ADSL at home

Wednesday, December 8, 2004

Yesterday I activated my brand new new ADSL Internet connection at home. It worked like a charm at the first try.

Under the effect of "broadband euphoria", I spent the afternoon and evening playing with the new toy, no longer with the hassle of metered phone calls. In a matter of hours I managed to do a lot of things including, but not limited to:

• driving the Mars rovers
• exploring Mars
• exchanging several emails about Unix with Bill Clementson, and managing to confuse his understanding of symlinks
• doing a brief apparition on #lisp
• downloading cool LispM videos
• downloading large, geeky PDF documents on manned space flight (this is rocket science)
• and more -- you get the picture
