I've been giving my Sprint card a serious work out this past week. We're on a 2,800 mile round-trip taking my oldest son to school in Oklahoma. Sprint coverage is pretty consistent along the Interstates across VA/TN/AR/OK. Though the rougher the terrain, the more variable the signal. Overall throughput is decent as long as I have at least 2 bars, though I'm having to get accustomed to modem

Gotta be pretty proud of my youngest son, the budding actor. Kirk went to an extras call at American University last fall where they were filming a sitcom pilot, and he ended up landing the Featured Extra part: Ira Flagen, son of the advertising exec.The key scene in the episode, (the one where you can see Kirk), is at Ira's bar mitzvah where he's waiting for the distracted video guy to start

I just realized something that really rubs me the wrong way. I have become quite the expert at writing DOS bat files in the past couple of years. There are a couple of reasons this bugs me: 1) I come from a UNIX background, and the worse than lame facilities provided even in Windows XP really grates on my nerves. 2) I have cygwin installed on all my computers, so I have glorious shell facilities

I just got my Sprint data card, and I decided to see if it could maintain a TCP connection all the way home in the car. I figured the easiest test would be just to keep my IM client open. It keeps a heartbeat going and it will yell at me right away if the connection is lost.Well I got all the way home, (via the gas station and grocery store), without a hiccup. As I drove I could hear buddies

You say: "Ah Ha! That's how we should have done it in the FIRST PLACE!". But I'm thinking: the solutions we arrive at are the result of where we started and what we saw along the way.Apparently whatever you did in the first place, and then the second place ... was instrumental, since it ultimately got us to "Ah Ha!"Anyway, saying: "THAT'S how we should have done it" presumes that NOW we have

When someone shares an interesting concept with me, I like to ask:        "... for example?"
