Why Does My ISP Suck All The Sudden?
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 544 Kbps about 0.5 Mbps (tested with 579 KB)
Download Speed is:: 66 KB/s
Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/
Test Time:: Thu Feb 24 2005 23:58:57 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
Bottom Line:: 10X faster than 56K 1MB download in 15.52 sec
Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 14.28 % of your hosts average (mindspring.com)
Uh, scuse me? 66KB/s? WTF?
Point is, the $%*#& ISPs still suck major arse. They can’t keep up with the user base. Of course, these are all poor companies that don’t have a lot of capital to spend on those luxuries like, uh, upgrading the hardware.
Sweet Willy Rollbar. I’m pissed off.
destroyer.net
I’ve been listening to (and now recommend you listen to) the destroyer.net internet radio project. Killer DnB, breakbeat, etc. It’s pretty furious. If you haven’t had your coffee yet…
Enjoy! 
Philinux Journal Entry 20050219a : The End of the Beginning
The latest Paulinux journal entry is now available on the project site.
This entry covers the installation of the following packages:
Gawk, Coreutils, Bzip2, Gzip, Diffutils, Make, Grep, Sed, Gettext, Ncurses, Patch, Tar, Texinfo, Bash, M4, Bison, Flex, Util-linux, Perl and finally, Udev.
It will also wrap up the temporary system. This allows me to immediately begin the final Paulinux system build.
And now, for your moment of zen…
I hope you all enjoy your weekend more than this poor fool.
Pretty Sweet!
Techrepbulic.com
I found a pretty huge resource for goodies at techrepublic.com. Not sure if you geeks knew about this already or not. Lots of white papers, articles, discussion forums, etc. Everything related to the tech industry.
I find it to be a pretty solid companion resource when I want to dig into something deeper that I may have found through Information Week, etc.
Goodbye, Drew.
New Job Role
As of 02/15/2005 I offically accepted a new job within my current company as an “Internet Software Engineer”.
This pulls me away from my normal 2 – 4 week projects and will be focusing on all internal applications for the company.
So my work will most likely only be seen/used by coworkers. This is a great opportunity for me to utilize alot of new security techniques I learned about and also more Object Oriented Programming.
The New SB
Holy Crap. This kicks ass!
