After I posted that, I ran it again and got 25 mbps down and about 7 up. Ran it again and got 33037kbps, and 6471kbps up.

Getting 10 mbps download, 3.65 up, using the phone and Wifi connection. Normal connection is about 4mbps down.

Don't know about that. The dual core processor is scary fast for a phone, and, it seems to be very fast when tethered.

So far, I really like the phone, the camera, the operating system, the fact that my sim card works, easy transition from one to the other, and very low download usage. Where I at 10MB was tethering the phone to my laptop.

37 and snow showers this morning.

Don't think RAM on an old system is the answer. Skip that step, and go to new mobo/cpu/ram if the SSD isn't enough.

I enjoy NCIS, both versions. Burn Notice is enjoyable, though the plot with the current bad guy is getting a bit long in the tooth. Anybody like Castle? Haven't made it through the earlier years. How is the recent stuff? Enjoy Hawaii 50 as well.

They have a tracking number you can use. Currently .0000 MB. May have reset when the plan changed. I've hardly ever used the web, but, it will come in handy in crisis situations. Mainly I need a WIFI phone that doesn't charge, which TMobile does advertize. Even that is kind of moot, since I now...

35 again today, and humid

" 1. Get more RAM to use with her old RAM (2x1 GB kit) to bring her up to 4 GB. I can buy a second kit of the kind of RAM she has to bring her up to 4X1 GB sticks ($34). And get an SSD (thinking Crucial M4, 64 GB, $110). Total of $144. 2. Get her more RAM, but insist on going to 8 GB by using...

"For unlimited data plans, full speeds available up to monthly data allotment; after allotment used, speeds slowed to up to 2G speeds for remainder of billing cycle. For 200MB plan, overage of $0.10/MB charged to postpaid customers after monthly data allotment is used; " From useage agreement.

Got a text today that I'm being charged 30 dollars for 5 GB data at 4G a month. I called, and had it changed to 200MB for 10 dollars. Start with that. Apparently after 190MB it slows to 2G speeds, but still allows web access, so, of sorts, it is 'unlimited'. Apparently the data plan I was...

Sam=Ebert on depressants

Watching Leverage from 2 to 13. So far 2.

Leverage seems ok.

Your right. I was confusing the refinery with the Kahe Power Plant. http://www.topozone.com/map_get.asp?z=4&e=590029.234989168&n=2362177.17597209 http://cramp.wcc.hawaii.edu/images/aerial2-web.jpg on this map...

Standard Oil's refinery isn't on the former Naval base. It's on the right hand side of the highway, as you head from the Naval Base towards Makaha. When I was in Hawaii, the base was still active. Had a pass to get on and play golf. I suspect the now Tesoro refinery was built on the naval base...

Passed on the insurance. Have two weeks to think about it. Don't know if it has a deductible, but, it has failure insurance.

Just bought the Tmobile Slider Khaki...

Felt like the tropics today 42 degrees.

It's 79%humidity, and thats what makes it FEEL REALLY cold. It's not like a snow cold. The vest worked. I needed something that wasn't bulky. It goes under a compression shirt, and, when it starts to feel real cold, I switch it on high for a couple minutes. The heating pad, on the lower back...

I have a Pacific Trail down jacket that is super warm, and works on mornings like this, when it's 32.5 degrees, and I have to go to work in a barn, with little or no heat. Better get the layers going...

Skype hasn't been good since MSFT bought it. Stopped working on the Beast, and I haven't had a chance to get my girlfriends' laptop, and try and set it up again. You did get me thinking. I changed my google phone number to the same as her area code, so there shouldn't be any charge. That...

Hi If you get a chance, have a look at the pipeline Masters today. Surf is huge, and it's REALLY good. http://vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/billabongpipemasters2011/live-ultra-gb Couple of great waves in the Heat analyzer: vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/billabongpipemasters2011/heat_analyzer this...

Speaking of which: Costco has some deals on phones for Tmobile. Tmobile, for me, seems to be the only company to go with, because of their wifi free calling. Perfect for calling my girlfriend all day, free. That said, they have a couple phones to look at. The Mytouch slider, the Mytouch...

"In 1998, Tesoro acquired refineries in Kapolei, Hawaii, and Anacortes, Washington." Happened after I left. I'm pretty sure that refinery was for the military only, since it's on what used to be Barber's Point Naval base. IIRC, Barber's Point was slowly being sold off, to the public. "Tesoro...

Standard Oil has the only crude oil refinery in the Hawaiian Islands that I am aware of. This is a huge advantage, since tankers from Asia can dock, dump their oil, and Standard Oil doesn't even have to pay shipping, or put up with restrictive standards for gasoline production.

I just solved one problem. TMobile has Wifi calling, and data, that don't count against your minutes, provided you have a phone that can do it. That would solve the long phone calls with my girlfriend, before 9 PM, from the house. Now I need a wifi phone. The other choice is a land line...

It's 9 am and it's still 34 degrees. Bloody freezing, with 79% Humidity.

Anyone have any idea how much data is average for checking email, limited browsing functions, etc.?

Back to phones. Looked at Tmobiles options. HTC phones are nice. HTC makes the MyTouch Slider 4G for Tmobile. Through Costco, it's a good price point. It would run 80.00 for the phone, and I would be tied in for the basic 40.00 plus some amount of data 10 dollars at least. So, for 80.00 new...

I didn't pay for the brush, just the razor, at 7 dollars plus shipping. Means I can now use all those injectors I bought for the straight razor. I was really happy to get the brush, since badger hair brushes aren't cheap.

Decided to spring for a back pad, waterproof heater: http://www.evo.com/wetsuits/quiksilver-cypher-ps-heated-vest.aspx So far, so good. Figure it's a good deal for doing soccer, lacrosse, and other outdoor sports that don't care about freezing weather.

Howell: Have you tried the Feathers? If so, how long do they last? I just got the last piece, or somewhat, of my Puzzle. The box says, 1.00 Schick Injector Razor, with 20 blades. It's VERY old. The guy included a shaving brush. The razor does expose a good part of the blade, and, I just cut...

I think I've got you on this one. Let me know what you think. I also wonder if the sample blades might be better then the average blade in a large group. So far, one shave, on 7 am blade, .16 cents. Better then getting cut for .50 cents with a disposable.

Sam: Details on the T420? How did you configure it? Price? Distributor?

Cat woke me up. It's 32 degrees outside, and it's a day off. Only have to drive to Sac tonight for a meeting. Heating system is working. Beast makes an excellent secondary heater, while running F@H. 98 degree air, coming out the top...

Did you get a chance to actually run a game on it? I'm really wondering if it blows up when used under the stress created by long time gaming. The concept of a gaming machine, that will survive long hours of useage, is certainly an interesting concept. Get over the battery life, and see what...

BBB: You are comparing a company with near ultimate customer service, and a money back promise, with MagicJack: a company with no customer service, and no money back, despite what they say. Try it. If it works, I'll buy one, and thank you for being the Guinea Pig. I was the first pig.

Why is that amp so expensive? For 550 dollars or so couldn't you buy a REAL amp, and just plug the headphones into that?

32 degrees at 6:30 am. NOT usual.

Hmmm. I've already taken the position of banning any EA games I don't already own from my computers. Looks like they just managed to loose a customer for life. No loss for me.

Depriving the tennant of heat is getting pretty far down the get your ass sued, and loose, if you are a landlord.

I'm scared. I love good audio. How would those headphones work on a standard sound card or stereo out? Do I need 600 dollar headphones? Are they going to be that much better then the 350 dollar HD 595's? http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD595-Performance-Premiere-Headphones/dp/B0001FTVE0

HMMM. I guess it won't get you evicted, just blow your eardrums...

Glad you made it out ok. That's pretty bad... Time to trash it.

Wine industry production was 18-19 billion US dollars last year. One of the things I enjoy about NorKal is being able to drive to Marin and Sac for work, and the wide open spaces. I can drive for 2 hours in Napa and Sonoma and still be in vineyards. Those 'plants' are a huge industry, along...

Something is going on in Kali. A number of the high schools now have solar farms, either on their roofs, or even covers for parking lots. That's millions in current solar panel prices...
