Customer Service Emails – Yet Another Update!

I have done a major (i.e. huge!) update to the table of fame and shame regarding customer support emails sent to international communication companies. (And I have been only asking serious questions that I really needed/wanted an answer to!).

Have a look at the table here! Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

AntiVirยฎ PersonalEdition Classic

I switched!
Yep, after years of using AntiVirยฎ PersonalEdition Classic, they finally released version 7 and it’s working horribly on many computers, especially WinXP as one can read in their forum.

Unfortunately in many cases, your PC just freezes after installation, a couple of Windows restarts, or just every 30 minutes.
Some people managed to fix it.

After wasting hours with uninstallation, installation, registry cleaning, and system restore point creating and recovering, I gave up and now switched to use
AVG Free Edition and this seems to work pretty nice. I would use Avast! but this anti virus prg unfortunately sets itself to highest priority without the ability to change it, so the PC slows down incredibly everytime the on-access scanner scans a file! ๐Ÿ™

Reply from the UPU about address formatting conflict

Incredible, but after over 4 months I have received a reply from the Lithuanian Postal Service and that’s why I decided to forward this reply to the UPU and here is their statement about the address formatting conflict of letters to Russia and Lithuania!:

“Hello Mr. Droege,

The general recommendation is to use the addressing rules of the destination country. In most of cases, in the country of origin the international mail is only sorted by country name and no postcode verification is performed. The actual sorting takes place in the destination country.

A one exception is addressing rules for Russian addresses. It is recommended to put the country name as the last line in order to facilitate mail item routing in country of origin and transit.

Best regards,

ICQ Unified Messaging Center set repaired

Somebody repaired the ICQ Unified Messaging Center pack for putting into own homepages, since it was broken! ๐Ÿ™‚

Well, a lot of sections and toos on the ICQ homepage are from 2001 and older and would need a major overhaul.

Anyway, read all, plus the links, here! ๐Ÿ™‚

A load of inquiry forms!


Maybe some of you know, that sometimes, letters get lost. So, it’s possible to fill an inquiry form for the lost sending. (Those forms are multilingual – in your national language and French).

I have written to the Postal Service an email and said sarcastically they shall please send me “a load of inquiry forms for sendings to abroad”. And they really took me literate! The postman handed over to me an envelope with 50 (!) forms the other day! That keeps for complaining for lost letters for a lifetime! ๐Ÿ˜€

Above is the proof photo! ๐Ÿ˜€

“New” ICQ & Pro7 TV Channel

A new ICQ? That is what I asked myself when I have seen on TV promoting a new ICQ. But it’s nothing more than the normal ICQ 5 English client but with a customized skin and a few customized xtraz for Pro7.

In total:

– ProSieben Cinema Planner
– ProSieben Playground (games like “Yetisports” or “Blockbuster Bingo”)
– ProSieben Infofeed

So no biggie, but enough to call a 1 year old ICQ client “new!”, hehehe!
