Your Day

Cox cable guy came today to hook up the modem. The guy said they don't run LAN cables anymore (liar?), but he had some Cat-5 and everything to do the cables so I got him to let me make some cables and run them. Anyway... Got some pretty fast intarwebz now. 11mbps downstream. Time to destroy some BC2.

So weird... I never realized how slow DSL was until now.

Throw me a safety rope! I'm dying in this AT&T DSL shit.

Let me adjust these shrimp antennae... you should catch my wireless signal exceptionally well with the aid of marsh algae.

Maybe you should catch an extra gator to help power everything if we're going to be sharing it like that

Will do. We tend to cook and eat them afterward though, so if you're down with that... fried gator tail sound good? (tastes like fish and chicken at the same time. Amazing.)

Oh yea, I found out that my COCKS cable internet has a bandwidth limit. Boooo... Well, it's 200 GB per month and then they throttle you... but you'd have to download around 8 movies a day (at 750MB a piece) for 30 days straight to reach the limit, even accounting for standard web browsing in between. So I guess I'm not all turned off by it. I doubt I'll ever reach such epic downloading proportions.

It's just so freaking speedy! I type a url, and the whole page shows up instantly. I'm just so not used to this.

Has Cox ever shut you down for downloading illegally?

I've had gator before, that shit's legit. I am super jealous of your download limit, Shaw, one of the providers in Vancouver had different speed packages, but all had the same bandwidth limit for each package. With 4 people in the same apartment, all avid downloaders they breached the limit (I forget what it was) in little time at all.

Anyways my day was marked by some work, a drive to Nevada's capitol to deliver a tub of broken glass and single crossbow bolt (don't ask), and a trip to some used bookstores. I made out like a bandit too, 3 Vampire The Masquerade clanbooks and a beginner's guide to HTML for less than $20. Going over to a friends place soon to watch the third season of The Wire

Asked my girl yesterday and my girl said yes

Took her out on a surprise morning picnic in the boat and drove off to these cliffs by the sea where we had a breakfast on a sunny little mountain top with a gorgeous view. I wanted to propose to her by the sea in the place I'm from, so that was perfect.

After that, I rehearsed for a concert we're playing with our folky shanty band on friday. We have this red little boathouse we play guitar in. Then, me and a mate from the band took the boat out to fish a bit before the sun went down. The ocean was quiet and the skies were amazing .. didn't even look real, looked more like a painting. Just before sunset, it was all vivid colours and there was a cloud in front of the sun, but huge shafts of sunlight was piercing through it here and there.

And we saw dolphins, although they didn't jump or anything. That's a rare sight down here. I also caught a bit of fish, 9 mackerels and this other strange thing I don't know what's called in english. Gave 5 away and then me and the GF had the other 4 for supper, just fried in the pan with a bit of lemon, salt, pepper and parsley.

Pretty close to a perfect day

Congratulations Tore! Thats great news! Sounds like both a great day and way to ask her too.

FETCHER. · 07-22-2010, 06:46 AM

Oh congratulations!

I don't even know what to say! It sounds like you thought about it for a long while, and it sounds perfect! :O
