I can get pretty close (950+ Mbps) when sitting in my office with my laptop plugged directly into the modem / router.

The plates for the new X3 came in a week. Anyone know what size the bolts are for the frame? I'm NOT going to give free advertisement for my dealer, so no frame. Want to put bolts in the bottom 2 holes. Since they didn't mount the front ( ) I can't scrounge them from there.

I'm living in a house with no running water today, with a porta-potty on the front lawn in the snow. Adding insult to injury, one of the faucet hose fittings in the bathroom vanity snapped off when our plumber tried to remove the hose. With any luck, we may have running water tonight...although I booked the porta-potty (premium, with sink and flushing toilet) for tomorrow as well just in case.....

I was so upset with the pipes being eaten alive by the water that I booked a plumber to rip out every shred of copper pipe in our entire house and replace it with PEX (plastic) tubing. My scope of work included a central plastic distribution manifold with individual shutoff valves, and each faucet run to one of those manifold valves with no splices whatsoever between the manifold and faucet connector. The plumber that I chose to do the job thought that I was crazy to rip out copper when he was quoting the project, but saw first hand this morning why I did it when he snapped the bathroom sink valve off trying to disconnect the faucet hose with his bare hands. Anyway, since it was a long-planned project, I had a few weeks of lead time to order a high end porta-potty with flushing toilet and a sink. I'm hoping that they will be done in an hour or so, but have the porta-potty for another day just in case it runs into tomorrow.....

Got some minor sunburn on my balding head from running errands with the top down today. In February.

My latest first world problem is having a company laptop and a company phone while still having to keep my own for personal business. They say I'm allowed to use the company equipment for reasonable use but I just don't trust them.

Company stuff goes on the company products (phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) Personal stuff goes on your personal products (phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) Pretty much anyone in your IT/HR department can check anything on your company product remotely. Um, no. I don't want MegaCorp to know I've had a fight with the wife/girlfriend (or both), am stressed about my M2 parts being delayed, I lost my line of credit at the bank, my cocaine habit's out of control, the cat's taken up gambling, etc. Keep your work life and your personal life separate. No good can come of things otherwise. As a case in point: We had one of our company's pilots called into the Chief Pilot's office because he'd apparently been surfing porn sites on his company iPad. That was bad. What was worse, was that it was happening at the EXACT time he was in the Chief Pilot's office-- which was sort of a puzzler. Turns out that his kid had been bogarting his iPad when he was home to watch porn. He had no idea until Company IT/HR caught him. There's a lesson in there somewhere..... |

I don't know if things have changed recently, but at one point in the past you had to pay federal/state income taxes for the service fees on a work-provided cell phone...unless you also had your own cell phone for personal use.....

Sometimes pick up little bits of crystal cat litter in the wool of my Ugg slippers.

If CBTL is going to let me just push a button and refill my card from PayPal without entering a password, why do I have to push the button at all????
