Symphonious

Justen Erenkrantz comments on his day at the ball game and it reminded me of just how arrest happy the US police are. Police seem to be managed on a local level in the US so my experience with the San Francisco area police may not apply US wide. I’ve never seen so many people getting arrested in such a short time. For that matter I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone get arrested in real life before my trip to the US. While I was over there I was seeing at about two people a day getting handcuffed and carted away.

Maybe I was just spending too much time with the wrong crowd. <grin>

Well after a being so excited about getting my ADSL connection, my ADSL modem decided to crap out. Every so often it would just lock up hard - all the lights off except the power light - and stay like that even when power cycled. So yesterday I ordered a Billion 7100S which arrived today. It seems to be working after a slight bit of worry that it wasn’t getting an IP (turned out I’d turned the DHCP client off instead of the DHCP server).

So now I’m happily *and* reliably connected to the interweb thingy again. Yay for that.
