I can't listen to my streaming MP3s while I'm in the office today because the connection breaks within five seconds or less of starting each time I try. A little poking around shows me why...

Those idiots at C&W strike again, although I guess I shouldn't be so surprised anymore. No entertainment for me today, I guess.

Where do you get those wonderful toys?

I don't know where mtr comes from, actually. I just 'apt-get install mtr' it.

The route looks pretty good from my home to yours.

Who is that lurking behind you in the picture? I just now noticed the guy facing away from you behind you, and the Phantom Watch Arm over your left shoulder.

I do not remember who that was behind me anymore, unfortunately. That picture was taken about two and a half years ago, when I was working a table at Further Confusion '00. For some reason I want to say they're associated with Conrad "Lynx" Wong, but that doesn't feel right....
