FiOS in less than 24 hrs.
So, we received a phone call from Verizon yesterday asking that we make accessible all things which the Verizon FiOS technician needs to access. The ethernet wires, the coaxial into-the-house (although I have an idea of relocating that), the televisions, and the telephone wiring (which I believe I want to switch around), I suppose. I [...]

So, I’m an avid EVE-Online player, and since my Optimum Online internet connection has been less than trustworthy this past week, I’ve had to find other things, less dependent upon a stable connection, to play.
My good friend Jim (pictured at his datacenter on the right) has set up a game called Black Nova Traders on [...]
It’s Too Cold in Green Bay, but for who?

It came to a total of $200 ±$4-6 per month, incl. all taxes and fees; the price is guaranteed for two years, with a [...]
Optimum Online 30/5 BOOST vs. Verizon FiOS 20/20
So after two weeks of deliberation with the family and whatnot, a representative from Verizon is coming today to explain his product.

In the spirit of a “first-poster”, this here, is my first post. First!
I’ve long avoided anything that is new, or present, or “in”, or whatever… Somehow, the idea of blogging has always stuck in the back of my mind. I can’t be sure why… perhaps it’s because the fucking things [...]
