This is the sad tale of an Optus support call. I&#8217;m kicking myself I didn&#8217;t record it, because you just can&#8217;t invent this stuff. It&#8217;s so absolutely absurd that no-one, except [...]]]></description>

Adam filed another article on the popular Hydrapinion blog, too: Media Centre PC &#8211; R.I.P.?

Where do I start?
I&#8217;ve been joking recently about having three full-time jobs.  I&#8217;ve been employed by the Victorian Government in my current role for nearly seven years.

Telstra was no longer competitive.  At the time, Telstra wouldn&#8217;t sell me a SIM card for my brand new HTC JasJar.  They wanted passports, driver licences and credit cards to set up a new mobile account (even though I was already a Telstra customer), and everything was just [...]]]></description>
