“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...So Angry, I could breath fire
You know all those problems I've been having with my internet. Remeber that most of my packet loss from from Level3, outside Dallas. Well, check this shit out: Blackout shows Net's fragility "The source of [the] difficulties is a feud between two big backbone Internet...
Topic Bonanza!
There's about a million things I'd like to mention and at present I lack the motivation to discuss any of them at great length. It's not that they're unworthy topics, it's just that I'm lazy. I could be telling you about DiggNation, the weekly podcast I'm addicted to,...
The History of Complete Bordem
We went to see History of Violence tonight. Let me save you $8. Have you seen the trailer? Good, then you've already seen the most interesting parts of the movie. Shit, you seen the WHOLE movie. Why can't they make good movies anymore? Its not that the plot was bad,...
Back Home
Well, it was a hell of a week. Having left on Wednesday, it seems like we've been gone forever. Our place is fine, no damage, just a few downed trees here and there. I can't even tell if it rained. Our last place had some leakage issues with the window panes but our...
Day 3
Well, day three and we're still waiting. The crazy media machine has made it next to impossible to stop watching the coverage. We're still here at the ranch, dry and bored. Luckily the storm went east in the last few hours, missing Houston by about 80 miles. Of...
Rita
Well, we're up from a cat3 to a 4. Evacuations are being called for all over. I've already taken all the computers apart and I'm sending this via my Sidekick. Last night was crazy. People fighting over gas, long lines, people freaking out. It was a little over the...
Less internet, more Hurricane please
So, I call Time Warner and get them to run some packet loss tests on my modem. Finally, I get a wave of bad connection to happen while I have a tech on the phone. First it starts out with 10% packet loss to Dallas, then, while he's talking to me I hear "ohh, it just...
Wild Wild Web
Man, the internet is a crazy friggin place. Last night I was reading on Digg, my new favorite site by the way, that something insane was happening over at Methlabs with PeerGuardian. Apparently, the guy responsible for handling Methlabs and Blocklist.org's donations,...
Someone dies soon
So, I sit down for a few rounds of BF2 last night and I'm barely able to finish 1 map. I'm lagging so bad that the game is unplayble. I've seen and heard the horror stories from the people this happened to when the game was released, but as of two weeks ago I was...
Astros Game
I haven't mentioned it this week but Chris has been in Houston visiting his friend Doug. I phrase it like that because I'm getting the impression that Doug and his wife dislike me and that I'm some sort of 3rd wheel friend. You know what, I'm sorry, I've only known...
