Verizon just hooked up our ADSL. It tests at 2.58 Mbit down, 690 Kbit up. Great, except that it's PPPoE and I can't keep a TCP connection up more than about an hour. If you're wondering why every 45 minutes my IRC nick changes bronson -> bronson_ -> bronson__ -> bronson___, it's thanks to grandfathered dialup technologies and lazy telcos. I am constantly SSHing back into remote hosts and recovering edit sessions. Arg!! Hurry up FIOS!.
On the other hand, maybe this will finally get me to set up proper VPNs.

Apparently I just moved into The Cave. I discovered my new apartment had history when I found Nat’s LinuxWorld Expo 2001 badge and some keys in a closet. Good omen or random coincidence? Time will tell. (Links from google.)
Notice how white paint is carelessly slathered over everything? Beautiful mouldings, glass, latches, doors frozen shut, everything is carelessly obliterated with thick generic latex. At one time (the 80s?) this apartment was really nice. It’s tragic.
