Twitter IM
I'm having zero luck with the IM feature on Twitter. It says it's always down for maintenance.
The Facebook Twitter application is still a little flaky but it seems to be better than it was a couple of days ago.

Updated Version of MT
Don't ask me how I missed this, but i just assumed that my ISP who hosts Movable Type for me automatically kept the version current.
Apparently not.
I got it upgraded this weekend after wondering why after two years I wasn't seeing any new features in the software. Can't believe it didn't dawn on me to inquire sooner.
Oh well, comments and trackback are back on again with the hope that the spam filtering is going to be effective. (I shut them both off awhile ago after being overwhelmed by spam activity).
So that should be make this a little more fun again.

How did the Courtney Jobse tale end?
d:notes by Derek Leverington: Courtney Jobse
So I did up this post the other day to try and track down a friend of mine what moved away about a year and I had been unable to track down.
So, I ended up hearing from him. And how you may ask?
Facebook.
Of course.

Broadband > or = 2Mbps?
House Dems: Broadband isn't broadband unless it's 2Mbps
This via Ars Technica. Apparently there is a move in the US to have the FCC redefine what broadband is. The discussion is that the definition needs to be increased from 200 kb to 2 Mb.
Sounds radical in a sense considering that a lot of ADSL high-speed runs at 1.5 Mb.
I've been using a service that runs at 256 kb lately, and it sure doesn't feel like high-speed especially when you're used to using a 5 Mb service as I've spent a lot of time doing.
I think there does need to be a concerted push to get most home broadband up to 25 Mb. Just odd that it's the government giving this a push in this case rather than consumers or the ISPs.

Courtney Jobse
Hey dude a.k.a. Courtney Jobse, in a few months when you see this on Google, email me already. Or track me down on Facebook or something.
Haven't heard from you since you punted to B.C.
You should have my email, Courtney Jobse, you can track me down easily enough on my gmail or hotmail account.
Look forward to hearing from you soon Courtney Jobse.

Today is May 6, 2007, day one of the experiment.
(It'll be interesting to see how long this takes).
