Middle of last week called AppleCare for the second tiem about the wireless issue. After an hour or two (goddamnit, why can't they have hours after 9pm my time zone so those'd be free?) on the phone with the agent, we'd succeeded in (a) making the AirPort card entirely undetecable, and (b) setting up a mail-in repair. Yesterday the box came, I think the delay was our mail room, today I sent it out.
Yes, this's the brand-spankin'-new MacBook that they sent me to replace the crapped out crappy old crap i-crap-Book crap. Crappity crap crap.
Crap.
Maybe I'll start calling them Crapple.
I hope I get it back in time for the LAN party this weekend.

Yay T-shirt!
Jul. 31st, 2006 08:04 pmI've finally FINALLY received the Music+Science=Sexy T-shirt! They'd stopped talking to me for a bit, but then I called up my Discover card and let them know about it (yay Discover, immediately gave me back the price out of their own pocket, and the contacted PayPal to see about things on their end), and let QCMerch know about it as well, and we agreed that they'd try a third attempt at shipping it to me, but to my office address. And it made it through sometime during the last two weeks while I was at Astrocamp. Yay! I called up Discover card to set everything straight.
So on the end of this all, I'm still baffled as to what happened to the first two attempts. They were both shipped to my home address, and I've never had anything stolen that was shipped to me before. I'm also inclined to trust the people at QC - they seem like real people, and if they were untrustworthy the whole scam would've fallen apart by now. Perhaps there was just some fatal flaw in the shipping method and my address that they had, but then you'd think it'd be returned to sender, so I really don't know. But in the end, I paid for a shirt and got it, and the people at QC apparently took the loss of shipping two extra shirts out into the ether. So go buy stuff from them. Just have it shipped to your workplace, and don't wait 3 months if it doesn't show to say something.

Letter to United
Mar. 20th, 2006 10:07 pmFeedback appreciated. Letter's total length (single-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman) is two full pages.
( Letter )
( Expenses )
If I left in any incriminating evidence, let me know. :-P (Though if you had the databases, you could find us based on just that info.)
I'm tempted to say screw the phone calls, and just send this letter.
