Not Much More than Friday's Blog

Still haven't had time to find a good charity to put up here.  It is that time of year for Cancer walks, etc.  If there is one in your area, throw $5 or $10 their way.  It is amazing how lots of people giving little amounts like that adds up.  It is funny how much I say "every little bit counts" around the office about the donations of $5 or $10 we get.   We have a couple that sends us $5 for every obituary in their local paper (in honor of the person who passed away).  Last year that added up to $475.  That is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

Hello, Comcast?  Are you people retarded?  Yep.  My interent went down again yesterday.  It was only for an hour or so.  But dadgummit if it was during some prime gaming time.  The wifey almost always takes a nap on Sunday afternoons.  I always fire up the 360 then.  Well about 1:30 she heads toward the bedroom with her stuffed animal of a dog and I fire things up.  Get a couple of matches in and suddenly, BAM!  Connection Interrupted.  Stupid host leaving the game.  But wait.  It hasn't sent me back to the lobby.  Crap.  It's frozen up.  "Disconnected from Xbox Live" pops up.  WTF?!?  I go check the modem.  No signal.  Again.  So I go call Comcast.  It must be bad this time.  Busy signal the first three times and then I finally get through.  Sit on hold for 20 minutes and I just give up and go out to the shed to work on finishing the table I am working on.  Come back in later and everything is fine.  Oh how I dream of a day I can get a decent connection for less than $60 a month and it actually be reliable.
