I got my cable modem. I figure i can afford 10 bucks a month for two monthes and then cancel it. Though it will be tough going to either no internet or dial up. But for now I bask in the fastness. ON another note, if you've tried to email me at work chances are i didn't get it. I think my employer, Evil Corporate Company, has cut my access to outside email from everyone. I haven't received any, and People tell me they email me daily. So its annoying. If you need to reach me try holtoch@hotmail.com.
On another note, wife's still not heard back from covenant, there kind of stringing her along right now and thats a bit annoying. Well house work calls, Friends was ok. Funny, ended way better than sinefeld. Though my whole theory is, its just a show, so no big deal.

The following is from the Evil Corporate Company's Info Protection intranet site (my guess is that you've offended the IP gods and they have shut you down):
Q: How much personal e-mail use is considered excessive?
A: If personal e-mail takes up a significant portion of your workday, interferes with meeting the requirements of your job or unnecessarily adds volume to the LAN network, it is excessive.
Q: Can I e-mail my spouse periodically?
A: Just as you can periodically call your spouse or family on the phone, you can periodically send e-mail. The key in both cases is to avoid excess usage and inappropriate content.
Q: Can I send non-business e-mail to others in my department, such as plans for lunch?
A: Of course. Again, the key is to avoid excess usage and inappropriate content.
