Recently I had the pleasure to meet the real UPC. After 4 years of problemless service, i even recommended them to friends, they disconnected all my services because of an (automatic) payment that went wrong while i was on a holiday....Take the 'disconnection' time of 14 days and you have a problem for one week! I now know better, they are ASSHOLES! My problem is that I have all their services, Chello / UPC Digital / Telephone and TV.  Today they proved their RETARDness again by sending a reminder for an unpaid bill (I pay to them by automatic payment) !!! Try calling... Impossible!! So i spammed their helpdesk. I assume the cause is their NEW  'online' view-your-bill-system that makes you have to approve your bill manually each time or something... this I don't wish to be busy with. They never communicated this to me and propably also stopped sending the totals for each months bill after this new system became active, this explains also why automatic payments were stopped and also why the support by phone is unreachable.... RETARDS!

Herbie Hancock's latest cd "Possibilities" contains many collaborations of him with famous artists performing famous songs. While listening the cd for the first time one performance stood out above all of them for me, Christina Aguilera performing Leon Russell's "A Song For You."  While @ work performing myself this song gives me the right mood to write some nice Java code... Herbie plays his piano like I like from George Duke and Christina sings all her frustrations out to you!
