Quite a week. Both my brothers visited, Ben has been to New York several times, Mike hadn’t travelled much. It was great having them here, even if we didn’t see half of what I wanted to show them. I wasn’t able to get much work done, but I should be caught up in a few days.

In addition to my brothers visiting, my DSL line finally died for good. This was expected and I’ve already got a new line ordered from Verizon but it won’t be turned on until Sept. 11. In the meantime I’ve got three machines sharing one 56k modem connection. I’m still waiting on a cable modem, my landlord won’t let Time Warner upgrade their equipment for some reason known only to him. I’ve actually got a ‘case worker’ at Time Warner who returns my calls. Someday I’ll write out a full history of my broadband saga, which continues to be quite a ride.
