It’s about Freedom
Should be an interesting day in the Supreme Court today. What’s at stake? Everything.

Doesn’t do what???
Adam Curry: “However, if I want to subscribe to a weblog hosted by Google (blogger sites) or hosted on a MoveableType setup, I can’t. I need to use a second aggregator for the Atom feeds, or I need to ask the developer of my current news aggregator add support for Atom. Why should I have to do this when rss works just perfectly? Ofcourse I shouldn’t have to do this.”
He doesn’t actually believe that Movabletype doesn’t support RSS does he? I think maybe he’s been listening to Dave Winer too long.
Tioga Road Plowed
Hooray! The Tioga Road is plowed today! No proposed date of opening though. DOH!
Welcome to Lag City
So it turns out the problems that have been plagueing my network are apparantley caused by a couple of degraded Cat5e 10/100 cables I have strung around the upper perimeter of the room from the router to my desktop.
If I run a cable directly from my router to my pc or my Mac I’m fine but if I plug into one of the other cables it’s lag city. Pretty obvious huh?
Now the question is what caused the cables to degrade and how can i prevent it in the future?
Don’t even say “too much pr0n” Phil. Bastage.
WiFi Maps
Dane pointed me at WiFi Maps.com a few days ago and I totally forgot to post it.
Very cool if you intend on traveling. The maps show where the wireless network was received by the person who posted it to the web, not where the actual AP (access point) is located.
Tres cool sirs.
Damn Hot
While some parts of the country are experiencing snow and winter weather, here in the Heart of California we’re currently baking in 90+ temperatures. It’s great if you revel in misery or you’re from a cooler climate but to those of us who’ve lived here our entire life it’s an ominous warning of things to come.
Weekend Update
This weekend: house work, yard work and Iron Chef America.
Wouldn’t You Know It
It’s been little more than a year since we set up our home wireless network and wouldn’t ya’ know it, the router had decided to take a dirt nap. It would have been nicer if it had went out all in one fell swoop but no, it decided to take it’s time.
The new one is VERY impressive and MUCH MORE functional. Wth improved security features, support for 802.x, variable connection mode so 802.11b doesn’t drag down your 802.11g devices connection speed and a plethora of other features I can honestly say, Linksys rocks!
And the 54mbs wireless isn’t bad either. 
Put the Can Down!

Interesting. So there is some merit to something I’ve been saying for a LONG time. I don’t think the individual soft drink hurts but we’re so incline to drink multiples without realizing.
Burglar Caught Stealing Coffee
Yahoo! News: A man used a video camera to record his apartment being burglarized, apparently by a neighbor’s friend intent only on stealing coffee and creamer.
You can take my car. You can take my money. You can sleep with my wife. But, DON’T TOUCH MY COFFEE!
