+I got both cable modem and SDSL working together (ie  multiple routes to internet, the same setup we had when <a href='http://www.snowman.net/'>Stephen</a> lived here).  <a href='http://plorf.net/linux-ip/html/adv-multi-internet.htm#FTN.AEN1722'>This  page</a> explains how to get multiple routes working.  Heard about the CD price fixing settlement?  Get your refund at the <a href='http://www.musiccdsettlement.com/english/default.htm'>Music CD Settlement</a> page.  If you're having trouble decyphering the legalize, maybe you're the 2% of the population that have better luck with <a href='http://www.geocities.com/citycollegechess/riddle.html'>this puzzle</a>.

+Requisite geek links:  <a href='http://www.nvmax.com/cgi-bin/community.pl?num=1040534208'>Here</a> are some picture sof the new tablet Zaurus.  If they release one with a SD slot and a CF slot I'll definately buy one.  <a href='http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/Images/earth_lights_lrg.jpg'>This image</a> shows the light on earth at night.  <a href='http://arstechnica.com/paedia/b/bandwidth-latency/bandwidth-latency-1.html'>This article</a> from <a href='http://www.arstechnica.com/'>Ars Technica</a> talks about bandwidth and latency, specifically regarding RAM, but applicable to networking and other technology as well.  I found <a href='http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/1/4/125411/1900'>this Kuro5hin thread</a> which talks about the ramifications of the Slashdot effect (and Farking) on content providers and hosting companies.  From there I stumbled across <a href='http://www.rackshack.net/english/celeron1_3.asp'> these</a> dedicated hosting deals (although <a href='http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/'>Tom</a> and I have already decided to give <a href='http://www.unitedcolo.com/'>United Colo</a> a try, since they don't have a  setup fee, they offer more bandwidth per month, and they're willing to install <a href='http://www.debian.org/'>Debian</a>.

+I found a handful of interesting news articles.  <a href='http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/349/oped/US_media_retain_their_liberal_bias+.shtml'>Here</a> is one talking about bias in the media.  <a href='http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.01/google_pr.html'>This article</a> talks about Google and morality.  <a href='http://www.azoz.com/music/features/0008.html'>This article</a> breaks down some interesting RIAA statistics regarding piracy.  <a href='http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/law01.htm'>Here</a> is an article talking about the drug war, and <a href='http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm'>here</a> is the Drug War Clock.  <a href='http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=14799'>Here</a> is a really good editorial from <a href='http://www.alternet.org/'>AlterNet</a> which discusses the problems with abstinence only education programs.  Not a big Poindexter fan?  <a href='http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=48121&threshold=1&commentsort=0&tid=99&mode=thread&cid=4899522'>This guy</a> decided to give Poindexter some of his own medicine.  I stumbled across <a href='http://www.users.drew.edu/~jlenz/whynot.html'>this essay </a> by Bertrand Russell.  It was written in 1927, but it's still strangly relevant.  If you liked that, then you'll like <a href='http://www.americanatheist.org/win98-99/T2/silverman.html'>this  interview</a> with the late <a href='http://www.douglasadams.com/'>Douglas Adams</a> even more.  <a href='http://www.sltrib.com/2002/Jan/01052002/Saturday/164672.htm'>This essay</a> isn't quite as eloquent as the previous two, but it's still an interesting read.  Worried about living in a police state?  Join the campaign for <a href='http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/Ramares010403/ramares010403.html'>preemptive impeachment</a>!  Finally <a href='http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0209.marshall.html'>here's</a> an amusing article about the current administration.

+Okay, that's it for today.  I'll try and be less of a recluse this year.
