed up with new memory for my computer that I called Dell about yesterday. Now my computer is working fine again. It is amazing what a big difference 512 MB versus 1024 MB makes in my computer (yes I run a lot of stuff).
After that I played detective over the phone. In the beginning of July I was stupid enough to pay in advance for an Internet order. Hey, it was a Swedish company that had been around for several years. Only when I didn't get any package from them I found out that they had gone belly up, but their Internet shop was still open and was automagically sending out order confirmations with instructions on how to pay. Anyhow, I talked with their stock broker, district court and finally the lawyer firm handling the bankruptcy. The company will start over from scratch with new owners and my chances to get any package from them is very slim according to the lawyer I talked with. It wasn't the case handler so the information was not final. He will be in tomorrow and hopefully I will get some more information then.
Not bad for a brain on vacation and without any sleep, right?! :-)
And it is getting warmer and warmer. Right now it is 23.8 degrees.
"...they had gone belly up, but their Internet shop was still open and was automagically sending out order confirmations with instructions on how to pay."
Quite extraordinary!
