I am two ingots short of completing the one hundred that need for the achievement and even following the guides on sites like www.wouldyoukindly.com, I feel it is a lost cause as I cannot see the missing two ingots. I guess some kind of graphical glitch. Shame as I was really enjoying Fallout 3 : The Pitt.

Left 4 Dead : My Achievements(2)
General : Demon ASDL restored!
I have been down for four and half days since Thursday at 11am, but on Friday after a heated exchange with a supervisor at Demon, I had, had enough and I went on a mission to find somebody who could help. That help came in the form of Thus and a telephone call to their head offices. Thus passed me to Demon's directorship and this allowed me to talked to somebody who was interested in my problems and called me back plus gave me their direct line. I am actually, very unhappy that it came to calling Demon's directorship, but I needed a fix.
Anyway, this morning came and I called my new contact, unfortunately, the blame was being placed at my router modem, so they would send my one for free.
After the call, a light came on in my mind, Demon made me change my DSL modulation mode to ADSL2+, I wonder? So, I changed it back to multi-mode and pop my ADSL came back up. I reviewed the router details and discovered Demon has put me back to my original ADSL settings, I guess my line was not capable of the upgrade, shame about the massive fights to get my service restored!!

General : Demon ADSL2+ up!
My ADSL2+ has been up and running for twenty four hours now. Demon true to their word, called me back. Unfortunately, I missed the call as I left my mobile in my office. However, I felt compelled to call them on returning home to explain what they did wrong as a positive rather than a negative.
- Demon should have know that when ADSL2+ is installed the telecoms providers do extensive testing(training). The training is run twenty four hours a day for up to nine or ten days. This can cause long downs while the telecoms provider works out the rates(speeds) your line can handle.
- Demon should have got a review date from the telecoms provider prior to the upgrade, so that faults could be resolved.

General : Demon ADSL2+ how does it affect me?
This is the official statement from Demon's own website:
How will the migration to 2+ services affect me?Not quite my experience thus far, 30 minutes of interruption has been days and days of poor or no service. Check the full Demon Broadband 2+ here!
There will be a short service interruption of up to 30 minutes when your service is upgraded to Demon 2+ - typical downtime will be between 5 and 10 minutes. During the interruption both your telephone and broadband services will be affected. Dates and impact of the upgrades will be available to customers prior to their migration commencing, with each customer receiving a letter a month in advance of their migration.

General : Demon ADSL2+ Training continues!
So, last night I was online from about 6:20pm until 8:20pm, then my ADSL2+ started the training process again and that was me down until 8am'ish!

General : Demon ADSL2+ right to be concerned!
I was right to be concerned as I was only up for two minutes and thirty seconds last night. I guess 2+ is representative of minutes up! So, I have lost count of the calls to technical support, who kept telling me to "wait", but after my second complaint to customer services, they finally arranged for somebody to take me seriously. Again, I feel I am on borrowed time and I am not sure how long before the next down. So I am posting now!

OutRun™ Online Arcade : Drifter's heaven
Back in the eighties, Outrun was the only arcade game that I wanted to play. It just looked the business.
Now, you like me can enjoy it all again with OutRun Online Arcade on Xbox Live, but unlike most retro games, it feels fresh and new. Thanks Sega for re-releasing and re-vamping it.

General : Demon ADSL2+
The last few days have been what I can only describe as a "pain". Currently, Demon is the process of upgrading it's customers and me to ADSL2+ and that is when my problems started. Since the 14th April 2009, I have either had no service or intermittent ups and downs, I found the Demon service desk unresponsive and I felt that my complaints were unheard. Currently, my ADSL is up and I admit that the speed and performance is better, but if it is anything like last night, it'll be down at 7pm until 9am! Anybody else having problems?
