Yes, this site is faster than it used to be
Great news – the DSL modem came in yesterday and the Fuhry Kitchen Table is now officially high(er) speed. The transfer rates are 384Kbps and 1.5Mbps – not too bad considering the fact that 48KBps is about 16 times faster than the old dial-up line. We are well on our way to being up absolutely 24/7.
FYI: as of this writing BigMomma has been up for 4 days, 5 hours and 42 minutes. Our goal is to hit 2 months before she runs out of RAM and needs a reboot. And in that case all I have to do is switch a setting on my router so that the port is forwarded to Nighthawk, which will probably end up being a backup HTTP server or at least a MySQL server.
Ohyeah, nobody’s seen Pharaoh Atem (aka Linux Overlord?) for about 3 weeks now…pray for him…he starts choking when his connection bandwidth gets below 200KBps for more than about 4 hours straight 
He’s like the only guy I ever IM with for any considerable amount of time and I’m starting to wonder what’s going on.
Ok, I’m now officially a graphics designer.
