Connection-speed Tests

Speed test, modem and router both horizontal:
Speed Test 1: Modem and router both horizontal. Download speed 438kbps.

Speed test, modem vertical and router horizontal:
Speed Test 2: Modem vertical, router horizontal. Download speed 2185kbps.

You can tell there’s an enormous difference garnered from a 90-degree flip (this is over wifi, for the record). It could be from interference…whatever the reason, I’m keeping the modem vertical.

(Early) Happy New Year!

I’ll be at CCMC Winter Camp 2007-2008 from tomorrow through New Year’s, so I wish you all an early, very happy new year!

Merry Christmas!

…and a very happy new year to all!

UK-2 Group Acquires MidPhase

I just received an email telling me about this acquisition. Apparently none of the prices, packages, server locations, etc. will change; the only difference is the management. I hope nothing changes for us customers (their FAQ page about the acquisition assures us all will stay the same).

Gmail recently added several new features: group chat, colored labels, and AIM integration. You’ll still need an AIM account to use the new feature.

There’s a new option under the chat settings that lets you turn on AIM integration. If you sign out of Gmail chat, you’ll also sign out of AIM-integrated chat.
