The saga continues.

Apparently the student loan people received the money and it hasn't been returned. They've ripped me off for $500. Isn't that just lovely. The bank has contacted them directly to get the money back. Meanwhile I still have enough money for rent, but nothing else.

And as a fun little sideline my ISP has fucked up as well. I was charged waaaay to much for my ADSL line. At first glance I thought I was being surcharged for bandwith but when I checked the fee schedule I realised that there's no way I would have come close to my allotment, let alone have gone over it enough to warrant the charges. I looked into it a bit and it turned out I was being surcharged for uploading a small webpage to my personal directory to monitor my servers. The FTP calls were being logged as dial-up calls that I was billed for.
