TITAN Support is ticking me off

I still can not log on to TITAN poker... and its been over a month..

Initially, I was impressed with their rapid reply.. but, it is beginning to look like they trained monkeys to reply rapidly.. stupid monkeys...

Each time they respond, its a different person, telling me to try the same thing the person before asked me to try.... so, I say I already tried that, and they reply, a different person mind you, asking for a screenshot of the error..., of which, I ofcourse have already sent umpteen times....

I'm tempted to post the entire email thread here.. but, its rather long and I would have to do some editing to make it look nice.. but, maybe in the next couple of days...

One of thier suggestions was to remove any other online poker software... I'm not sure if they meant not have any running, or just delete them altogether... hard to figure the tech monkeys these days...

Anyway.. my fun money on Absolute is growing rapidly... and I lost my last few cents on Doyle just a bit ago.... 3 SNG's, pretty much ended up the same way...

Me, 3rd in chips with 4 players left...
me, all in with the best of it..
me, out 4th, out of any money, due to suckout...

all well.. can't complain.....I was really pleased with my play.... and I might start taking part in the Thursdays on Pokerstars again...

I'm pretty sure i can beat the people in low limit ring games on TITAN.. IF I COULD FRIGGIN LOG ON!!!!!

hey you austin people.. i'll be volunteering at Spamorama this saturday, afternoon shift.. id checker.. and then on sunday, ill be selling beverages at the austin fine arts festival... booth #1.. come by and give me a holller.....

J2EE

I've been in class all this week, learning.. 'The Fast Track to J2EE Developers Workshop'. We are using JBoss4 for a server, and the tool is Eclipse. pretty neat stuff.. but, since I work for the State, I'll never get to use it...

Also started playing again... 2 to 4 SnG's a night, but, just play money on Absolute.. I'm still not able to log on to Titan and they aren't giving me my money.. so, not sure what to do there...only 8 bucks.. but,.. its the principal of the thing... I suppose I could actually dig into the registry and find any Titan reference, kill it, same with cookies... delete all the client files... then try to dl it again and reinstall... I'm no fan of jerking around with the registry tho... problem is the autologin is hanging me up.. and it thinks it being sent a "", which is prolly a null character..... I've communicated this to them several times.. they tell me there is nothing they can do..... I'm no tech junkie, I'm just a good guesser...

Anyway.. I've been winning the shit out of these SNG's... and its the 25K entry one's.... players tend to be a bit more skilled than they are back on down in the 300 buyin tourneys ( free money )... So, I want to try with real money again... and was hoping to do it at Titan... now, I think I will just have to figure sumtin else out..

Texas won their basketball game last night... I don't really care, but, figured I would blog it like the rest of the Austin bloggers more than like will.... I did see the final shot on the news.. that was cool..

peace

Austin Blogger Tourney

Yesterday, the WPBT Austin Event started not too long after 1pm, I was there, and I played, altho.. I was not in the best condition to be playing extended poker... I was exhausted before I even got there, having hauled dirt all day.. helping a friend get their lawn back in shape... the weather for this task was not optimal, raining off and on all day.. making it very muddy... which in turn, made it a bit more difficult to work with... but, I rarely pass up a chance to see the local Austin Poker Bloggers... and a tournament as well........

I don't really have a write up... I had planned on taking notes, and pictures... and I would have done a good job too.. but... I was just too tired to care... I really didn't expect to last as long as I did, 4th out of 24 or so.. ITM.... weeeeeeeeeeee... lucky for me, and my faithful reader(s).... a few of the participants did keep notes, and did take pictures...

April - did some live blogging and even had one or two famous Austin folks as guest bloggers..

ScottMc - has a writeup with tons of pics.. ( ignore the ones of me )

Mourn - was here, all the way from Houston...

There will prolly be other writeups, from likes of Eva, Maigrey, Gus, ScurvyDog and others...... lot of bloggers there...

Was a grand time... always is... thanks to Adam for hosting...

I Played! I Played!!

I decided to play a couple of SNG's on Absolute last night... since it has been over a month since I have played any poker at all... and also, got a big live tourney tomorrow... so, had to make sure I could still recognize the cards... took a 1st and a 3rd.... the competition was, lets say, lacking.... not sure if I am still bettre than average, or just got two tables with some really poor players...

ah well... we shall see tomorrow..
