The conversion from Time Warner to AT&T DSL is complete. It took a little more time than I anticipated because I didn’t realize their are no phone lines in my office where this server sits. So the server’s on a wireless network adapter now and seems to be going strong – static IP and all. I’m still hosting the DNS with No-IP.com because they’re paid for the remainder of the year.
The world’s focus is on the US economy now and so is mine. My rants in the coming months will focus primarily on this topic. I won’t be watching my language because let’s face it, we’re screwed. We’ve got job losses, banks are struggling because of loans that can’t be paid back, house values plummetting almost everywhere and gas prices that are through the roof. Put $1000 under the mattress and get ready to ride out a depression that makes Grandpa’s look like fun.
The talk show pundits make it sound like it’s going to be alright. The market is “correcting itself” they say. I laugh at you sirs. Please do your part to keep hope alive. As soon as gas hits between $5 and $6 a gallon and the trucking strikes begin you better have food in the house because I hear there’s only 3 days worth on any grocery stores shelves at any time. Gentelmen, start your gardens.
