More hassles with Net4India
We had to buy a domain www.sat-india.net. We went to net4india and bought the domain using our cyber wallet. The backend processed the order successfully (or so we were told). The money was deducted from our account. Everything seemed to be just fine.
Even on the next day, the domain did not get activated. We checked and found it was still freely available in the market. We tried to book the domain again from net4india. It showed that the domain was still available! The same domain we had already booked and paid for 24hours earlier.
I went to my GoDaddy account and bought the domain easily and the site was activated in 45 minutes flat. The backend of net4india still shows that we have paid for the domain and it is under our control.
How sad can a mismanaged backend get? The company now says that we delayed in processing the order hence it was bought by a third party. And this happened after we had actually paid for the domain!
Excellent work Net4India. GoDaddy? Here I come…

Internet Explorer 7
pffft…. another year, another challenge, another proposal.
That of Internet Explorer 7 to be released - which looks like a joke since its not going to have anything significantly changed since IE6. Moreover, its only for Windows XP users!
Microsoft seems to lose and gain just the right amount of things year-after-year to keep them going!

Net4India is totally Incompetent
More than a week that I went to their office and paid the money in advance in cash… and they still have not managed to get my partner’s account fixed up with all the existing domains. I wish I had the time and resources to sue these incompetent people to get some sanity back in my working life.

Microsoft Update Service
I went to Microsoft’s Windows Update Service to check for any updated drivers for my computer components. The crap service offered me to install updates to the WINDOWS UPDATE SERVICE itself to enable me use the service to CHECK for WINDOWS UPDATES. After I did the updates to the Update Service, the idiotic service wanted me to restart my computer to continue further work on it!
Yeah right, here you go… Why don’t I just go and kill myself instead?
