With the opening of MMU’s new trimester for session 05/06, some#1 decided to move out from the house, so that some#1 can create a certain space between some#2. However, it has been nearly 2 weeks since they came back from their hometowns and yet they are still staying together. I have nothing against couples that stay together under the same roof. After all, it is normal for couples to do so, right? No? They get to spend more time together, share out living costs and well, cuddle in the room whenever they feel like to. Besides, it has got nothing to do with me.

However, things are slightly different when some#1 has decided to move out but yet still stay in the house, as if she/he is still one of the house tenant. I do not bother whether they are staying in the same room or different house, it does not matter to me. But, when some#1 keeps on hogging the stream-my-ass, it matters!

The house’s router is spoilt and we have yet to get a new one. Therefore, each of us has to take turn to use the stream-my-ass. All we need to do is to inform and get permission from him/her who is using at that moment. It was okay for the first three days, but on the forth day, things get a little bit out of hand. Whenever they come and ask me for the line, I will immediately disconnect the stream-my-ass so that they can use it. I will do so even if I am half way chatting with Hwa Yinn or Juliana, reading blogs or writing my blog. However, I have to admit that the line is connected to my computer most of the time.

Some#1 : “Jason, can I use the line to go online?”
Jason : -reading blogs / blogging / chatting- “Ok.” –disconnects without asking any questions-

Jason : -reading blogs / blogging / chatting- “……”
Windows XP : “Local Area Network Connection 3 has been disabled.”
Jason : “……” –walks to upstairs and sees the line is connected to some#1’s computer-
Jason : “Some#1, why you did not tell me before you unplug my connection?”
Some#1 : “Sorry.”
Jason : “Never mind.” –walks back to the room-

I was interrupted many times until I do not have the mood to continue with my stuffs once I got back the line. I have deleted 3 half completed post because of this. I never complain, but when it comes to my turn to ask the line from some#1…

Jason : “Some#1, can I use the line?”
Some#1 : “I am downloading my stuffs.”
Jason : “Ok.” –walks back to the room-
Jason : “Some#1, can I use the line?”
Some#1 : “I am chatting with my friend now.”
Jason : “Ok.” –walks back to the room-

Jason : “Some#1, can I use the line?”
Some#1 : “Some#2 wants to use the line later.”
Jason : “Ok.” –walks back to the room-

Jason : “Some#1, can I use the line?”
Some#1 : “I am downloading with bittorrent. It has been many days and it still has not complete.”
Jason : “Ok.” –walks back to the room-

Jason : “Some#1, how long do I have to wait?”
Some#1 : “Little while more.”
Jason : “Ok.” –walks back to the room and waits for another 2 hours-

Now, these are bothering me.

1) Some#1 is not a house tenant of this house anymore, albeit some#2 is still staying here.
2) Surfing / Reading blogs should have higher priority over downloading over bittorrent.
3) Little while as in 10 to 15 minutes, not 1 to 2 hours!
4) Do not unplug my connection without informing earlier.

I feel so much better now.

P/S :

I was interrupted at least 3 times while I was blogging this.

Since I have talked about the router, there is another incident which I might blog about it if there is still no improvement in the situation.
