So much for a nice relaxing evening.

2 things make Mrs. BEvans curse: cold weather and the way UK played last night. She mumbled a couple of choice words and went to sleep by halftime. Wish I could do it, too, but I suffered through. Coffee is my friend just about every day, but especially today.
Low 70's today in the Vile. Hope we don't skip spring and go straight to summer.
We've got a slight cool down over the weekend...40's & 50'sQuote:

I use a wireless tracball at work, and I guess I'll stick with it--but man, I love this mouse.
$16. Worth a lot more, IMHO.

That just needs a barrel coming out of it and it could be a ray gun on Star Trek.

Been really enjoying Henry McKenna BiB Bourbon. A damn excellent value, it has become my everyday drinker. 10yr, rye mash bill, single barrel (which means some bottle to bottle variability), 100 proof. A lot to love about this bourbon. Currently drinking a bottle from barrel 2960 and it is really damn good.
If any of you folks start feeling queasy and develop a dry cough, don't put much on your stomach. I thought I was dying or had appendicitis last night or something.
Went to a new dentist today. She graduated from the University of Kentucky. Great experience. My kids' dentist and my dentist now both from the Commonwealth, as well as my optometrist. Love them all. I promise, I did not seek them out because of their affiliation, but it has just worked out like that.
80 yesterday with some pretty good thunderstorms last night. Woke up this morning to snow flurries.

I would rather face the hounds of hell than use Photoshop!
Ohio again sigh.
Getting up at 4:00 am tomorrow to drive 291 miles for a 2 hour appointment, then turn around and head home, 291 miles so I can make an 11:30 appointment in western KY on Tuesday, just a 320 mile round trip. Just 900 miles for 4 hours worth of customer face time. Arrrrrgh
Darrell, this is one time I did not get to make my own schedule
Yeah, I'm not sure I prefer your schedule this time, Dan. That 4am on the getting up side, as opposed to the going to bed side, is at least as bad and potentially worse!Quote:

I will miss those arriving home at 3 am trips, too, and wish I could complain about them some more lol.
Extremely warm winter here in Kentucky, little snow (2.7" for the season here in Louisville--last year was 11.4").
Grass is greening up, early blooming trees are blooming, daffodils starting to emerge, AND just saw my first winged insect.
Makes me wonder what the mosquito/gnat/insect population is going to be like this summer.
I'll probably cut my grass for the first time in about 10-14 days.
80 degrees last Friday, and flurries Saturday morning.
Back to 60 today....

As much as I complain about going to watch soccer games in the rain, when they called off the soccer game this afternoon in Tuscaloosa, I was very disappointed. Messed up my entire afternoon. I work better when I have something to look forward to at the end of the day (like leaving early to go to a soccer game.)
Home, once again. As long as everyone stays out of my way, every trip is a winner.
Decided to test my LTE connection on my phone today while at work. That's better than my wired Internet connection back in Virginia, especially the upload speed.

Honestly, I think it might be even faster than that because Google Play Store downloads at 11MBps which is 88Mbps. I guess that's what having heavy competition does.

Flying, Pedro.
Holy crap. where is that? Do you live INSIDE a cell tower or something?
That's inside my building at work, in a suburb of Seattle. At the place I'm renting in Kirkland, WA I get slightly worse 57/11 speeds over LTE. Though tomorrow my home Internet gets hooked up, symmetric 150 for $70/mo.Quote:

Just to rub it in, here is my home connection installed today. Never had an upload faster than my download.

Incredible speed. Wow, that upload number.
That's pretty amazing actually.....
Pedro, I don't think I like you anymore. :)
This does btw highlight the gap in services in this country, just as electricity in the mid 1900s. I have buyers who are on such slow connections for our live simulcast internet biding that it's closer to dialup speed than broadband. They also have to pay through the nose for it. It's time for rural internet cooperatives (and there are in fact some of them).
It also highlights the price discrimination against businesses that IMO should be illegal in this situation where you have basically unregulated utilities. I can get 60 megs for my house for something like $30-$50 a month, for my business I pay over $120 for 10 megs. I can GET those kinds of speeds, I just can't afford it for a business, even though my business uses FAR less bandwidth than the average household streaming Netflix.
Things you can learn on Twitter and in Wikipedia:
This tweet about a Korean who served in 3 different armies--Japanese, Soviet and German--in WWII caused me to go to Wikipedia and read his story, which contained a link to another entry about an American Soldier who served in both the 101st Airborne and the Red Army during WWII:
Joseph Beyrle
According to the article, one of Beyrle's sons served as Ambassador to Russia from 08-12. Crazy stuff.

As for business service, it used to be that those were guaranteed speeds with guaranteed uptime and a guaranteed repair window. Unfortunately, for many cable type ISPs that is no longer the case. It is just more expensive consumer grade internet.Quote:

I have cable or dsl, that's it. Well Verizon has cell modems but those are even more expensive. So how do you have so many ISPs there? are they wireless or what?
Really interesting story.Quote:

There are three or four of those lines) kinds of providers, the apartment complex usually chooses one of them.
