Impressive

I don’t know how she did it, but by the time I got home from work last night, Angela had already been on the phone with RoadRunner support and had the modem all ready for me to transport back to their office in exchange for a new one. A short trip to their service center and back, reconnect everything and bing! We have an internet connection again!

I don’t know what sort of sweet talking she had to do to get to Level 3 support and get them to see the bad modem that quickly, but I am impressed!

    We got to take a safari tour of The Wilds yesterday. We had been a few years back, but armed with some better camera equipment and a free pass to the extended safari, we were really excited to get out there and shoot some wildlife photos. It was quite fun. The highlight of the extended…

    As I told you last week, at my new job I’ve been completely consumed with the roll out of a new document management system that occurred at the same time that I started. Folks are still getting used to the new system, and still have tons of questions, which definitely keeps all of us in…

  • Nationwide wireless, and how to measure?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This New York Times article (registration required) talks about the plans of the bigco’s to look at rolling out a nationwide network for WiFi access. Sounds like an interesting idea, but are there enough people ready and willing to pay for WiFi to make it profitable? While I think people should want it, I’m not…

  • On second thought

    Maybe “toughing it out until 5” wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. In my weakened mental state I think I just agreed to do some on-the-side consulting work for an organization that I’m not all that fond of dealing with as part of my regular job! Oh well, it’s one machine, a couple of…
