Quality Parking

Just got back from taking my wife to work, and right across the street from where she works was this quality parking job:



People buy these things because they think they're safe; they're not. They do eat a lot of gas and pollute a lot of air. Good to see one of them off the road. If you don't drive safe, ten tons of scrap metal isn't going to make you safe. 4-wheel drive only helps you go. It doesn't help you stop or turn.

Rudi Giuliani

This is an interesting video. Rudi Giuliani is not someone I'd want to be president. As with our existing leader, he is clearly someone who has a serious disrespect for human life.

Lack of Posts

Sorry, I have not been very active here recently but I've been really super-busy with business and financial issues.

I'm pretty sure from the feedback I get from him that my father would prefer I never post here. He thinks I'm a nut case and I think he is extremely materialistic. It's a frustrating and depressing situation to put it mildly.

We now have DSL in most parts of the United States where DSL is available. I would like to find some ways to provide it in Canada as well since we have a dial-up user base there too but data transport is so expensive in Canada that most providers only provide measured or capped service and I really do not want to do that.

Here in the States we can now provide broadband services to Qwest, Verizon, BellSouth, SBC/ATT, and Covad service areas (Covad is a CLEC based DSL provider and overlaps much of service territory of other ILECs).

Need to find a way to better track new orders and get them through more efficiently but we'll work that out.

I have added some photos to my gallery and recently re-arranged it to make them easier to find since I use them for web work among other things. Take a look, it's at http://www.eskimo.com/~nanook/gallery.

56k Web Page Reworked

I completed reworking the 56K dialup page, http://www.eskimo.com/dial/, in the new style I intend for the website. Lotta work but I think once the whole site is redone it will be more functional and pleasant to use.
