The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And take the hidden paths that run...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Now I hear the salesdroids at Comcast talking about how they're now promising to ramp up bandwidth nationwide to multi-megabit territory.
I woulda' loved to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.
Somewhere... there is a room full of Cisco-wrangler Network Engineers at Comcast that are gnashing teeth and bloodying their chests with flails and glass shards.

Now I hear the salesdroids at Comcast talking about how they're now promising to ramp up bandwidth nationwide to multi-megabit territory. So...I should expect my rates to go up again?
To: Corin Stormhands
Oh, probly so...
Though, I don't get the strategy. Bandwidth that's already at the 1 to 3Mbit point is pretty fast for most people already. And if it is only downstream, most folks wouldn't really be able do much with an extra 7 or 10Mbits. Still can't do 30fps video upstream, or host your own site if they're throttling upstream speed.
So... a web page that used to open in .5 seconds now opens in .3 secods. Yeehaw...

Heh, my service pretty much went out at 9:30 so I went to bed and read.
It was majorly annoying.

Hi all! we're back home... First off we went out for pancakes... then we headed south to the Capitol building, and to Tumwater Falls.
Here she's getting sprayed in the back by cold water ;~D "Rosie - stand over there for a minute so I can take your picture!"
It's threatening to drizzle, but we're thinking of saddling ol Bay up.... we'll see how it goes after coffee.
To: HairOfTheDog
Bay does better after coffee?
To: Corin Stormhands
We do better after coffee ;~D

Ok, the "No Swimming" sign behind her looks like a major "no kidding!" to me.

What a fresh horse, smoochin on the company! I just love Cyn's long black mane and tail. They're so pretty in contrast to her overall color.
