Summer Heat and Code Red 2: Electric Boogaloo

In case you haven't noticed, it's HOT HOT HOT out there! I'm having a Faygo Redpop (it's a Michigan thing) and watching the cable modem and router lights flashing away like crazy--thank YOU Code Red. In Dennis Powell's latest article he talks about his own experiences with a cable modem and Code Red, and a cable company which lies to him (the good stuff's at the end--here, for the impatient). Hmmm, maybe I'll give old AT&T a call myself and see what they say about the blinking lights.

A.T. Hun comments: I'd be interested to hear their response, bet it would be vague :) The local megamart just got the full range of Faygo products in by the pallet, so I can start indoctrinating these 'sconsin folks about the wonder and glory that is redpop. They have Vernor's too, another Michigan classic.

The Master comments: Excellent link, Qbe. Strikes right to the heart on my feelings about both Microsoft and cable/telephone companies. They don't care, because everyone needs them and 1 or 2 people who go the other way don't even show up in the GP chart at the end of the month.
