Uffffff at last internet is back!!!!! ,, I am no longer Mr. Suspended . The case got too complicated that i thought i would stay “internet-less” for the remaining of my time here!
Well, the story begins when I was browsing the net the day after I returned from Bahrain. In the afternoon, my network was suddenly disconnected. I was like “God damn it.. what the hell?” and some other words you don’t wanna know.
So I went the university (Walked all the way to the bus station and then took the bus to the top of the hill and thatz where the university is located). I realised that I was disconnected because BUCS (Bath University Computing Services) suspected that my computer was either infected by some sort of a virus or a trojan or been using peer-to-peer software which illegal according to BUCS regulations. So that night of that day I did a full virus scan and reviewed all my program list to find that my computer was neither infected by a virus nor had a peer-to peer software.
At that point I was so damn frustrated, and begun to write a draft text to send the next day to BUCS equiring about the disconnection of the service. So the first thing in the morning was going to the computer lab and sending that email, then I went to the lecture. When i finished the lecture, i returned to find a reply from BUCS saying that eventhough I ensured them that there isn’t any virus or peer to peer software, they wanted me to bring my PC to BUCS helpdesk to make a full check or they won’t disconnect the service. I was shocked, cause I asked myself, how the hell would I bring my 50kg CPU from the edge of the town to the university campus up the hill?
Then I sent another email, this time no formality, no polite language. I said I damn sure I didn’t break any regulations mentioned on this page (click here) . I said if you don’t reconnect me once you got that email then I don’t want your service anymore keep it for yourself! I was really pissed off. I hate it when I am write about something and people wanna prove me wrong. After that, and few minutes later, this BUCS guy sends me an email saying he would disconnect me for a week until the 27th of April and that I should have paid a fine of £20 (B.D. 14) but they lifted it of and warned me that if any future incident happens. I will be suspended for 1 month and pay a fine of £40 (B.D. 28). The funny thing that I’ve been suspended for more than a week for something I never did and la they wanna prove me wrong! and now they have changed the regulation page (linked above) to include more and stricter regulations killah because of the incident i caused!
Well, what have I been doing for the past 8 or 9 evenings? mmm, I’ve really become a good student (proud of it haha) coz i come around 5 or 6pm change my cloths, work on my assignments, then play some hearts, listen to Elissa , play around with photoshop and then watching one or two episodes from House M.D. before going to bed. I go to bed around 9.30pm to wake up at 7am and by 8am I am the university computer labs checking my email and sufring the net. In the weekend, I’ve wandered around the town with my camera and took many shots and hope to conitnue that this weekend somewhere else in the town!
So that’s it basically, since I came back here. I’ve handed in the presents i brought from bahrain. Mattai, Nasshab, Dates and Bahraini Halwa. Plus, some key chains and all were happy about it.
The weather in Bath is ridicoulos. In the morning the weather is so cold that it nearly reaches freezing point, then in the afternoon it’s so hot that it reaches 22-25. and sometimes after a sunny day it suddenly rains out of nowhere. I don’t know what to wear anymore. Plus it’s intresting that the sun stay bright and shine up in the sky up until 8.30 – 9 pm so we are enjoying longer days and less dark =D. It’s just the greatest period during the whole year, but hope the weather stabilises and stays nice and clear!
Well, I’ve got many things to say so stay tuned!
