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.

Good TV this fall?

Here are some of the series I’m looking forward to this fall.

Heroes (so long since this was on)
Fringe (Looks cool, will see)
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Enjoyed it’s short first season. And Summer)
Stargate Atlantis (Season five is underway now, so far so good)
Lost (need to see the season finale though)

There surely are some other shows I’m missing.

I like the time/alternate reality sci-fi

I’m a sucker for the time travel or alternate reality science fiction like in the recent Stargate Atlantis episode Daedalus Variations. Favorites in the same vain in other series include, Fractures (TNG), Time and Again (VOY). I’ve also tried to put the time-bending into the Star Trek role-playing plots on Star Trek Space Fleet. Mostly meeting ourselves from the future. One day I’ll flush out my ideas.
