Just had a phone call from my NBN (National Fraudband Network) case manager: he's trying to get my old phone number reallocated to me.
Not wildly impressed with the way I was transitioned from ADSL2+ to a FTTN connection today. I definitely decided, back in April, to retain my home phone number. The transition was from a PSTN carrier/ISP to the National Fraudband Network (NBN) with a VoIP phone line.
So the carrier/ISP deactivated my NBN work order and placed me, as requested, on a "fix-it-up-in-a-few-months-when-we-have-some-vague-idea-of-what-the-fuck-we-are-doing" list and issued a new work order for a few months down the track.
But it's obviously to hard to recognise that the deactivated order is deactivated FOR A REASON. Some STUPID TWAT reactivated that order & now while my connection speed is more than doubled, I no longer have the home phone number I've been using for the last 17 years. USELES BASTARDS.

An older Mac User Group member complained that after switching to El Crapitan most of his mailboxes had vanished from Mail.app. I suggested hunting in the sidebar for Show/Hide indicators. He reported back that he'd used that method successfully to restore the "missing" items.
@streakmachine It's odd how we've never come up with colloquial-type names like Hoover for fax machines or washing machines. (Vacuum machine)
@matigo Aluminium cups for tea or coffee are anathema to me. The stuff just doesn't taste right.
