My even faster internet speed.

This is the fastest recorded internet speed I’ve ever had, ever. I don’t know what’s causing these crazy speeds but I like it.

My fastest internet speed yet is back.

This is the fastest recorded internet speed I’ve ever had. This is slightly faster than before my internet went out.

My slowest internet speed ever, with InsightBB.

This is the slowest recorded internet speed I’ve ever had with InsightBB. On this day my internet speed continued to degrade as it got colder and colder. I called Insight and they couldn’t find anything wrong. But they were kind enough to sit on the phone with me for nearly an hour while we determined it wasn’t my equipment. I went ahead and scheduled an appointment just in case. Once the temperature reached 8 degrees I had completely lost my internet connection. I hate the cold.

I ended up canceling my appointment with Insight because my internet came back the following day without anything changing on my end. I saw one of the Insight trucks in my neighborhood repairing a problem. My following posts shows that I was back to normal speeds. I’m quite happy with the support and service from Insight. Of course I never like being without internet.

WordPress Desktop Client

While I spent a lot of time trying to find the best desktop and demoing all the available ones I’ve made my choice.

I’ve decided that with the release WordPress 2.7 I have no need for a desktop client. The new layout and look of the interface is very pleasing. I’m willing to only post when i have an internet connection or from my iPhone.

My fastest internet speed yet.

This is the fastest recorded internet speed I’ve ever had.

WordPress 2.7 Upgrade

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.7, of course this was before all of the plug-ins and themes I’m using have been listed as compatible. Hopefully I won’t see too many problems but I expect a few. What can I say, I’m a bleeding edge kind of guy.
