CrossLoop - use me and abuse me

Posted by David at 1:04pm. Viewed 3 times.

CrossLoopCrossLoop is a great new method of getting IT help. Or, in this case, my help. Anyone who knows me will know I’m always happy to lend a hand, particularly if it’s on a subject I know about - computers would be one such product.

CrossLoop is a simple program that you download onto your computer. When run, it generates a code for you that uniquely identifies you - you give this number to someone who you need assistance from. Using this, and CrossLoop, they can then remotely sign onto your computer to help you out.

So, the next time you’re stuck, give it a try.

Ok, I lied

Did I promise a more positive up-beat post? Sorry. Blame eBuyer.

They picked up the memory card yesterday from my work address but my USB hub never turned up. Ringing them again, I noticed the problem whilst waiting in their phone queue - they’d despatched it to my home address. By courier. And no-one is there.

They asked me too which address to use, but then only applied it to the pick-up. Idiots.

They’ve now changed that and say I should get the hub tomorrow on Monday, depending on how long it takes Shitty Link to realise the details have changed.
