I seem to be taking more and more plunges technology speaking. Or is that web based speaking? With my new found, reliable, high speed internet service, I am finding more and more things I can do on the net. You can now get a hold of me on Skype. I have long been a user […]
Qwest DSL
February 3, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Qwest finally decided to turn on DSL out here in my neck of the woods. They had run fiber out for a central office several years ago but had resisted actually activating any kind of service. I guess they think Sonoita is backwoods and wouldn’t support turning on the service. Anyways, I have used a […]

Vacation continues to go nicely. I really needed some time off. The last part of the year at work was rough. I still haven’t decided if I am going to go back to work on the 2nd of January or delay until the 7th. I had been thinking the 2nd, but the kids are trying […]
Merry Christmas From DirecTV

We got a nice little Christmas present from DirecTV last night. They have begun to broadcast our local TV stations in High Definition. This is a big deal for us because we don’t watch very many TV shows if they are in standard definition any more. It’s just not as enjoyable. Living in the country, […]
