Metaphore

Here is a bench someone put outside in pretty much the only place it is exposed to open sky and gets rained on. Notice the dry spaces around it. Notice how wet it is.

Fedora 14 is out

Fedora 14

is here and yes, they did use that awful backdrop (e:paul,52182). No matter how much they tried to change it, it sucked.
On the boot screen they faded it out enough to make it not noticable.

But on the login screen it is in your face bad.

The best part I have found so far is this new suggestive installer. When I try and run something I do not have installed it suggests I install it. I don't know how this slipped past all of the other reviews I found.

Upload Speed Inequality

I don't understand why I can't get decent wired upload speeds in Buffalo. Every month I pay $99 for a FIOS account out in the suburbs because the city has no comparable upload speed service.

I was looking at some FCC data for Buffalo and it seems like the wireless upload speeds are topping wired already. I recognize that this is not a huge sample source but seriously, this is just totally ridiculous.

Wireless Averages (in kbps)

Average Download Speed	10,896
Average Upload Speed	7,016
Maximum Download	15,168
Maximum Upload	8,171
Wireless Tests	39

Wired Broadband (in kbps)

Average Download Speed	42,640
Average Upload Speed	3,425
Maximum Download	83,163
Maximum Upload	3,747
Wired Tests	24

This product uses the FCC Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the FCC

Here is what I am getting on Time Warner in Downtown Buffalo, NY.

Asian food extavaganza

I had delicious sushi for lunch at Fuji grill followed by dinner at PF Chang's. PF Chang's has a whole Gluten free menu for (e:matthew)

I however got my gluten intolletance test results and I am not gluten intollerant just allergic to wheat.

My blood pressure was a perfect 110/70.

Tommorow I take a mercury test. I am so curious with all this hype about the dangers of fish consumption. If I don't have a problem then its all bullshit.

Bye Bye Building

Today they ripped down the building next to the one I work in to build a parking lot. The thing that surprised me is that they didn't strip it at all. They just came in and smashed it to pieces for the garbage. I am so jealous if the guy who smashed it down - it looked really fun.
