<p>I&#8217;m guessing no.  There is no service I provide here anymore &#8211; rarely do I even update the site.  So you tell me.  Keep it or trash it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations, Microsoft, you&#8217;re XBOX Live support team has the dubious honor of being the worst I have ever dealt with.</p>
<p>Its bad that your Web site gives me absolutely no information about how to deal with my issue.</p>
<p>Its very bad how the &#8220;email us&#8221; doesn&#8217;t allow me to select the proper problem I&#8217;m having.</p>
<p>Its just <em>terrible</em> that the CSRs are also completely unable to help as well.</p>
<p>Now, the obvious thing to think is &#8220;Wow, I&#8217;ve got some real big issue!&#8221; Wong.&nbsp; I just can&#8217;t migrate my account from one Xbox to another.&nbsp; I tried and tried, but nothing I did worked.</p>
<p>So I called Support.&nbsp; I could barely understand what the person was saying!&nbsp; She could barely understand what <em>I</em> was saying.&nbsp; The only help I could get was what email address I used to sign up for the account.</p>
<p>It was something, though, so I decided maybe I could login to Xbox.com with that email address and retrieve my billing information that way.&nbsp; I thought wrong.</p>
<p>Quite frankly I don&#8217;t think its worth the trouble anymore.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t know how much time I&#8217;ve spent trying to solve this problem to only wind up no closer to a solution.</p>
<p>The shear fact of the matter is, I don&#8217;t play on XBL that much as it is &#8211; even though I&#8217;ve faithfully paid the $6.95/month access fee whether or not I use it.</p>
<p>But, given the fact that I cannot rely on Microsoft to provide adequate support, I think I&#8217;m leaving XBL for good.</p>
<p>Which leads me to my next problem.&nbsp; How do I cancel my account through Microsoft?&nbsp; The CSRs that I cannot communicate with or the Web site where I cannot access my account?</p>
<p>Forget it, I&#8217;ll just go through my bank.</p>

<p>One thing that is totally awesome about my birthday is the meteor shower that happens every year.&nbsp; Its like God wants to give me fireworks to celebrate &#8211; or something like that but less blasphemous.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have worked almost non-stop for the past 36 hours and came up with this: <a href="http://www.hostlaunch.net">hostlaunch.net</a>.&nbsp; It is a site for all the web hosts of the world and get their site listed, no questions asked.&nbsp; Bad companies just have to put up with being publicly called out on their crappy services.</p>
<p>On the topic of crappy services, the code the site uses is pretty crappy (I spent maybe 3 hours on it total&#8230; Most of my time was watching the simpsons or futurama or something).&nbsp; So I still have some work to do, but the site is officially OPEN FOR BUSINESS!</p>
<p>Once again, the site is <a href="http://www.hostlaunch.net">hostlaunch.net</a>.</p>
<p>By the way, to the hostlaunch.com guys, I win!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, its not very often you&#8217;ll here me say anything nice about Customer Relations &#8211; people.&nbsp; Let alone the &#8220;fine&#8221; folks over at <em>credit</em> card company, but AmEx (which, according to <a href="http://www.consumerist.com">The Consumerist</a> won JD Power &amp; Associates satisfaction survey) really pulled through earlier today for me.</p>
<p>I misplaced my wallet.&nbsp; I swear its just in my room under some clothes or something, but either way its gone.&nbsp; In it, my drivers license, 1100¥, some business cards, my AmEx, and well that&#8217;s about it.</p>
<p>Here is where things get tricky.&nbsp; I need to buy books for school, and well those aren&#8217;t cheap.&nbsp; The only way for me to get them is *sigh* to pay for them with credit.</p>
<p>Thanks to AmEx, I&#8217;ll have my new card sometime tomorrow, which in turn means, I can have all of my books when I need them!</p>
<p>So AmEx, I may hate the philosophy of your business, making money off of people with late fees, interest, and everything else credit card companies do, but you helped me in a jam, and the 0% introductory rate is pretty nice also!</p>
