Live Tourney Schedules. Another of my jobs - jeez, they all seem to fall in my lap! - which I've got behind with.

if i was to get sent deatils of every live festival (tourny) in the UK and you trusted me with FTP access you could delegate that job to me  my writing skills aint up to much but i could handle that job and its about time i did something round here

Thanks Guys. When Cardrooms send us updated Tourney Info, we update, but we need to be pro-active, & ask THEM, as they don't give it to us unless we ask.

The upgraded site will not need FTP access, anyone - subject to Password Control - will be able to upload directly. That WILL be a big help. To be honest, I got a bit frustrated with uploading stuff that had immediacy to it, as I wlould send it to "Head Office" at 4 & 5 in the morning, & it often did not get uploaded for 2 days, so I reverted to putting stuff straight onto the Forum instead.

It's very kind of both you & Dewi to offer to help, I appreciate it.

Delegation is my biggest problem. Dave says I am the worst delegator he has ever met, but I tell him that's unfair - I am just too busy to delegate.........

LOL

[RED-DOG]

I must be the worlds worst person to work for, I have always been a one man band but like everyone else I have to get the pro's in sometimes, plummers, builders etc, the trouble is, I have to 'help' them, I can't stop asking questions or suggesting better ways to do things

If the boot was on the other foot, I would tell them to bugger off or do it themselves

[tikay]

Plumbers Red, PLUMBERS.......

Sigh.

[RED-DOG]

I feel a story coming on

Get it off your chest

While your at it, how come you put up with so much crap with your broadband?

[tikay]

What can I do about it? I've rung BT six zillion times. Bizarrely, I just checked the PC to see if the Broadband was back on yet, & it IS - Whohoo! I had unplugged the thing from the port, the pluggd it back in again, & hey presto, I'm back on broadband!

[Bongo]

I was going to say, in most cases you don't have much choice.

I once had non working broadband for 7 weeks before BT managed to fix it.

Tikay I offer my web services too if ya get stuck.  Even if it is just proof reading b4 uploading - I think and hope that Ange and Davey can confirm I am capable.

I use AOL Broadband, expensive, but ZERO problems!!!

[tikay]

Spoke too soon. It dropped out again within 5 minutes.....Grrrrrrr

[Bongo]

Tikay - moan at the guy in the call centre until they put you through to the special faults team. Refuse to hang up until they do, pointing out how you've rung them a zillion times before and nothing has been done etc...

We did this and got put onto a guy who knew what he was talking about, had special equipment for analysing the line for faults etc to see why the line dropped.

Tikay do you have a filter connected to EVERYTHING that uses the phoneline??

Refuse to pay the bill, sign up with someone else, tell them you will see them in court

I have done it many times when I don't get the service I'm paying for, none have ever taken me to court

[Bongo]

The problem with that is Red is that you have very little actual choice with broadband (at the moment).

Unless you live in an area served by NTL/Telewest (or whatever the merged company will be called) then you have to go with ADSL. The vast majority of all ADSL will use BT lines and equipment at the exchange (i'm unsure at which point it switches to your choice of provider - i've never bothered to find out). Faults with these will be dealt with by BT wholesale - whoever is providing you with the retail product. Switching provider will merely lead you on a merry dance of paying someone else but dealing with the same people.
