When your sitting at your desk and your thinking, ‘man, I just wanna go home.’ or your thinking you wished you could just work from home; wouldn’t that be awesome. You need to think about what your saying and try to understand the requirements to work remotely.

You need to understand there’s trade off’s and that working remotely can be a double edged sword.

It’s not all ‘this is easy this is fantastic and to Hell with all those other guys.’- nah- there’s more to it than that.

The concept of working remotely is nice as a passing thought, especially when those days can be just absolutely beautiful; the skies are blue, fresh cut grass, birds chirping and the billowing clouds the glide through. I know, I’ve been there.

CNET publishes this article about Finland passing a law that every person has a right to 1mb broadband speeds.

This is what I’ve been saying all this time. Not everyone needs 6mb downloads, but everyone needs access to the web. There are too many resources now that are provided by the governments for citizens not to be given basic access to the Internet.

Having Internet service has established itself as a basic right.

I just wanted to say I know that there’s not been anything posted from me lately and this isn’t going to be the norm. I’m in the process of moving right now and I’ve not been able to sit down at a PC lately and I don’t have a fancy iPhone thingy.

In addition to my moving woes, AT&T has eff’d up my phone and Internet service. They didn’t hook it up, they didn’t verify it and they didn’t even ask me if it was working. So now I’m sitting around waiting 5 days for AT&T butt heads to come to my house to fix it.

Thanks for dropping by and I’ll be returning soon.

Thanks,
LHenryJr.

It’s the best thing to hit the internet since email, or the Pamela Anderson videos…  [smile]

Time Warner Cable has screwed up so badly on their decisions to not only impose caps on monthly bandwidth [and charges], but they have actually blundered the implementation SO BAD, it’s sparked a call for government oversight!

It’s amazing what’ll happen if you piss enough people off; or if your abilities to make decisions are over shadowed by the fact you lack synaptic action to take the tin foil off the pop tart before you eat it.

I’m not really stating anything that already hasn’t been thought about, but you have to sit back and realize that smart phones and portable Internet enabled devices are growing by leaps and bounds.

First, the PC was outsold by the laptop and now the Internet portable devices are pulling that gap closed.

And while you read that statement your asking what’s next?

Well, your answer would be the silent little ‘airband’ cards the various cell phone carriers are offering.

No one likes having to use a ancillary device to get Internet service; especially a laptop, but this pain seemed to end with laptops having WiFi capabilities built in to the laptop; thus is why I think the Netbooks are so popular right now.

Time Warner Cable is agreeably the worst Internet provider right now. They’re practicing old dial-up and metering services for Internet service. In the locations where TWC is ‘beta testing’ this new method of billing customer’s they have this online metering service that informs the customer how much surfing they have left before they start using their service.

By the way, you’ve to use your bandwidth to check your bandwidth, to see if you’re over your bandwidth limit. It’s like banks charging a NSF fee when they know you don’t have any money.

Now when your installed the tech says you’ll get a automated email to sign up; Don’t. Matter of fact, don’t even use their email.

Apparently, if you don’t sign up for the monitoring service, the boys at Time Warner Cable won’t know to bill you.

Microsoft Hotmail, MSN and LIVE accounts are littered with requests for sex, porn and adult content; and Microsoft doesn’t care. It seems they make absolutely no efforts in stopping or filtering this kind of solicitation.

I use my Hotmail account because it’s my oldest email account I’ve, it’s the most established. For as many Internet Service Provider’s I’ve had, Hotmail has always been a fall back point, but now it’s a thorn in my side.

The Hotmail spam filter functions are crap; I get Instant Messaging invites from people all the time ‘…look at my SEX cam’ OR ‘… I need a SEX partner’ crap. Not only this, but the people are able to hack and spoof other peoples accounts, people you know. Making it look like someone you know is offering ADULT content or services.

WHY?! Are you serious?

First, your ISP is going to use this as a hook tactic.

If you get an email account with them, get established, telling everyone [friends and family] what your email address is and you sign up on every website you run across using that address, it’s going to be a show stopper when you want to switch ISP’s; AND YOU WILL.

You need to be looking at web-based email [Google, yahoo, Hotmail and many others] accounts as your default account. They are global, they’ll have your address book. You can get to it from any place that has Internet service. It makes perfect sense.
