[ music | Depeche Mode – Route 66 ] I was in Houston a few weeks ago, and I had many hundreds of thousands of multi-megabyte files I need to shove through a 20Mbit upstream connection to Azure. Strictly speaking the problem here wasn’t how long it would take to send the file data, that […]
[ music | Lady Gaga – I Like It Rough ] I’m lucky enough to have AT&T Fiber for gigabit internet, and while the rest of my network stack in the house is Cisco Meraki, I can’t afford an MX250 to use the whole pipe, or even an MX100 for 75%. Used to use a […]
[ music | Nine Inch Nails – I Do Not Want This ] I went to LensCrafters on Friday, November 4. The eye exam went fine. The production of glasses went less well. I do not claim this goes for all LensCrafters locations, but I’m sure as hell done with this one. But first a […]

[ music | Rilo Kiley – So Long ] I’ve been neglecting my blog all year. For this,my dear readers, I apologize. I shall endeavour to be a better blogger in the new year. Between a really busy real life, and Twitter, I’ve just neglected to sit down and write up much. Even my previous […]
[ music | U2 – Freedom for My People ] Communication is key to a free society, and instrumental in helping a people liberate themselves. Radio helped win World War II. Television and helped bring down the Berlin Wall, and the Iron curtain. Right now, the Internet is helping the people of Iran try to […]
APNG is a good thing. Some people think it’s not, that it’s just Mozilla carving its own course. It’s not Mozilla just being difficult, it’s that MNG missed the mark by a mile. Don’t believe me?
