Not really, we just like the name…
The ISDN line is gone…
The ISDN is history…the link light went red on Friday, so I guess the “five working days” have passed. The ADSL is still working fine, but the HomeNet broke yesterday — one of my $19.95 special network interface cards died! After procuring a new card (had to spring for $29.95 this time!), the HomeNet is alive and well again.
All the dotcoms…
Happy New Millennium to all! And yet one more time I’ve changed web hosting providers. GXHosting.com is going out of business on 31 January 2001. I’m now using DellHost and DreamHost for hrpr.com and halfvast.com, respectively. Along with GXHosting, lots of other dotcoms that were out there in 2000 have disappeared.
For football…
Its September now but unfortunately, the August weather here in the DC area has arrived, albeit a bit late! August was relatively cool and rainy as opposed to the norm of high 80s to mid 90s and unbearable humidity. The Washington Redskins open the season tomorrow against the Carolina Panthers and of course, rain and high humidity are predicted. And, the price of both seats and beer at Fedex Field went up this year to help pay for all the high priced help the Redskins picked up through free agency during the off-season!
Football..
Monday Night Football is back! The Hall of Fame game is on. Won’t be long before I’m at Fedex Field watching the Washingon Redskins…the best team money can buy!
Bikers galore
Left work at 0200 and back there again at 0900. So much for the three day Memorial Day weekend. And work has really been restricting the time I have to work on the web site. But, hopefully, I’ll have a bit more free time in a couple of weeks when the project I’m currently working on starts to slow down a bit.
I live in the Washington, DC area and there are lots of bikers in town for the annual “Rolling Thunder” motocycle ride to the Vietnam War Memorial. Quite an impressive site!
A Palm PDA…
Its “Super Bowl” Sunday and its snowing here again. Looks like its going to be a lot. Its been coming down for about an hour and there’s already over an inch of new snow — and I just got the driveway and sidewalk cleared from the last snowfall yesterday! What else is new? Lets see…I am now the proud owner of a Palm IIIx Organizer…I finally got tired of losing all those little scraps of paper with, names, telephone numbers, meeting times, etc. Don’t know if this will all work out, but its worth a try (as long as I don’t lose the Palm IIIx or run out of AAA batteries. 🙂
