Life is GOOD.

Life is GOOD.

2001-02-06 by mate_stubb@yahoo.com

1. I'm playing hooky from work today, because I have to wait for the 
cable modem to be installed.

2. No sooner do the cable modem guys leave, than my wife hands me a 
UPS package with my Encore UEGs.

3. Life is GOOD.

Bastard.  :)

I got my cable modem about 2 weeks ago.  Tasty!  I thought I was spoiled by
the quasi-T1 at work, but wow!  That cable modem's FAST!  I won't mind the
extra cost per month.

Now if I could only get out of work for a few days to spend with my
soldering iron.  Tomorrow we're having ISO certification, perhaps that would
be a good time... ;)

Downtime?  You mean when @Home decides to blow away their servers and leave
all their poor helpless customers in a lurch?  They already did that once
with the newsgroup server-- took them 2 days to fix the durned thing.

Of course, with my luck, they'll crap out right when I need to get online to
check out some 822 / 831 construction details.  Urg!  :)

Support a established, reliable local service. Its fun and keeps people working
in your area.

No other choice for me. To far away from the telco switch to get DSL, 
and after watching my boss spend 24 hrs installing Starband, only to 
have his bandwidth yoyo up and down, up and down - @Home was about 
all I could get.

Yes, indeed it is, both an MOTM 440 kit and a largish check arrived in 
the post today. What does that organic flux solder smell like? It is 
familiar but I can't quite get it.

Yep, mine arrived today also.  Looks great Tony.  I hope to get it powered
up tonight... But, I may not make it.

Almost, close but not quite related. I've returned to school, to get, 
you guessed it, (seeing as that my name is Paul and I'm on this list) 
an EE degree, and today I saw some financial aid. I've been listening 
to Jimmy Rodgers and soldering ever since ( the package arrived)

Rats!  My Expressionist arrived and they decided to route my 2 UEGs through
South Carolina instead of TX.  They all must have shipped together.  I
should get my today.

Cheers!

P.S.  Where did Curly go?  It seems like I am always filling in for him!
Wise guy, huh!

P.P.S.  Are there any women on the list?  Or MOTM customers at least?

Plus they will be crushed like ants when Paul starts making similar modules!
