Cool Slice a nipple Hump Day

Woke up with a headache so took a shower before morning espresso and stupidly thought it would be a good idea to shave my legs not fully awake. Somehow managed to hit my right nipple with the head of the razor and put a big triple gash in it, blood all over the place.

Spent all day yesterday working the kinks out of my new AT&T DSL service. The service works great and I'm getting faster speeds then what I was suppose to get (1.8 megs upload) but their complete lack of documentation blows.

To setup authenticated smtp severs so that I could actually send email from anything except the never to be used username@att.net that is forced on you involved much Googling since their tech support is pretty much useless. Finally found out that to use smtp.att.yahoo.com but in order to use this with your own domain emails you first have to add them to the Yahoo control panel.

Then there was the issue of getting Vonage to play well with their service. I've always plugged the Vonage phone adapter into my router but with AT&T the phone would go dead after a few hours. After much more Googling I discovered that I needed to plug the Vonage phone adapter directly into the ADSL adapter and then log into the Vonage phone adapter to setup the PPoE and routing information and then put my wireless router into Bridge mode so that I didn't end up with double NAT.

Everything is working great now but how the fuck does AT&T expect the average user to figure all of this out?
