This actually happened at the end of last week but I’ve been quite busy and haven’t had a chance to update this. I’ve also been thinking about changing my blog a little, maybe splitting up the topics so that there’s more useful information on it…but I’ll come to that later!
Ok, so in my last post, I talked about MS Xbox Support, and how great they were being. I finished by mentioning that I was planning a little ‘trickery’ so that I could ship my box from one place, and have them send it back to another, which would also sort a little problem out for me! Well, the day before I was due to fly home (where I wanted them to send it back to) from England (where I work, and the place I wanted them to pick it up) my mother called to say a man from UPS had arrived to pick up an xbox. I was very confused, as I had been told by the customer service agent, both in an e-mail and on the phone, that he would send me a label and I would arrange the collection. Apparently they were also sending a man with the label, who would put it on the box and take it from me…he left that bit out! So, it turned out THEY were deciding where it would be picked up, not me!
Confused as to what to do, I thought I could always bring the xbox home in my suitcase, and send it off from home. That way, it would arrive back where I want it, and I’d rather do my side of the transportation before it got repaired, rather than after. In other words, if I broke it during transit…they’d be repairing it anyway!
So now, the box is in Germany (I think!?) and it has been received at the service centre. Hopefully it will be on it’s way back shortly…though I don’t really care when as I have 2 consoles and it’s only going to my girlfriend’s brother anyway, and he’s going ot be on holiday for 3 weeks!
And now for something completely different (I was watching Monty Python last night…if you’ve seen that you might get what I mean
)…
I was thinking this morning about my blog and how I do have a decent number of readers. Not as many as I would like, but not nobody!
I thought about making it *sparkle* more before, but I think I may have got an idea that, frankly, I’m surprised I hadn’t looked at it this way before. When I read another blog, what do I want to read… I’m guessing that’s what you also want to read. Would I like to read all about somebody else? Not really…well, not unless I have reason to! Mainly, I read something about an interest of mine, and that then makes me think “I wonder who wrote this”…that’s where personal blogs come into it!
I’m thinking about splitting my blog up into multiple blogs, or at least sections. I haven’t looked at how Wordpress allows for this yet, but I’m sure I’ll find a way to do it. I figure if I have sections where I write about games, programming, news, etc. then that way, people will be reading about things they want to. Then, I’ll also keep this personal aspect to it, as a sideline. As I said, not sure how to do it, but I’m sure it’s possible. Keep an eye out for changes, and if you see anything you like or don’t like, let me know!
