A few months back I reported that Three had restricted access through their network (3netaccess) to certain web sites that are normally available via other providers (like twitter). As expected I lodged a support call with this problem.
Well I’m happy to report that about three months later, Three have finally fixed the problem so now we should be getting unrestricted access on both the 3netaccess and 3services networks.
The one point of interest was the level of support service that Three offered. They phoned with an update to the support issue at least twice a week, keeping me updated with the progress each time.
OpenID is a really great idea. It allows you have a single point of login combined with the ease of the use of a multiple profile based identity. I’m a bit of a supporter of OpenID and it’s universal adoption. But maybe some aren’t as fully committed as expected.
Now you would think that the sites promoting that they are using OpenID would be really making a moderate attempt to see it presented as an alternative to the standard login account creation process.
Have to go off and compulsory vote today in our federal election. Not that our vote (in Western Australia) counts for much (that’s another issue). Anyway this entire cycle of voting every four and bit years for the federal government has got me thinking of the various cycles that life presents us with.
Now I am not a fan of Facebook and its closed garden of social networking, I tried it all out, I got bored, simple. I find the application just an endless spammer with notifications from zombies, to the colouring of someones dog’s left nipple. Frankly I just don’t want to know about most of it. My life is just way too busy for most of Facebook. I have also stayed away for the addictive games (sorry Kay) in Facebook as well, for good reason.
