Well, the mantra of all @Mets fans will be “these games don’t count”.

Best line read of the morning belongs to @vladduthiersCBS of @CBSNLive with: “I want to go back to ‘Morongate’.” https://t.co/NiNcSlikYo

So...now we have to wait for a new set of techs to determine where this fraking problem is and I still get time out errors when trying to use Siri.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/ewabbott

But no, the problem is not in our house. It is not with my network. It is not even from the tap to the house. It is a larger infrastructure issue. Which I pointed out to a tech two weeks ago when I was seeing issues between my house and the headend for my provider.

Cory, the tech who came out tested the signal. Then he ran a new drop. Then he tested on his own tester. Then he tested on his own modem. Then we ran power to the tap, and he plugged in his modem there. Then he even changed his patch cable, just to be sure.

However, our download numbers were problematic and the upload had not increased. So we scheduled another call for today.

First guy came out, said you have a problem, called a maintenance tech to fix the issue at the tap. Then the 2nd tech come out, replaced the faceplate at the tap and said everything looked okay.

For two weeks I have been complaining about a network latency issue with my provider. Last week, when our uploads had dropped to .25 mbps, and weren’t bouncing back, we scheduled a trouble call.

Remove Ready Player One, because it is neither good as a novel nor as a piece of nostalgia, and add Neuromancer because it has my favorite opening line in literature, "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." https://t.co/MgJhVSVsb1

Had this the other day. It was delicious. (LSS: I haven’t had a burger in months. Was having dreams about burgers. Went with @TheRealVarick to @GetRuckedTroy and this fit the bill perfectly.) #EatJoyTroy https://t.co/7DF2PxVx2t

I loved The Southern Reach Trilogy. Scenes from those books stay with me. VanDerMeer’s language about the way the light in Florida has are particular quality is always close to the front of my conscious. That being said, this was a fine film. Beautiful and weird (in the sense of the genre not odd or off putting) while asking some very real questions about why we do what we do. However, it was not the Annihilation that I had in my mind and suffered by comparison. Again, very good film. Probably a great film if I had not read the books. #Annihilation #BooksAndMovies #NewWeird
