I created a blank document with the blog post template and I’ll see if it goes to my blog, which has little content. I should place some of my Star Trek log writing there.
Had to make the switch

I just had to get out from Windstream’s high latency connection over to Time Warner’s. The latter is not tied down to the distance to the CO. At first the connection went south, but after a line replacement from the house to the pole everything is going well. Latency to Garithos (Los Angeles) is between 100 and 200 and not 500-1000ms.
Time Warner does not run their own newsserver, so I’ll have to get one if I want. It has been nice to both play wow, both watch a movie and have Netflix running on the Wii at the same time. Also got their really too big digital cable box. Nice having favorite programs in HD. Need to explore the tv listings more for programs I want to see.

A new theme for a site I forget to update. What’s new in review?
- Still playing WoW, new guild however.
- Watching Netflix on the Wii = nice. No Pandora on the Wii = why not?
- Writing more for my sims at these sites: Federation Sim Fleet, Star Trek Simulation Forum and United Space Federation. Mostly the latter.
- Windstream connection has been flaky at night. Investigating switch to TimeWarner if it does not clear up.
- Kids are seven and two now.

Iphone and wordpress

Just a short note here as I am writing this on a iPhone via the wordpress app. Seems pretty decent for writing especially with the corrections.
Got a new router from 2wire for wired and wireless. Works really well and the margins are such as I can ask about six megs again.
Happy Birthday and where’s my bandwidth

Happy Birthday to my daughter who is now five years old. Thankfully she is saying she is five and not three. I’m not sure she’ll see this, but perhaps in the distant future when the blog becomes popular (long awkward pause).
Well then, now my internet connection has really taken a dive. I get 325 down and 325 up. I should get about nine to ten times more bandwidth. I called Windstream and they gave me a ticket. Not a golden ticket to a candy factory though. They are supposed to get to it tomorrow. The good news is I can still do posts and play WoW and Quake. Too bad this is my vacation.
