Don’t you just hate that?

So I went to see if I could start a download of Knoppix this morning and discovered that I was getting a whopping 1.9KB/second download speed on the CD image. Gee at that rate I’d be ready to burn the thing sometime next week! A quick switch of mirrors has me at a much better 30KB/second download speed. Let’s see if we can keep it up and have the image ready by the time I leave at 5? 🙂

If not, I’ll burn it tomorrow when I come in and then I’ll have it to use all summer, assuming I don’t find another job in the meantime.

    Gee with everything else going on around here, I forgot to tell you all about my trial run with Remote Desktop last night. It’s not exactly as sure-fire simple as the Sales guys made it out to be the few times I asked about it. First I setup the XP box at work to accept…

    Finally a day without fires to put out, maybe I can get caught up on the tech happenings around the ‘net this week: Windows 2000 SP3 is available. As Josh says in his pointer to it, there’s not much info on exactly what it does, so I’ll be following my normal “wait and let someone…

    From Jevon’s blog today: “I linked to http://www.mikemcbride.com instead of http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com yesterday. . . Imagine my suprise when I followed the original link today. Hijacking.” For the record, I am not affiliated with mikemcbride.com in any way, shape or form! I do not get involved in such extreme religious/political arguments. I’m just a geek with…
