Do I need to slow down?
« on: November 30, 2012, 01:50:36 PM »
Just installed my new modem - it's supposed to boost my intertube speed by 30% or more.

So, am I going too fast for anybody?  Do I need to slow down?

stay safe.

The first part of your message looked blue and the last part looked red.

I think you're going too fast.

I tested my connection at the office last week.  It usually tests at about 60-80 up, 50-60 up, with a 25-35ms ping.  The day before Thanksgiving, with no classes, almost no students, and very few staff on campus, it tested at 180 down, 150 up with a 12 ms ping.

:O

That's just the wave characteristics.  The particle characteristics arrived before he sent the message.

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Or else from the past because he's moving so fast, he's already gone through the future in the circular universal time continuum and is now traversing back through Universal creation part 2 to catch up with us in a now slightly changed present reality. Have you noticed a pen or something that you thought was on the right side of your desk is now on the left, or you thought it had black ink but it has blue now? That means his connection has exceeded the petaflop to the googleplex power speed and he is/has/will altering the entire freakin' universe.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
