Hint Line 93 is an amazing interactive exhibit about the experience of working on a computer games hint line. It's a deeply-researched, immersive, and clever piece of art... and even though the real experience is in a Australian museum, you can play an approximation of it via the Web. Awesome.

I've had a number calling me repeatedly for the past couple of weeks. My phone blocked it initially and I put it on my personal block list. They never leave a message and they show up as a VOIP on SpyDialer. I'm 95% sure that this is yet another debt collector barking up the wrong tree at my number, which I've had for nearly a quarter of a century.

I don't know if someone is falsely using my phone number to apply for credit, or if the debt is really, really old. The point is that I have no debt and no reason for debt collectors to be calling me.

I used a tool to determine who the VOIP carrier is (Bandwidth.com) and put in a complaint. They've opened a ticket and will be investigating.

Don't fuck around with me. I am grumpy, hate scammers, debt collectors, and all other abusers of the phone system, and will do whatever I can to find and put a stop to whoever is bugging me.

Honestly, if it is a debt collector I'm hoping they get their VOIP numbers shut down through this company and have to go through the hassle of setting up elsewhere. At least their victims will have some respite while that happens.
