Ask and ye shall receive

Wow. Look at this: Forbes.com: Trio to combine cell and wireless LANs. Sure it only works on Avaya Access Points right now but holy crap this is EXACTLY what I mentioned earlier. Can’t wait to see this technology proliferate. The end is nigh for the phone companies.

DNS Rapid Update

July 12th, 2004

One of the most irritating and arcane aspects of the internet has always been the slow propagation of DNS records. Well for the first time in memory VeriSign have done something good.

This couldn’t come at a better time for me. I’ll be switching all my sites over to my new DNS servers very soon and this just makes it that much less painful. Nice work VeriSign, course you should have done it ages ago.

Apple oughta listen to this guy

July 10th, 2004

Saw this on Business Week. I think the man raises some valid points. Apple products have long tempted me to switch from the hell that is the PC world but the pricepoint has always been a tad too high. I tend to “convert” to PC terms and find that I usually get a far better deal.

Of course I’m still waiting for the day that Apple finally decides to release their OS on the PC platform. How I shall enjoy removing Windows from my system. MUHAHAHA!

Greece Win

July 5th, 2004

Well it happened. The whole tournament came full circle and had the same result. What was worse is that from the very beginning it never once looked like Portugal were going to win it. ESPNSoccernet.com has the whole match summary as well as some interesting statistics and things. Should have bet on it. Would have made a packet.
