DSL-ification

I LOVE DSL! Here’s the stats better than advertised! 1.09m down and 906k up!

I even wrote a poem about it:

DSL,
DSL,
Hey, what’s that smell?
The dishes? Well,
They’ve not been done.
I couldn’t tell.
Cause now I’m hooked,
on DSL.

And yes, I’ve completely cracked.

4th and Long

Wednesday was the 4th, and I had a good time at the parade in the small town next door.  And the rest of the weekend slowly slid by with me washing the cars and oiling an armoire.  Other than that, the big new would have been that I got DSL, but that didn’t happen as I looked at the finances and found them unable to support higher bandwidth over food and gasoline.  I’m thinking about checking into Facebook, but I have yet to see a real need in acquiring another site other than to mirror this one.  Annnd, another week, another duck to Flickr!  Thanks for your continued support.

MacBreak Weekly Can’t Come Soon Enough/The Slow Pain of Dialup

Make no mistake, every computer I own and use in and out of work and home is a Windows machine.  With that being said, I do own an ipod and love to listen to things about Macintosh simply due to the clientele it seems to attract.  Especially with Leo, Merlin, et al.  They just make me laugh out loud.  David downloads all these netcasts that we listen through the week, which is a huge blessing as my home line still resides on dialup.  I can barely get mail at this point and I would probably sell out ad time to Qwest in exchange for DSL.  I can’t do cable as cable is poison to the home (i.e. 57 extra channels of nothing educational or stimulating).

I almost forgot to post today due to not being at work (Memorial Day Holiday).  But I do want to thank all the folks who serve and have served this country in a military role.  You’ve been a blessing to the entire country no matter what the anti-military crowd says.  You are the reason we all have a free voice today.  For this I thank you and pray for you.
