Wednesday:
There’s a possibility that I might get DSL hooked up at my house. It’s a new internet connection
technology that blows away ISDN (in theory). It’s way faster than ISDN, and it’s way cheaper than
big connections like T1’s and stuff. It is a bit more expensive than ISDN, but it’s faster and
it’s up all the time (no dialing!). It’s better in lots of ways than cable modem because it gives you
guaranteed bandwidth while cable modem is just a big gob of bandwidth spread between lots of people.
Plus I can’t get cable modem service in my area and it won’t be available for “a year or
two” (quote from the cable company). Sheesh.
I’m not supposed to get too excited about it because they still have to check
the lines by my house to make sure I can get it… I’ll be heart-broken if I can’t… but I’ll
manage.
also, new thing in special sauce as of the 29th
