The Devil of All Router/Gateway/Modems

That's right folks, I've actually found a piece of hardware that I am coming pretty close to smashing to pieces. This particular piece is called an Actiontec GT701-wg. My particular issue with it is that it is nearly impossible to configure for running webservers. The tech support between the companies that use it is also scarce. Well, I guess that's what I get for going with Qwest, which uses MSN. Why can't people get it right and quit putting those of us who depend on such services in the middle of it!!!. I mean, it's not just the hardware that gets to me, I could probably live with it if the damn tech people at either Qwest or Actiontec would get it straight and respond to problems more effectively.

Another thing, I hate Actiontec; to get any support by phone, you've gotta pay at least half your internet bill. I mean, jeesh, who in their right mind would want to pay $20-30 for tech support?
The other part of this whole mess I despise is the fact that Qwest requires you to use this P.O.S.

Carelessness

No matter where it comes from I absolutly cannot stand carelessness; even when its comming from me. So far, I've only been careless once; that was about a month ago when I accidently got into a small fender bender. When It happened, I was so upset at myself for letting it happen. The kicker is that the other car was parked; I snagged its right whell well with my front bumper.

Enough of what happened to me that day; let me continue onto a few other careless events. Those events aren't as bad as the first one, however, atleast one of them could have been. Just the other day, I was driving home from work in my Chevy 1987 Sports GT van, fullsize, and this person drove up beside me right when I was about to turn into the inside lane and honked as if it was my fault he/she couldn't get by. I was thinkin to myself as this was happening; "does this person have a death wish?" Now, the other event involved my cousin, and yes, it was with a car as well. It just happened earlier today. My cousin was drivin' minding his own business while the other car passed him and slowed down below the speed of my cousins car; luckily, we avoided any accidents.

I can tollerate a little carelessness now and then , but when it puts someone elses life in danger, that is when I draw the line. People should be more aware of whats around them and not whats goin' on outside of the moment. If you think about it, you have probably seen carelessness at least once or twice a day. I openly invite you to share what you have seen/heard that has been careless here on by blog.
