Drew and I got together the other day and he showed me around his new office. Afterward we pulled a couple chairs up in my back yard and had a couple Ashton Classic Churchills. My first experience with an Ashton cigar was very good; it was smooth and pretty mild, very well made. This experience was no different.

During this time we decided we should start a Cigar club of sorts, meeting occasionally. Let me know what you think.

This is probably an egregious mis-quote, but here’s the gist:

“God probably just got tired of having control of all that money so he said to Bill ‘here ya go, I don’t really need this.’”

Of course we’re talking about Bill Gates.

The connection at work has been painfully slow since we switched from our $900/month ACD/KMC T1 to an $80/month TDS XData about a year and a half ago.

I contacted Comcast on Monday and on Tuesday faxed them the paperwork they had emailed. Today (Friday) they came around noon and did the installation (20 minutes) and at 1:30 I made the necessary changes to our killer firewall. The speed tests I did came up something like this:

Xdata (partial T1) – 450k
Cable (corporate) – 4600k

It’s mostly a beaufitul thing. On the inside of our firewall, though, the speed is only two or three times as fast.

It’s good anyway.
