Broadband bliss :)

13th May 2003

Once you get broadband installed it slowly starts to dawn on you just how much more you can do now. I just realized that I can now simply download a lot of linux distributions, in reasonably short amounts of time. Just last Friday we needed to replace StarOffice with OpenOffice which I had been putting off buying for several months now. I simply just downloaded it instead, in less than 20 mins and had it installed and working in 30! Also, using ssh for shell-based accounts on webhosts feels indistinguishable from a local machine :)
I need to update my InterceptVector parser a bit, because the IV site is having problems all the time and sometimes (i.e. today :) it’s sending complete junk as a result of which my whole site got disabled! I need to check the whole XML file for validity as well now. Oh well, I shouldn’t complain. It’s really nice of him to provide the service, cuz a lot of people want real money for it.
