Here I sit.. freezing in my chair at work. The phone is not ringing, and thats ok. The thermostat above me says its 71 but I know its lying.. I hate when devices do that!
ok, now it’s even worse, every minute the phone is ringing… and disconnecting as I answer it.
Today I made a decision to drop the home phone and DSL and go back to Comcast for internet. I am sharing my connection with my neighbor Kevin and 1.5 Mb is just not cutting it at all. I cant even get pages to load if he is connected to my WIFI.
How does one tell their employer that they are jumping ship on internet because the service is too slow?

Sometimes in life we make choices that seem good; but we end up shooting ourselves in the foot. I made one of these choices when I decided to let my employer host my website. After around 6 weeks of trying to get my blog and site back up and running I moved my entire domain this weekend.
GoDaddy with its everpresent logins is not a part of my life anymore. Cybermesa is no longer holding my data… just my DNS at this point. If I am connected to the internet via cybermesa.com I cannot access my web stuffs. I am told its because they have not updated the name servers from internic since yesterday morning.. this is generally done every 24 hours.
I guess there is safety in this.. I don’t have to worry about them reading my blog!!

in my effort to streamline finances I have opted to change from Qwest DLS to Comcast. This should not only make my bills lower, it should increase speed. IT took 6 weeks for Comcast to realize that I do live right next door to another customer, therefore my address must exist.
Last saturday morning after waiting 2 weeks for a connection date my technician arrived 2 hours early to install only to discover that the maintenance man opened the wrong communications room. He was also not home so the install had to be rescheduled. BLAH I say! they rescheduled it for june 2nd.
This should not in itself be bad, however I had also arrange with Qwest to disconnect the DSL today. They did, with percision and perfection.. leaving my internet dead in the water.
I called up my trusty Verizon Wireless. and within minutes was connected via a tethered Blackberry. I have 5 GB and a month free, but I will only need a week.
so I count the bytes… (and chew them 30 times)
