joost, bandwidth, and the intertoobs
What the hell joost, you were cool while I knew ye ... For the past couple weeks I've been suffering from this 'upgrade server not available' crap on the macbook. Fortunately a bell guy showed up a couple weeks ago to remove the VDSL filter that was cutting out my internet connection. While he was working I asked how far the CO is from the building and the good news was "here". Apparently this place is only a couple years old and is built on the site of a CBC broadcast station which would make it a great location to house some recently upgraded infrastructure.
At any rate the intartoobs are moving much quicker, and I'm cooking up a couple ideas to make use of the bandwidth.
