The new thingy on my blog.

Guess, what? I put a new thingy on my blog. See it on the right? There’s been talk about Net Neutrality in the U.S. for awhile now, but there hasn’t been much talk about it up here. I think that’s because were too polite for our own good sometimes. We just shut up and accept things for as they are.

I remember awhile back when I had my Vonage phone, the service would really suck because Shaw was throttling my bandwidth, but Shaw was nice enough to offer me the option of pay an extra $10 a month so that my Vonage phone would work properly.

I know that this is a hot topic in the U.S. and it’s recently reared it’s ugly head in the UK, over the BBC’s new video service, though we don’t hear about stuff like this in Japan, Korea and Finland. Why is that? Simple, really, cause they have BIGGER TUBES than we do.

What really bothers me is that companies in Canada (and the U.S.) are too damn cheap, in expanding their network. They CLAIM, that they have fast networks but when you actually try and get the speed they promise, it never happens, and dammit, sometimes you need to download porn at a really fast rate.

It’s not at the point where’s it’s interfering with my City of Heroes game and that REALLY pisses me off. I know what I paid for, now give it to me or give me a refund.

Oh, and if seems confusing, the here's a video done by a Ninja to explain it all.

You doon't need to know this.

Ever wonder if something is blogable or not? You sit there and wonder if this is something that should be shared, or kept to yourself. I started a blog post and after a few sentences, I asked myself, “Do people really need to know this?” This is the post in question.

“I had an issue where “something” wasn’t the right colour so I did some research. I checked out this web site and I make some interesting discoveries.”

After I typed that sentences and put in the web link, I asked myself. Do people care about “that topic”. Do they really need to know that I discovered that the Safeway Brand Grape juice crystals are turning my…you get the point. So there are indeed some things that I shouldn’t blog about.

I do have one cool time saver breakfast trick I want to share though. Take a handful of your favorite cereal and put it in your mouth, drink but don’t swallow some milk and then chew the cereal with the milk and TAA DAA Instant breakfast.

There’s one thing that I haven’t mastered yet though, it’s discovering what posts are going to trigger the most comments. I could go days without a comment and then I write something which I think is just Yadda Yadda and BAM !!! Comment City. Perhaps the key is not to try? Does Jay try? I know she gets major comments and is (we’ll I think so anyway) a A-level blogger, Comparing her blog and mine is kind of like comparing a Academy award movie to a an episode of Beavis and Butthead. I’m not saying that this is a bad thing, sometimes we need something with some depth and sometimes we just want to watch those 2 boys do something stupid. Oh, and secretly, sometimes I enjoy doing stupid things, like blogging about the colour of my…never mind.

Surfing at work.

I’m trying to look busy because someone else in in this office. I’m going home in 25 minutes and I don’t want to start anything new/ I was playing minesweeper (cause I’m White and Nerdy) but I can’t until this person goes away. The person in this office is a nice person and she does have to send an e-mail or two, but dammit, I just want her to leave. Go away, quit sending e-mail about crap. The worst part is that I can’t see what she’s doing. She could be on EBay for all I know, but I’m not going to check, because it would be rude. Rude Rude Rude.

Actually it’s about 20 minutes before I leave. I’m pissed off too because I forgot my lunch at home today and I’m HUNGRY. Perhaps the backpack would have helped shielded my from the homeless guy who decided to sit beside me, him and his raspy voice.

I know I shouldn’t be judgmental over someone who hasn’t had as much success and myself, but shit, he could have taken a bath in the damn shelter.

We’ll she’s typing now, not just clicking her mouse. This either means that she’s done reading and started to reply to the e-mails or she’s putting something new on EBay. Now she’s scrolling with her mouse and sighing. This must mean that she doesn’t like the shipping charge for the item being auctioned.

Ok she’s leaving now. I can go back to my little logic game. I play Minesweeper because I am White and Nerdy. I’m just scared that I’m going to turn my head and see Donny Osmond dancing.

My 2 Bytes,

I'm back, Kinda, but is this a Yadda Yadda?

I’m still blogging from work. In theory, I should be online by tomorrow night, but you never know. The way I figure it, all they will have to do is connect a cable in the phone/cable room and that will be that.

What really bothers me is that I having to go through all this bullshit in order to do something that will take a few minutes. My ISP was told by Shaw that they were booked up. This is total Bullshit. I’m not asking them to lay a shit load of cable. (Why doesn’t laying some cable sounds dirty?). Customer service MY ASS.

I don’t want to turn this post into a WAA WAA, I have no Internet post, so I’ll move on, even though I CAN”T PLAY CITY OF HEROES BECAUSE I HAVE NO FRIGGIN INTERNET.

To be honest, I get a lot of blog post ideas from the Internet. Who would have thought that porn would give me so many blogging topics? Ok Digg is a good place to go for ideas, and dammit Digg has normal news stories as well. Digg isn’t just for geeks anymore.

Speaking of ideas, ok neighbors down south, you guys are getting waaaaayyy to paranoid. The “poppy coin” is not, I repeat, THE POPPY COIN IS NOT A SPY DEVICE. I mean, REALLY? How good would it be as a tracking item. Everything is fine until the person hits a vending machine and then…”Sir, he’s been at the Pepsi machine for 3 hours, he can’t seem to decide what to buy”.

I read about a machine that can squeeze 8 hours of sleep into 2 or 3 hours. What I need to ask is, are we sooo busy that we have to live off of 2 to 3 hours of sleep? How will I explain this to my pillow? Will my pillow understand? More importantly, does this mean that we’re too busy to cuddle? What does this say about our society when we don’t have time to CUDDLE? Sheesh.

I was wondering, have Mel Gibson pissed off anyone lately?
