More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.
And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.
Now, go buy some books.

And finally, here are a few books I might recommend for your edification and amazement.
What's the Matter with Kansas?
Yep, just about a month on the nose since I last posted something here. I've been posting on another blog and experimenting with other things. I don't have the time I once had to devote to things computer, so moving on takes much longer. The depressing thing is that, by the time I move on, what I'm moving on to is already obsolete. *sigh* But this isn't what I really want to talk about today.
I am about to switch ISPs, or, rather, DSL providers. They are, of course, one in the same thing. It's become an economic rather than emotional issue. I've been with Earthlink, and its predecessors since some thing like 1994. Before that I was a Delphi subsciber and, before that, a Compuserve member. And that brings us back to before there was an actual Internet. But I digress. I am moving from Earthlink to Verizon primarily because Verizon implies speeds almost 9x faster downstream and 3x faster up. And all this for about $12/mo fewer dollars.
This almost sounds like a no-brainer except that I did this last year also. Last year, though, Earthlink made a counter offer that was close to what Verizon was offering. So, I cancelled the move because it was worth the few extra dollars not to have to go through this. This year, when I informed the customer service guy at Earthlink that I was cancelling my account, all I got was the canned patter for their regular service. Of course, I suspect that the customer service person I was talking to lives somewhere on the Indian subcontinent and doesn't have a clue about what he is really talking about. It would be nice to actually talk to a fellow citizen, but, in this day and age, that is probably too much to expect.
The long and the short of all this is that there is a very good chance that this URL is going to disappear in the next few days. I will post my new URL on both of my other blogs as soon as I know it. The LiveJournal feed is over to the left someplace, and my other Blogger site is http://guaridadezorro/blogspot.com. Both of these should be unaffected by the move.
OK, that's all for now. You may now continue whatever it was you were doing before this public service announcemnt. *grin*
