BlogsNow is still the best source for non maintstream items. Those other tools seemed to skewed towards
the big mainstream and established blog themes and news. BlogsNow just ‘brute forces’ it: All links count,
all blogers do. If it matters to enough real people to link to, then it will make the list. No matter what it is.
Amazingly dumb rip off of Simon Robslons “What Barry said” .
At first I thought it was a tongue in cheek homage. It seems though that these kids trying to get away with their blatant, uninspired and unwhelmingly rip off act. How lame. And how emberrassing for the University of Ulm.
ah, the wonders of technology:
EVDO has been around for a little while. Verizon was first, now there is also Sprint. Which has supposed to have the faster Rev.A variant. Without having a voice account with either Sprint runs at 60 while Verizon is 80. Unfortunately Mac OS X support is much smoother better (as in existing) for Verizon. Enter: The internet. And a bit of google.
I decided to get the Sprint USB modem called Ovation U720. Since in all cases there is something sticking out of the laptop I might as well have something that runs on all my laptops. The first nice surprise was that the person in the store told me outright that Mac support is not existing right now. I like that kind of honesty much more than the usual “yeah-yeah” attitude that sells things that then cause troubles and head aches.
I installed the software from the CD onto a PC that was flying around. It took a while, and I realised that PC installers are still the same eye soar that they used to be. After clicking through all the defaults, ignoring a couple of stuck progress bars and all that it the device was activated. The booklet that comes with it talked about calling some phone number. Was not needed in my case. I already had received the 6 digit lock code and the 2 phone number like mon and msid numbers from the sales person at sprint. It took a while, failed here and there, and then said it had activated the connection. Claiming that it would be ready in 4 hours to use. Of course nobody can wait that long. Clicking again on the icon showed me that the USB modem indeed was happily connecting to sprint.
I downloaded the novatel720.dmg.zip (here it’s on my server: http://www.andreaswacker.com/Novatel720.dmg.zip ) and installed it. Rebooted,
and entered the info as outlined in this forum
nice. that the work still makes sense after 4 years. Which is probably a long time for an internet art site.
I just looked at the download speeds of interdubs and am surprised, and then again, not surprised how many people have fast connections these days. And how many actually have really really fast connection. It looks that fios is a big hit for the people that use interdubs from the client side. And a couple of bigger companies have indeed pipes that are as wide as you would think they are. It must be an interesting experience to use the internet with 45Mbit: Lot’s of slower sites and some that are pleasantly fast. Nice that interdubs is one of them. Very nice actualy.
To find which rpm provided the file example you simply enter:

Tomorrow we will talk again about “Zodiac”.
